Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM)

The educational system in Sapin: it is much of a memory work than a reasoning work...

It is a university with much international alagreements so you will always meet someone of a differnet country.

Well you have to expearience it yourself anyway:-)

Well the university it self is kind of nice but it´s more the city, people and all that staff what makes it what it is:-)

I wish I had known that the international student experience is such great opportunity and fun!!!!!:):)

Well, Complutense is the biggest university in Spain. There are some red tape problems and not everything is clear to a foreigner. As far as the Faculty of Business&Economics is concerned, they have quite wide offer of courses but all of them are in Spanish. The standard and quality of courses is actually up to teachers so before making a final declaration I suggest making an "investigation" in advance ;);).

On no account compare your host country to your native one, it just makes any problems you come accross worse.

I personally did not enjoy as great an experience as my friends. I found being the only foreigner in most of my classes difficult compared to my friends who had fellow foreign students with which to share their experiences. I found specific information difficult to get hold of at first and there was no helpful advice for non-erasmus students which made me feel superfluous. However most of my teachers were friendly and some of the students made an effort to get to know me. Overall I think I would recommend one of the other universities in Madrid or to come as an Erasmus student.
