Final comments
if you want this experience to be the best time of your life - just let everything happen, don't expect or plan too much right from the beginning and - most important - spend time with local students as much as possible!!! you should be especially open to cultural differences in order to be able to really dive into madrid's life (some things work a lot more slowly in spain as you might be used to for example). i only travelled around madrid (to toledo for example) and to barcelona - travelling through spain is amazing, but i preferred staying in madrid with my friends there because 5 months isn't such a long time.

Overall
El panel de asignaturas te permitía tener una vision global de los medios de comunicación, enriquecida con arte y literatura. Las prácticas eran un poco escasas, pero el ambiente creativo animaba al desarrollo paralelo de actividades.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The experience I had has been very positive, starting from the fact that you visti lots of places and people to try to find the best place for you. Being in a shared appartment allows you to have enough personal space and tranquility, and help in the case of need, from the people with whom you live.

I did at frist have an University appartment for Erasmus students, but I chose not to take it when I saw that: the rooms were extrmely small and in bad conditions;no natural light in the appartment;old furniture and its loctaion, quite far from the campus.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
Government assistance<br> An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits
Food:just not being able to cook limitates the shopping list. Tel:not having a private phone restricted the calls to really needed ones. Accomodation:living at home with my parrents, I do not have to pay anything. Nightlife:at home, I used only to study; but thanks to the Sapnish spirit of life, I started relaxing during night while being on Eramus. Travel:studying abroad is a unique chance to visit it in all needed details!
