Friends of friends

It was nice for the location but also very basic, most things we had to buy ourselves, had some issues with only cold water or electricity black outs.

I loved all the bars in Malasana, especially the rock bars as I am not the biggest club goer.

I liked creative thinking a lot and also Audiovisual Workshop the most.

Everything was cool and well organised. only problems I faced happened at the start due to schedule issues.

Barcelona

I did not think I would spend that much, maybe knowing the best supermarkets. also safety, as I have been robbed and assaulted, I didn't really have anyone to help me or support me.

Be open, talk to everyone, don't be shy, you will find your people, be careful with trusting complete strangers, enjoy but don't forget to study for exams.

I loved it first for its location, the apartment was in the city center, i could do everything by foot Then the apartment itself was lovely and had everything i needed

Loved Gramabar for its cocktails, and Calle de la Victoria is definitely one of the best if you’re looking for nice bars

I was in the marketing program, i recommend it if you’re looking for an easy program that’s gonna allow you to have a lot of free time for your activities

Loved the teachers, but the organisation was very bad and disappointing, they don’t care about their international students at all, so at the end i don’t recommend this university if, like me, you’re looking for something that’s gonna make registrations and issues easy.

From Madrid, you can go to Toledo for free (45 minutes trip) with the Abono Joven, very lovely city. You can also go to Segovia (1 hour trip) for around 10€ total. For bigger cities, you can take the train to Sevilla, or Valencia, for around 35€ total. I really recommend those two cities because there is a lot to do.

Before arriving to Madrid, order your transport subscription (Abono Joven if you’re under 25) because it can take up to 3 weeks to get it.

La Latina, Madrid (very central)

Idealista (website)

I like it because it's very central and was a very good way to meet other students and friends (I lived with 8 people), but also aware that you end up overpaying in these kind of apartments and the landlords can be very difficult and dissmissive

The best area for bars was Malasana and la Latina, clubs are scattered all over the city

I don't recommend history/ philosophy modules if you're not a native speaker- many teachers won't make an effort to accommodate erasmus students and can become very difficult and overwhelming, high level of spanish needed

the campus is very nice, lots of green spaces- registration was easy and you receive lots of email instructions

There are many nice towns on the outskirts, travel is very very cheap so you can go to places like Segovia or Toledo like an hour from Madrid for 6 euros return. Also very well communicated to the rest of Spain, can take trains or coaches to other cities and organise many beach town getaways- got a coach to granada for 18 euros return

Transport is amazing, everyone under 25 can pay 10 euros a month for a travel card that gives u access to every transport system in Madrid and very well connected metro system, feels like a very safe city and very walkable, has a very lively atmosphere, people out on the streets until late, relatively cheap but I would say night life is not cheap, food is amazing and great places to eat on every street, so many cafes and tapas bars

Chamberi

Idealista

It was great because the neighbourhood is perfect for students and very safe. Also very central

For international students, we often went to Serrano clubs and that was nice, but I recommend trying other bars and clubs that are more for the locals so you really get to experience the nightlife. Madrid has the best nightlife in Europe by far, there is always something to do every day of the week

I recommend not taking classes in Spanish if you are not fluent. Save yourself the time and effort and just take them in English.

The uni was quite far from the city so that is annoying. I would not recommend staying close to the uni because you would then miss out on the Madrid life. However, the campus was nice and the teachers were cool. Make sure to meet people on your first weeks so that your uni experience is not isolated.

You can go everywhere in Spain with the bullet trains. Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla and Malaga are my top destinations. However, you can also take short trips to Segovia and Toledo for a change of vibe.

Get the 10 euro card for students that will give you unlimited transport for a whole month. Get Class Pass if you would like to visit some gyms for free. Go to eat at places like Tapas Tapas to enjoy cheap Spanish food.

The campus is big and very pleasant. The registration was easy. I would not pick the same university again because the teachers are not qualified, some of them don't have a real lesson to teach and we don't understand a single word when they speak English.

Going to Valencia, Toledo, Alicante, Morocco, Granada and Sevilla

You have to create your transport card as soon as possible. Alimentaciónes are very expensive so try to buy alcohol or other purchases in supermarkets (you can buy alcohol before 10:30 pm in supermarkets). The cost of life is not that cheap if you want to eat well or to go to the restaurant because it's the capital. Try to go and talk with spanish people, to integrate their group very early or to do all the activities that allow you to meet international students at the very beginning of the semester.

