Housing

You will be living with a Spanish family or in a shared apartment with two to five non-EUSA mixed nationality students or young professionals. In both you will be provided with linens.

In a shared flat, you will have your own bedroom, but you will share a bathroom, kitchen (fully stocked with pots and pans so you can cook for yourself), and common living area with your flatmates – these could be other students on your program if you request it, but most likely it will be with students and young professionals from Spain or elsewhere. You will be provided with a weekly groceries stipend to help you pay for food. You are responsible for cooking and cleaning.

If you live with a Spanish family, you will have your own bedroom and are provided with breakfast and dinner seven days a week. Generally, you won’t have access to the kitchen to cook for yourself – all the better for you to take advantage of mealtimes with your Spanish family to really participate in Spanish family life and practice the language. Even though living with a family brings some limitations, many students report their homestay as a highlight of their time in Madrid – you will be working and living in truly Spanish surroundings with very limited temptations for speaking English!

Homestays and flats are carefully screened – all EUSA accommodation is safe, clean, and centrally located or easily accessible by public transportation.
