Hey,
Like many high school seniors here, I am strongly considerring attending SLU Madrid. I am from the United States and speak good Spanish. I studied in Costa Rica for a month too.I have been accepted as a permanent student but have a few questions.

1. How hard is it for an American to get intigrated into Spanish culture?

2. What is the aproximate cost for using the metro?

3. How are the extra curricular activities? I am currently involved in theatre and want to continue that. I see on the site that they have a program but how is it?

4. This is one of my parents’ biggest concerns: If i enroll and don’t like it(which I think I will but humor me), what is it like to transfer? I would prefer not to go to Saint Louis, so is it easy? Do the credits transfer?

5. How easy is it to get a work grand and/or a job in Spain? My parents will pay for most of the tuition but I have to pay for travel, food, clothing etc… So I would prefer a little extra income to pay for fun and travel.

Thank You so much for any input you can give me! It’s a big descision that I am really stuggling with and literally any info from someone that’s been there or is there now helps a ton!