You have to party, to have fun, to meet people, to walk around the city and discover all the áreas and to eat at the restaurant if possible and to try local food (tapas). But don't forget that you also have to pass your exams and sometimes it is not that easy even for an erasmus students.

Helphousing - flat in plaza Santa Ana

It is a good flat, but the rooms with access to outside windows are reserved for american students (their equivalent to erasmus, their school takes care of the room booking for them). I would nonetheless recommend helphousing without a doubt, it is a great agency, reactive and genuine. As soon as we had a problem, our flat manager was quick to react and was lovely. Sure comes with a reservation fee, but it iw the price to book your room remotely.

Didn't go out much because of work, but recommend you'd go to Sala Equis, really lived by locals. Spaniards love the 100 montaditos for cheap bears and tapas. I personnaly recommend you to eat at Pez Tortilla and Tiki Taco, both cheap but very good.

I recommend the finance class within the economic grad. Especially the "Bolsa y mercado de capitales" one. The teacher is amazing and very invested in his students' penetration of finance professional circle.

The master classes registration was a nightmare. I had a lot of problems in registrating to classes because i missed 3 lines written in the middle of a PDF sent only once, in a mail that was an informatic and automatic confirmation of the university registration. All the other communications indicated another date than the one in the PDF, which led to huge complications .. Please read carefully every email and attachements.

Yes it’s nice a big company very easy to organise stuff the bills aren’t included so I would say it’s probably easier to find a different company as the prices are more expensive for what else is out there but I used the website spot a home to find it but would NOT recommend as they make you pay so many extra fees.

So much to do it doesn’t seem it but there is such a variety of bars and clubs and parks etc.

I am doing marketing and it’s a good course but it took them 3 weeks after my start date to give me my timetable so I struggled to catch up - the work load is alot a lot heavier then at trent which is difficult to adjust to at the beginning but i honestly am enjoying it overall just didn’t expect it to be so slow.

The campus is quite far out the city but it’s easy to get to - I probably wouldn’t pick it again just based on my experience but it is a good university they have some really good teachers.

You can go to so many different cities inside and outside of Spain for free for the day or very cheap - the travel options are very good.

You need to get a transport card as soon as you get here it’s €10 a month and you can use it for anything. You can also walk to a lot off place. There’s also a lot of options of meeting people from group chats and in person.

Don’t pay for all the clubs - there is guest list for pretty much everything and it’s easy to get onto. However you do have to be there before a certain time.

Very easy, I loved so much having class in a tower, lots of French people and international full time students, you can easily make friends.

Visit Spain with friends, it's really cheap by train and really worth it.

In Malasaña, a 42 minute walk from CEU San Pablo, Facultad de Humandides

https://www.spotahome.com/

Over the past months, I have had the opportunity to study abroad and live in a shared apartment in Madrid. I booked my accommodation through Spotahome, a platform widely used by international students. While the experience was enriching overall, I believe it’s important, especially for other international students and young professionals, to be aware of some of the challenges I encountered along the way. Here are a few key issues I faced during my stay: 🔹 Check-in penalties: applied only one way Upon arrival, I was told that tenants were not allowed to arrive more than 20 minutes later than their scheduled check-in time. Any delay would incur a €25 fee per 20 minutes. Ironically, the person responsible for giving me access arrived one hour late, without any form of compensation or apology. 🔹 Cash payments for administrative fees and deposit Both the €300 security deposit and the €650 administrative fee had to be paid in cash. This felt unusual and uncomfortable, especially for an international rental, and raised questions about transparency and compliance with standard rental practices. 🔹 Unexpected charges for hosting friends Although my rental agreement did not include any restrictions or fees regarding guest overnight stays, I was later informed that having friends sleep over was not allowed unless I paid an additional cash fee, again, without any official documentation. This created unnecessary stress and confusion. 🔹 Shared household products and threatened penalties Toward the end of my stay, tenants received a message stating that we could be charged €25 each if cleaning products such as detergent, trash bags or toilet paper were missing. Even though, the contract did not mention this cost structure. This created friction and uncertainty among housemates. Despite these challenges, I want to highlight that my overall experience was made incredibly positive thanks to my amazing flatmates. They turned the flat into a real home and made the entire stay unforgettable. If I had to choose again, I would definitely pick a different place and book through a different organization.

