Welcome to Madrid

Colegio Mayor Isabel de España opened its doors in 1956 and was a women’s residence hall for many years. Since the academic year 2000-2001, men are also admitted. Attached to Universidad Complutense, its purpose is to achieve a comprehensive education of resident students through complementary educational activities like lectures, courses, seminars and the creation of cultural artistic and sports groups. It is located in the University area, in the centre of the student residential area.

The residence is structured in 10 communities of 16 students each. All rooms are single with breakfast, lunch and dinner included, except Sunday’s breakfast and dinner.
