  Many students from all over the world are curious about what makes studying abroad in Madrid so unique.

  If you are unfamiliar with Spanish cities and culture, you may be perplexed as to why so many international students are applying to study in Madrid, but we are here to tell you that there are numerous reasons to study abroad in this diverse, vibrant city.

  Here are just a few of the many reasons why you should study in Madrid, Spain's capital!

  The entrance to Spain: What better place to begin in Spain than the capital, the country's largest city and political center? This is where the action is, on noisy terrazas where politics, finance, and culture collide. Within a few blocks, you can experience both grandeur and grit. Madrid attracts people and goods from all over the country, giving visitors a taste of every region of Spain - literally, in its countless restaurants and food markets. And being in the geographic center of the country - Spain's national highways branch out in all directions from 'kilometer zero' in Puerta del Sol - makes Madrid an ideal base for further exploring this diverse country.

  A cosmopolitan center: Speaking of diversity, Madrid also has a thriving international community, including a large number of international students. Studying here allows you to meet people from all over the world and share experiences with them (along with plenty of madrilenos, of course).

  Life is good: Madrid frequently appears on lists of the best European cities to live in, and if you come to study, you'll quickly see why. Apart from the excellent student accommodation Madrid architecture, museums, food, and nightlife, the locals know how to live. It's also safe, easy to navigate, and relatively inexpensive: Madrid is ranked 67th in Mercer's 2021 cost of living index, far behind other European capitals such as London (18th), Dublin (39th), Amsterdam (44th), and Brussels (57th) (53rd).

  World-class culture: Few cities in the world can compete with Madrid in terms of history, art, and culture. Whether it's admiring Goya and Picasso masterpieces in The Prado and Reina Sofa museums (free for students at certain times!), marveling at the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor, or delving into the city's more modern and underground scenes, cultural activities abound in Madrid.

  Top universities: If you want to study at a Spanish university, Madrid is home to some of the best in the country and Europe. The Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) and the Complutense University of Madrid are the top-ranked universities in the city. Still, there are dozens of other prestigious public and private universities in the city that offer thousands of undergraduate and master's degrees.

  A city that never sleeps: Late-night socializing is popular in Spain, and Madrid takes it to the next level. Night owls can party with the locals until sunrise - or later - and there are bars and nightclubs for every taste. The afternoon siesta is the antidote to all of this after-dark energy. While central Madrid does not completely shut down like other parts of Spain, you can use the post-lunch lull to recharge your batteries.
