Living in Madrid

Madrilenos are justifiably proud. Much more than a place to learn or perfect Spanish, Madrid is a modern political, cultural, and financial center. Here, people have managed to preserve the old while embracing the new, keeping alive small-town traditions alongside cosmopolitan cultural events and a world-famous nightlife scene. The city is now enjoying its latest renaissance with numerous restored historic buildings and an abundance of well-maintained parks and public squares.

Housing and Accommodations

Syracuse Abroad offers a residence hall housing option for students participating in the Syracuse Madrid program.  Syracuse Madrid will reserve a block of rooms with two occupants per room. This option is especially interesting for students looking for a different kind of cultural experience.  Here, students will have the opportunity to interact with Spanish university students and participate in sports and activities organized by the residence hall staff.

Homestays are another option. Students generally feel that the homestay is one of the most enriching parts of their study abroad experience. With the help of locals, students make a much smoother transition when trying to adapt to a new environment. If you come to Madrid with an open mind and a willingness to learn a new culture, you’ll have an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.

For more information about homestays and the residence hall, please visit the Housing page.

Academics

Located in the heart of the city, the venerable Instituto Internacional is the home of SU Madrid. This historic building features wide staircases and gracious rooms, a library, and a café. Exciting courses, some taught in Spanish and some in English, give students an intellectual understanding of Spain and Spanish culture. The academic palette covers a breadth of fields: arts and sciences, communications and film, management and international business, and Spanish language and literature, as well as LGBT and women’s and gender studies. Advanced Spanish language students may also take liberal arts courses at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and students with a background in business have the opportunity to take courses at IE University.

Please visit the Academic Programs page for more details about semester course options.
