I wish I had known...
The system is very much bureaucratic even at university, where they have a special office for exchange students. It takes a lot of effort, time and patient to get something arranged.

one has to be prepared for unexpected expenses. And in case of difficulties you are on your own, you have plenty of friends but especially in the beginning you can't turn to a good friend or family.

“Comunicación Audiovisual: Contenidos innecesarios y los útiles a destiempo”
Fran B
Spain,
Radio / TV Broadcasting, 2020
Overall
La organización de esta carrera cuando yo la cuersé fue extremadamente caótica. Asignaturas fuera de lugar, a destiempo o completamente innecesarias o incompletas.
Aprecio la enseñanza global y diversa en diferentes ámbitos, pero no cuando eso entorpece el aprendizaje real de la propia carrera que me comprometí a completar.
Asignaturas como Lengua (que fue interesante pero poco útil), Arte (con conceptos ya conocidos para alguien de humanidades y con una profesora poco "alegre") o Psicología (espectacularmente genérica), que se impartían a comienzo de la carrera, y otras como Edición y Postproducción que se impartió en 4º de carrera, para cuyo momento ya nos habían exigido realizar múltiples proyectos en otras asignaturas para los cuales esa aptitud era tremendamente necesaria.
En términos generales, una carrera intersante, pero mal organizada, con asignaturas vacías de relevancia, que quitaban peso a otras verdaderamente importantes a las que se les dedicó menos tiempo y, según pude observar, esfuerzo por parte de la administración.
Si debo recomendarla, es puramente porque la facultad de Ciencias de la Información es muy diversa y abierta y porque la creatividad de los estudiantes allí es muy grande. Esto ayuda a sentir emoción por la carrera a pesar de que ella misma no te la crea.

The erasmus office at the economics faculty is a big support and most local students are helpful!

Take a public transport abonnement as quickly as you can-saves a lot of money. Do not pay more than 300.-euro rent a month. Try and travel round spain going to the cities for fallas a special fiesta, which is held throughout spain!

Madrid is already known for its movida, providing every kind of night entertainment one could wish for. Still, my best memories remain in the Lavapies immigrant quarter, where many people gather in the Columbian, Brazilenian and funky bars before swithching perhaps to some performances given in the numerous plazas. The best place to dicover contemporay sapnish music is the "Cafe la Palma" in Calle de la Palma . For a more relaxed atmosphere, the La Latina quarter is the most attractive, with it's cafes and bares de tapas, and magnific location in the Old Town of Madrd.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I enjoyed the freedom of living in my own apartment with other Spaniards my age. Living in this situation I was able to adapt myself to the life in Madrid almost immediately. The spanish students were all my age and together we all had a lot in common. We learned and grew a lot from living together. I've lived with a family in Seville, Spain in the past. It was good, however I believe that living with students I was able to learn more and grow more. With the family I was more restrited, whereas with the student living I was free to come and go as I pleased.

Personal comments
Once again I did not live on campus at the Universtiy. I chose to live in a apartment with 4 other Spanish speaking people. I lived with one girl from Chile, 2 from Spain, and 1 male from Columbia. We all got along so well and it made my living situation an unforgetable experience. Living in close quarters with so many different cultures made me more open and attentive to the differences of each culture. It was an amazing opportunity to have experienced this.

La mayoria de mis profesores eran personas increiblemente nutritivas. El modo de compaginar praticas y teoría era dinámico.
En general, la experiencia que tuve alli fue muy muy buena, peae a que la facultad estaba ya muy vieja
