Personal comments
The center of Madrid is very good,Plaza Santana,Sol.There are mainly bars, but are for all kinds of music preferences, english hits or spanish music.Moncloa is a place you should visit as well as the bars near the Bernabeau, although a bit "pijos". Drinking is very cheap in Spain, and especially chupitos=shots!You should definitely go to Suristan,for Latin music, Joyeria, for shots and english dance music, Palacio Gavinier, if I remember correctly the name,for the international nights.You will definitely enjoy!Near the university, Momentos is the best bar!

I wish I had known...
That it was so difficult to find an apartment to rent in September. ( almost impossible). Newspapers publicity doesn´t work. It is a waste of time and money. The solution is walking on the streets and looking for "alquilo" announcements on the porches.

Personal recommendation
They have very good post-graduated programs. A lot of practical stuff and good teachers. Plus you can choose between studying in english or Spanish.
They also have great facilities: good library and computers with internet free for all students and most of the time available.

Be more warmer with Erasmus and have a little faith in "us", some of us wants to study and have good marks, that's why we have chose Carlos III: we have put ur faith in you!

Travel the much as you can, also with ESN, rent a car with you friends, go to Andalucia or Portugal. Drink as you have never had before, but be sure someone sober has an eye on you. Don't be racist, try.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I grew up and learned a lot about myself and how to relate with people. We were all Erasmus students from different countries, it was unforgettable.

Personal comments
I was no interested in it, campus and housing were pretty far away from the city center, so I preferred to find a central shared flat on my own.