I really liked Teatro Barcélo!

My Academic Experience at CEU San Pablo All my courses at CEU San Pablo were taught in English, and overall I had a very positive academic experience. I followed the following subjects: Modern-Day History Contemporary Spanish History Spanish (language for foreign students, level A0) Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church Communication and Law I highly recommend any course taught by Ricardo Ruiz de la Serna. He is truly an outstanding professor. I took Modern-Day History and Communication and Law with him, and both were extremely engaging. His courses do not include assignments or midterms; your grade is based solely on the final exam, which keeps the workload manageable and clear. Contemporary Spanish History was less appealing to me. The course felt quite monotonous, and the evaluation consisted of a book exam on a mandatory reading, a midterm, and a final exam. Because of this structure and the overall pace, I would not personally recommend it. The Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church was a very pleasant course, mainly thanks to the fantastic professor who created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, the content itself interested me a bit less. The course is graded entirely through a final exam. My Spanish class was one of my favorite experiences. I genuinely enjoyed it and learned a lot. The evaluation consists of a midterm, a presentation, and a final exam. It was also the perfect opportunity to meet other international students: I made most of my friends through this course!

My overall experience at CEU San Pablo was very positive. I genuinely think it is a great university, and I would definitely choose it again. The guidance and support for students were always well-organized, and I felt I could rely on the staff whenever I needed help. Another major advantage is the large number of international students. This created a very open and welcoming environment and made it easy to build a strong international network. Studying at CEU San Pablo truly felt like being part of a diverse and supportive community. Just make sure you pick your courses in time!!

I didn't take any trips ...

Living in Madrid was an amazing experience. The public transportation system is incredibly affordable: as a student, you only pay €10 per month, which makes getting around the city extremely easy. I lived in the city center, so almost everything was within walking distance, which was absolutely ideal. Another thing I loved was that most shops stay open until 10 PM, which honestly felt like heaven on earth. Madrid is lively, convenient, and full of energy, and it truly made my stay unforgettable.

No, it is a scam because the agency factures incredible fees that don't appear at first. My rent appeared to be 555 with electricity+heating but the "landlord fees" were 870 and Spotahome fees were an additional 242. This is crazy. Furthermore, the flat was very poorly furnished : no glasses, only 5 plates, a few mugs, all pans scratched. The bed had no duvet.

No favorite

I recommend the psychology third year and fourth year classes, some of which I have attended.

I studied psychology, so I was in the new building 10 mins away from the Monteprincipe campus. It is very nice, but also the cafeteria is incredibly expensive (10 euros for main dish, extra payment for dessert). I would not pick the same Uni because the students are very cold towards erasmus students. The students come from wealthy backrounds. However, the taching staff is very helpful, patient and sweet.The psychology coordinator from CEU San Pablo is the absolute best, she is very reactive and always there to help. Finally, I greatly appreciated the number of students per class, because we have lectures in big amphitheatres, we are never more than 30 in theory classes and never more than 15 in practical classes.

Segovia, Toledo are very easy to reach. So worth it.

Transport card is so cheap: 10 euros per month. The city electric bikes are also very cheap : 0,5 euros for 30 first minutes of travel. So worth it to take the bike to visit the city. Rain is a rare occurence until november. Weather is very sweet. I would not say spanish food is the best culinary experience, but it is very nice to try out tortilla, calamar, many kinds of tapas, accompanied by tint de verano (alcohol drink). The city center is alive until very late at night. However, the the price of life is higher than in other parts of Spain. It is not as cheap as you would think.

The Spanish don't speak much of English. They are very happy that you try speaking their language. If you don't speak spanish, then you might have poorer experience with them.

The room was okay, kinda cold and noisy because the windows were so thin. But the landlord lives in the same appartement and he made the living experience here so shit. He was always whistling and singing loudly, watching his tv shows full volume. He charged us extra for everything and everyone we wanted to have over. And when i wanted to go into a discussion he just couldn't speak any english despite singinn to Fleetwood Mac earlier in the morning! If i had to choose again i would choose a different place cause we also missed a common living room which sucked.

