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.

    le campus est cool mais loin du centre de madrid , et surtout ne pas vivre dans Getafe car c'est trop loin , les cours sont sympas , plus facile qu'en france sauf les cours d'economies, et les cours ne sont jamais avec les memes personnes

    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

    registration was a mess, campus is normal, nothing special. I would never pick this uni again. Avoid at all costs.

    campus was good, 20min train ride from sol, you have to be on time to registrate the courses you want.
