Student Life

Madrid is the city to live in if you are looking to have a dynamic, professional, and cosmopolitan living experience, as well as begin to understand the origins of Latino culture.

You’ve seen images of Spain: the running of the bulls in Pamplona that Hemingway described, a bull fight at Las Ventas in Madrid, a terraza with people sipping sangría and enjoying the late afternoon sunlight, or any number of images of its fabulous beaches. In Madrid you also have the Prado Musuem and the Reina Sofia, where you will see Velazquez’s Las Meninas in person or Picasso’s greatest work, Guernica. In Madrid you’ll become a madrileño taking the Metro to work, and sitting at the cafés in La Latina, and joining everyone when you go de marcha at night and become involved in Madrid’s famous night life. As Madrid attracts people from across Spain, Europe, and the world, there are a lot of adopted madrileños or gatos (cats), as they are called in Madrid, so you’ll be in good company as you explore your new surroundings.

We encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities that await. Depending on what your home university’s program includes, experiencing Madrid with EUSA could mean activities like discovering the best tapas restaurants with our local experts, guided tours of the city, or a trip to Toledo to see the historic cathedral and synagogue.

Part of the thrill of living in a new city is the chance to discover it for yourself – but as a EUSA student, you won’t be by yourself. Our Madrid team is only a phone call away in case of emergency – 24 hours a day, every day.