I would not recomend Spanish History, it was just really boring. The way the teacher teached was awful, he was really nice tho. I would recomend any class with Ricardo Ruiz De La Serna as teacher!

I was on the humanities faculty and it was so nice. Very chique, a lot of rich/good looking people. I loved it and i would love to study there for my full degree!

I only went to Alicante cause i did not have a lot of money to travel all the time but Morocco is so close, honestly just do the trips that Citylife offers. But then alone with your friendgroup

Unfortunately, my experience with this school has not been positive. The organization is quite poor — it took more than a month and a half before I finally got access to my student profile. There’s also very little flexibility. For example, in Belgium, during an Erasmus program, classes are often held in English to accommodate international students, but here that’s hardly the case. On top of that, there are no Spanish lessons offered, which makes integration even more difficult. I also find the mandatory attendance policy unnecessary. At the age of 22, students should be responsible for managing their own attendance rather than being constantly monitored. Overall, I would not recommend this school, especially for international students.

Never

You can travel for very cheap money

Transport is amezing. City is very safe

I would really recommend to book the stay from helphousing it’s very safe and no scamming. And bring your wintercoat because even in Spain, it can get cold. (And make sure you know some Spanish before you go here)

Yess, it was sincerly awesome because i had the opportunity to meet new people from very different places in the world (Germany, Argentina,China,...). It was also a great experience because it helped me to appreciate the cultural difference in living habbits. The only negative point would be the fact that in co-living we have less intimity.

El Tiki Taco is one of the best Mexican restaurant i have tried, the "Chiquita" was such a great place to have a drink with friends (Plaza Mayor), and there are a lot of rooftops very cool to do in Madrid (to be honest i can't remember their names).

Corporate Finance and other Financial courses, if u are really interested in discovering these kind of topics, IE has a very different approach that is even more practical and business oriented than other universities i think.

Campus is insane (in the Tower u will be impressed), the selection of the course was a bit messy but i'm sure they will ensure that it will be easier next time. With no doubts i would choose IE again to live the same experience for a longer period !!!

Lisbone in Portugal, Sevilla, Segovia, and Toledo are the best place to visit for sure !

The food is very diversified and people are awesome with u whenever u ask something they will help u to figure it out. And i would say that night clubs are less fancy than the bar because u can really discover the real beauty of Madrid during the night when you are outside.

Enjoy your exchange it is one of the best opportunities to make new friends from every region of the world, so hve fun and work also because IE is still a very demanding formation.

Went you start to use idealista some professional preferred, talk in WhatsApp compared a talk directly on the app but it normal for Spain. All the people, company … use WhatsApp

I don’t rely have a top bar or a top club. All is different and you have a lot of choice. Generally you have in some club, a “guest list” so you can going in club without paying.

All classes is interesting. Personally, just I have 1 classes is very difficult, is banking management. The classe is really interesting but the exam is really hard. The teacher is really strict

Carlos III is really cool, the campus is bigger and you have a lot of exchanges. If I need to choose a other time a partner university, I think I choose Carlos III a other time. Just one wrong point, for choosing class, he have a system like a “shot gun”, first people send I want this class, have his class. But if you have a problem or you are not fast, it’s possible you have other class you don’t like and you don’t want for the semester

If you want to come back in your country, is really not expensive, and you have all the Spain for less of 1h in plan and not expensive to. But generally you don’t have time because all the weekend you have new even in Madrid or close to

istar and los amantes my favorite ones to go party !! then you also have goya social club, lula club, fitz, toy room, bule bule, barbaran, rooftop : cibeles, astral, picalargatos…

marketing classes +++ corporate strategy - - - les cours sont assez durs à cunef je tiens à le préciser.

i would never choose cunef again!! il n’y a aucun accompagnement du corps professoral, vous allez être livré à vous même. Le campus est pas ouf, très peu d’infrastructures pour reviser et le choix des cours est terrible.. faites vous un bon emploi du temps pour ne pas finir entre 20h et 21h.

seville, marrakech, tolède, porto, valence

take the metro card monthly, uber are not expensive and go to zara !!

faites un emploi du temps avec de bons horaires, attention les espagnols à cunef ne sont pas très gentils ni accueillant.. kiffez votre expérience comme je l’ai fait! Madrid c’est ouf et ça va passer vite.

