location

The Erasmo Residence Hall, is in the Campus of Cantoblanco. Located 15 kilometres north of the capital, with which it is well communicated by train and bus. In the campus you will find the Departments of Science, Humanities, Law, Business and Economy Studies, Psychology, the School of Advanced Computer Science and the Department of Teacher Training and Education.

How to get to the residence hall?

1. By airplane (from the airport of Barajas):
 The first option is to get a taxi that will take you straight from the airport to the residence hall. The cost will be of approximately 30 euros.
 For those who cannot afford this, one can take the underground train from any airport Terminal, line 8, and go straight to the Nuevos Ministerios station (at the cost of 2 euros, including the airport supplement). To consult timetables and maps, see the following link: http://www.metromadrid.es/

Once there, you will have to take the train (line C4) to the Cantoblanco-Universidad station. To consult timetables and maps, see the following link in point 3 (by train).

2. By bus: there are several buses to the campus, including the 714 ( Plaza de Castilla-Cantoblanco), 827 ( Canillejas-Alcobendas-Cantoblanco-Tres Cantos), 827A (San Sebastián de los Reyes-Alcobendas-Cantoblanco) and 828 ( Campo de las Naciones-Alcobendas-Cantoblanco). To consult timetables and routes, see the following link: http://www.emtmadrid.es/

All of these buses stop in front of the Rectorate, which is the building in the central part of Kant Street. From there, the easiest choice is to go through Freud St and at the end of this, the last perpendicular street crossing it is Erasmo de Rótterdam St. If you turn right in this street, you will find the residence hall 100 metres away.

3. By train: there is a train station at the UAM Campus called Cantoblanco-Universidad, where the C4 line pass. If you want to consult timetables, see http://www.renfe.es/cercanias/madrid/

The station is in the centre of Freud St, which means that, once you leave the station, you must turn left to that street and walk to the very end until you find Erasmo de Rótterdam St  (the last perpendicular street), and if you turn right, you will find the residence hall 100 metres away.
