students.
If you wish to open a bank account in Spain, you will find two
bank offices on campus: Caja Madrid and Banco Santander. They
will require from you a certificate that proofs you are a student at
UC3M (you will get it from the SERINT).
We do not manage housing for the international students.
Therefore, you will have to find it by yourself. UC3M has a nice
webpage to help students find a place to live in. Here it is:

modation/conditions
If you decide to stay in a hotel during your first days in Madrid,
so that you can see some rooms and then choose, you will also
find many accommodation offers in the Cafeteria and around the
Housing/ Insurance / health costs Campus that Spanish students hang on the walls when they have
free rooms in their apartments.
You have several options: Living in Getafe or Leganés (where
most exchange students attend to classes) or live in Madrid.
Living close to the campus is normally a cheaper option, and you
will live in a very calm place. But in Madrid, though you have to
come to Campus by train (about 20 minutes ride from the city
centre), you will be in the middle of an active city, with a lot of
party, stores, bars, good food and many cultural activities. Most
of exchange students choose to live in Madrid.
