Housing & Meals
Housing
精东传媒 Madrid offers diverse housing options to maximize your study abroad experience, including student residence halls, or shared apartments in several city districts. All housing options are located near supermarkets, restaurants, gyms, and public transportation and provide the convenience of urban living in one of Europe鈥檚 largest cosmopolitan cities.鈥赌赌&苍产蝉辫;
Student housing in Madrid typically looks different than what you may be used to in the U.S. Unlike most college campuses, 精东传媒 does not own or manage student housing in Madrid. We work within local housing networks to carefully identify housing partners, vendors, and homestay hosts that offer students a culturally active living experience.鈥 鈥
All Madrid housing sizes, room designs, and amenities vary and have their own distinct features. Living in Madrid may mean downsizing for the duration of your stay, as student housing space and location are at a premium (for example, living space, kitchen, washing machines, or bedroom size may be smaller than what you鈥檙e used to at home). In the summer, 精东传媒 only guarantees that each room has a fan, and only a select few accommodations may have centrally controlled air conditioning.鈥
Standard Housing:鈥疘ncludes a double room in a shared apartment or residence hall鈥 located within a 70-minute commute to Puerta del Sol train Station. Meals are not included in the dorms or apartments.鈥赌赌&苍产蝉辫;
- Shared Apartments:鈥Shared apartments are modest in size and feature a few amenities like basic furniture, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi access, a room fan, maintenance repair services, bed linens, towels, and a kitchen.鈥 鈥
- Residence Halls:鈥Residence Halls are modern, offer Wi-Fi access, and typically house students in single or shared bedrooms with an individual or shared kitchen. Residence Halls locations may vary.鈥
Select Housing:鈥Includes a single room at a shared apartment or residence hall located within a 30-70 minute commute to Puerta del Sol train Station. Meals are not included in residence Halls or apartments.鈥Select housing requires an additional fee.鈥赌赌&苍产蝉辫;

If we cannot accommodate your first housing choice, we'll let you know before you arrive. Non-standard housing options require an additional fee that can be found in the program Dates and Fees.
Meals
Residence Halls/Shared Apartments:鈥疢eals are not included. Residence halls and apartments have direct access to supermarkets, restaurants, public transport, and independent dining halls. Students can purchase dining hall meal plans on their own if offered by the residence hall management.鈥赌赌&苍产蝉辫;
