Spain Map

Student Spain is a map of universities, not one campus. Madrid and Barcelona hold the biggest clusters. Granada and Salamanca are university towns. Valencia and Seville sit between size and street life.

Madrid — many universities, one capital

Universities: Complutense (UCM) — the giant historic public university, medicine, law, humanities. Autónoma (UAM) — sciences at Cantoblanco. Politécnica (UPM) — engineering and architecture. Carlos III (UC3M) — economics, law, engineering, more English-taught public degrees than most. Alcalá. UNED for distance study. Private schools include IE, Comillas, CEU San Pablo.

Student life: Metro between faculties. Libraries that stay open. Retiro on a free afternoon. Classmates from Spain, Latin America, Africa, Asia. Dinners start late. Winters are colder than Nairobi; summers are dry heat. You live in a barrio, not next to the palace.
