Student Blogs
Owen O'Riordan's Madrid Blog — Spring 2010
"I did get some quick pictures of the Metro, which is one of my favorite parts of Madrid so far. Don’t get me wrong, I love the history, the food, and the people but I do appreciate a well run, efficient and clean mass transit system."
Marquette en Madrid Student Blog — Spring 2009
"Most madrileños live in apartments, where space is valuable. Kitchens and kitchen appliances seem minuscule by American standards. And they also seem older. Those 70s style avocado or mustard-colored appliances that are so passé back home still lurk around Europe. Why? Because they still work."