Idk it’s from contact

The neighbourhood perfect but the appartment no

I didn’t go to party but Fucking Monday is a Classic

I don’t really know you just need to look at all details of course because class are quite hard

the campus is cool but don’t worry if you don’t have all courses you want everytime you can found a place after and you need to have a list of all class you like because everything is leaving fast

Train and metro

Salamanca best place a lot of restaurant race and everything

Malasana

HousingAnywhere

Malasana is a great place to live but rent are very expensive. Try to meet someone and take a flat together as "studios" are really expensive.

You need to do the "F cking Monday" parties (often at the start of the week, but worth it) at the Shoko. There is cool bars everywhere in Malasana.

I took finance master courses (International portfolio management, alternatives, ...), if you want to work these are great but a bit demanding.

There are 2 campus and you can have course on both. Arrange your schedule to have all of them in the main campus. 15 min walk between the both.

Many city to visit around madrid (toledo, segovia, ...)

Transport is 8€/month, do not forget to order your transport card as fast as you can. Food is great and grocery shopping is not that expensive.

Enjoy Madrid

It is a great student residence with lots of good facilities like pool or padel court. But it's far from the city centrer.

The best clubs are the teatro kapital, shoko, funcking Monday, icon. For bars, there are many of them in districts of Chueca and La Latina. There are festivals sometimes in the city but should check before.

I don't have special recommendations, even if economic classes and financial classes are more complicated than marketing ones. But in general, you have to study more for every classes like the local students, and you have a minimum grade required at each exams to succeed, so there is pressure.

The campus is nice and modern. Registration for courses is quit easy. But I won't go back to this university because I have studied a lot more during this exchange than in my years at kedge. And the university integration and mood was not up to my expectations.

You can go everywhere in Spain and even in Portugal at low price. The best trip to make from Madrid is to Morocco because it's nearby. You can go in Spanish and Portuguese islands as well at low price.

Madrid is safe and well served by transports and the transport card is not that expensive. The importante company to know is City Life because they take care of exchange students activities like trips. There are many bars, restaurants, parks, activities, monuments in Madrid.

Usera district – calm but lively, with many local shops. Avoid Lavapiés (unsafe, especially for girls).

Yes, totally. Spotahome is reliable. Studio apartment, 28 m².

Rooftops: Picalagartos, Riu Plaza, Tavernier Clubs and bars by night: Monday: Fucking Monday (Shoko) Tuesday: Calle 365 Wednesday: FITZ Thursday: Icon / Bonded Friday: Tho Club / Kapital / Costa / Bule Bule Saturday: Tho Club / Opium / Candidose Restaurants: Italian: Beata Pasta / Bar Tomate Brunch: Zenith Tapas: Lateral / Don Benito Japanese: Tokami (all you can eat) Healthy & cafés: Honest Greens Fast food: Tacobell / Papizza / Popeyes

All classes are interesting with many choices. Exams are difficult: you must score at least 5/10 in every evaluation, not just the total average.

Registration is simple. Campus is small but has a nice cafeteria and vending machines. Professors are kind and approachable. Workload is heavy compared to other schools, with lots of homework. Class schedule is unusual (16h–21h), but it leaves mornings free. Campus is far from the city center: 1h commute (metro to Moncloa + 20 min bus). Arrive early for buses as they get full. 20% absences are allowed in each course.

I preferred to fully enjoy Madrid, but Valencia and other Spanish cities are popular among students.

Transport: Abono Joven pass for under 26s is only 8€/month and covers all of Madrid. Cabify is cheaper than taxis. Safety: very secure except Lavapiés. Cost of living: affordable, only housing is expensive. Beauty services (like nails) are much cheaper than in Paris. Weather: usually warm, but February is rainy . Food: Mercadona for groceries, La Sirena for frozen food (like Picard), Primaprix for cheap basics.

Feel free to ask me questions on Instagram. I have also has a detailed report about my exchange I can share.
