Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM)

It´s an ideal place for international students wanting to explore the culture of learning, free from hassles of doing daily chores like cooking and laundry. Room assignments are properly arranged in such a way that no two or three people from the same country are located in the same floor - providing each one the opportunity to mingle with other nationalities. There´s a library with complete and impressive collection of books. Plus the computer room with internet connection that gives us the mental peace of not having to compute computer rentals and where we can do our research papers 24 hours a day. Likewise we have a gymn and a football/tennis court for sports buff. In summer, we can take a plunge in the properly maintained swimming pool. Meals are served and we have a good choice from mediterranean recipes to continental cuisines. Staying here doesn´t give anyone an excuse to fail in his studies.

Well, to get to Madrid, the best way is to take a plane and get off at Barajas Airport. In Madrid, to move through the city so called ABONO is a must!It costs about 35 euro/month and you can use all means of public transport (metro, bus). Madrid is localizated in the center of Spain so travalling by buses, trains you can visit the north of Spain (Pais Vasco, Cantabria, Galicia), the east coast ( Catalunia), the south (Andalucia) and have a trip to Portugal!! :):) Euro26 Student Card gives you some discounts.

an excellent experience- madrid is a great city to be a student in!
