If you enter a bar and you want the bartender to notice you, you had better to shout. don't be afraid to seem arrrogant.

it's quite far for city center (actually the campus is in Getafe). so it's better to find an accomodation in the city center becasue in Getafe there is nothing. Classes in English are easier.
