Erasmus Experience in Madrid, Spain by Alexandra

Why did you choose to go to Madrid, Spain?

Because I didn't have Spanish language exam and this was the only university that teaches in English.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

It's 3-4 months, trimester only lasts 3 months. I got 450 euro/ month until the school lasts.

The university I took is very beautiful (private uni) called UEM but Madrid isn't the best place to live if you are a nature lover and you love animals and palm trees and sea.
