LS HOUSING IN MADRID

By Joshua Berlinger
Tufts University

The legal studies apartment has been absolutely wonderful.  The apartment is very spacious for Spain, with a large living room/den, and a kitchen that is interestingly divided with a wall between the stove, dishwasher/sink area and where we store food.  My room is located right off the kitchen, which I have gotten used to.  I traded a smaller room for a private bathroom, which I love.  Sarah and Charlotte, my roommates, both have big rooms on the other side of the apartment, next to Sabela’s, the apartment RA.  Although we have very different schedules, we try and have dinner together a couple times a week.  At first, the conversation was pretty simple.  Our Spanish wasn’t as progressed and we weren’t as comfortable with each other.  But our dinners together are some of my favorite times.  I really feel Spanish, we sit at the table for a longer time than normal over David’s delicious food and a bottle of Tinto de Verano, and just chat, laugh, and have a good time together.  Sarah, Charlotte, and I have gotten extremely close living together.  We’re all starting to notice our weird idiosyncrasies come out in front of each other.  All in all, its been a perfect balance of independence and guidance.  We basically all live on our own, but still get plenty of food prepared for us and still have someone to ask about advice about the city
