Believe it or not, I do actually take classes, and getting to school is somewhat of a production. La Universidad de Carlos III in Getafe is about a 50-minute commute from my house.
I first walk (about nine minutes) from my apartment to a nearby metro stop. After waiting for the Metro, which usually comes every three to five minutes, I head to Sol where I pick up the Renfe, a commuter train.
The trip on the Renfe from Sol to Las Margaritas (my university stop) usually takes about 20 minutes - on a good day. However, the line, although new, is somewhat temperamental and sometimes decides to stop randomly for extended periods of time.
Once arriving at Las Margaritas, I have a pretty visually-unappealing eight minute walk to the school campus. [There is also a bus / metro route that I can take, but I personally prefer the walk / train combo.]
The University campus has about 20 buildings, two cafeterias, multiple libraries, and several courtyards (but it pales in comparison to Vassar)!
