be patient with spanish bureaucracy, and also don't stress too much about finding a flat- there is plenty of accomodation around.

Communicate very well what you want to do and talk to the teachers so they acknowledge your situation. I find this to be of great help in terms of doing group studies.

Final comments
If you want to live outside of the school don't settle for comments like 'you can not use the phone' or 'you can not have visits'. Remember that you will probably stay in the country for a year, and that if you pay for your rent you have the same rights as people that are from Spain in terms of living rights.

“Facultad de Educación en la Universidad Complutense”

Overall
Este es mi cuarto y último curso estudiando en la Universidad Complutense. Mi facultad es la Facultad de Educación, pues estoy estudiando Educación Primaria. Es increíble el buen ambiente que hay en las facultades de la Complutense, especialmente en la mía, pues aunque no conozcas a la mitad de la gente, todos son muy amables y en seguida socializas con todo el mundo. Los sitios donde más nos juntamos todos son la cafetería y fuera de la cafetería, donde hay unas mesas y unos bancos al aire libre junto con un césped en el que te puedes sentar.
Los profesores, a pesar de ser tantos alumnos en las aulas, son muy atentos y siempre están dispuestos a prestar ayuda en todo momento.

I wish I had known...
The cost of living in an apartment was so much cheaper and being an exchange student doesn't require a 6000k instead you can enroll in the University for a fraction of that cost!

Try to get more of the spanish students involved with the language program so that we can meet more of them.

Don't overpack, bring peanut butter and a strip of carpet, don't buy the telephone card that has a little gold square on the right upperhand corner to call to the US instead go to Sol in one of those kisko for $13 card that gives you sooo many more minutes, go to a travel agent for great travel packages, wake up early even if it hard, put yourself in awkward situtations so that you can learn more about yourself, avoid subway and mcdonalds so that you can try the palle (if you loose too much weight because you can't find anything you like, the ham and cheese is a great alternative).

I had no idea that i would have been so difficoult finding a room. My university should have suggested me to leave before, in order to have enough time to look for an accomodation.

Living and studying in madrid was great.
I had some problems in the first months, because here there are so much foreigner students that the host university is not be able to help anyone. It is more hard than spend a period studying in a smaller city. however there are other advantages. Here social and nightlife is amazing!!!
