Hi guys!

First of all I would like to say that this site is really great.
I'll be taking a postgrad course at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in November, but I still don't have a place to stay. Any suggestions?
I am Brazilian, but I've got the EUROPEAN PASSPORT(Portuguese)...I guess it helps when looking for a jog, doesn't it? I've got a degree in English and some experience in the USA (courses). I've been teaching English for about 5 years here in Brazil.

I've got US$2,500 to spend 6 months in Madrid. Is that enough? That should be paying for food and accomodation. I do really need your opinions because I haven't got any idea how expensive life is in Madrid... Is 2,500 dollars enough for 6 months ( November - April ).

Please have you got any suggestions for accomodation around the Complutense de Madrid ?
What about food? How much does one usually spend on it a month?
What's the exchange rate US DOLLARS to EURO?

Hope to hear from you all.

Thanks a lot,
Alex
