Life in Madrid
Only in Madrid can you stroll through the lovely
Retiro Park and enjoy the jugglers and mimes, treat
yourself to "tapas" while taking in the exquisite
design of the old Plaza Mayor, or view the paintings
of Goya, Velasquez, and El Greco at the Prado Museum.
Also Madrid's fabulous public transportation system
makes conquering this exciting city easy!
Madrid truly lives up to its title as the city that
never sleeps. Night-owls delight in Madrid as you
are expected to eat and dance the night away, whether
you're twenty years old or fifty years old. There
is always something to do in Madrid no matter what
time it is.
It's also easy to get involved in activities on campus
through the community
service office or through arts
or sports programs.

Housing and Meals
Homestays:
Full language integration happens in the home, as
well as the classroom. During your semester in Madrid
you have the optiong to live in a Spanish home. Your
homestay allows you to experience the warmth and hospitality
of Spain while improving your language skills. Once
you have completed AU Abroad on-line pre-departure
forms, AU Abroad Madrid on-site Coordinator will organize
your living arrangements before you arrive. Students
may be in single or double rooms. In the homestay,
students enjoy breakfast, lunch, evening meals and,
in most cases, weekly laundry.
Other housing options:
UAM has several student
housing options available to visiting students.
The new ERASMUS
dorm is particularly popular with international
students. Students can choose from singles rooms with
a shared or non-shared kitchen. Or double rooms with
a variety of setups with and without a kitchen.
There are several on-campus
cafeterias frequented by students at AUM. For
