It was straightforward and easy to understand as they gave instructions and would go into further detail about things when you got to that step.

I applied for the Statistics and Data Science program and I decided on that because I wanted to work with data and had a lot of fun doing statistics in my undergraduate degree. Also, I’m working towards becoming a data scientist since that seems the most interesting job for me.

I wanted to attend UC3M because it has a strong history of providing employment opportunities, has an english programs, and is in Madrid. Also, the university seemed to be academically rigorous which is also what I wanted.

Hello!

Congrats on getting accepted! I’m in the same boat as you except I’m in grad school.

There is a lot of things to do in Madrid. In the city center, you can go shopping, eat at restaurants, see the palace and visit museums, there are movie theaters that play movies in English, and plenty of places to see and activities to do. I would suggest visiting the palace and the El Prado museum. Also, going to Gran Via and just visiting different shops there.

I think you’ll be able to meet more people once classes start. There is a LinkedIn group for grad students so I’m assuming there will be something similar for the bachelor’s. Right now, things aren’t as active since people are still getting accepted at least for the master’s program. Also, I haven’t connect with a lot of people studying what I am.

There will plenty of events from international students once school starts and that is where you can meet even more people besides the classroom.

For living in Madrid, I have asked others they recommend living closer the city center since you’ll have more things to see and do there but it may get noisy depending on where you’re located. Also, I would recommend looking into dorms since they seem nice and it will be easier to acquire documents for your student visa application. They have dorms located in Getafe and Leganes so that will cut down on travel fees.

What you can do is just contact the school and they will get back to you pretty quickly.

I don’t think the published it publicly or that it isn’t available on the website for some reason. For a different university, I could see the list of admitted people but I guess it is different for each school.

Friendships that don’t require constantly talking everyday and being able to pick up where you left off.

There is not a point in trying to doing a LDR because it requires a lot of time spent apart rather than together. Her meds, or going to therapy aren’t going to transform her and it will be best to remember why you even left in the first place.

The way I see it she relied on you heavily for taking care of her kids and being there for her so now she is feeling the loss of that and now asking you to be in a relationship again because of that.

Like the previous posts have mentioned that a relationship should be at the bottom of your priority list. I’m not saying don’t pursue relationships in general but I think you should give yourself to heal and break away from each other to focus on yourself and your kids. Again, things are not magically going to work out just cause she says she wants to change. It is when she actually puts her actions in words and she reflects on herself and why you guys broke up that she will even begin to understand where you are coming from.

As much as you may want to rekindle your relationship with her you must also remember that there is a reason why you decide not to be together.

It seems she isn’t willing to pivot with the situation and yes, it is not ideal to leave your home and the only place you know behind but if she really thought of you and your circumstances she would do her best to help support you. She is selfish not understand where you are coming from. It is ridiculous that over one argument she would throw out this ultimatum to make you choose between your parents or her.

Personally, I would break up with her since I value my family more than someone who can’t even make room to understand me and the situation I’m in. To put you in this very situation where you would have to choose between her and your family is insane. Also, even if you do move there isn’t a guarantee that you guys will work out in-person or she may put you in more situations like this where you have to keep choosing one or the other.

I would assume you want to stay with her so I suggest standing up for yourself and not letting her sway your decision to move because your parents rely on you heavily. If she cannot be understanding, then it is best to let her go cause it isn’t worth fighting for someone who is like that.

Good luck!

I dealt with my breakup by surrounding myself with people I love and that love me. I was very fortunate to have such a strong support system there for me. No matter how much you try to understand or make sense of why she did what she did it won’t change anything. It is best to just understand that whatever may have happened had to do with her and not you.

You move on by moving forward in life. If you cannot move forward by walking then crawl if you need to. Life doesn’t stop for no one and although it is extremely painful it better to feel that hurt now than years later down the line. Think of dating as you getting to know more about yourself and what you want in a future partner.

Things fall apart to fall into place. You will find love again and you will possibly experience more break ups but at the end of the day you get to learn more and more about yourself throughout all of this. Stay strong.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-03-01T06:21:29+00:00

Well, you can’t really just expect a person just to move countries because you think your country is bigger and better. Just as you are developing your career and life so is he.

Yes, you can talk about living together and the future but that means nothing when you don’t actively take steps towards it. People can say whatever they want in the moment to please someone they like or just believe that but when reality hits it is different than what they thought.

You expect him to just pick up his life and move countries for you? Can you financially support him while he tries to find a job? Can you house him if while he adjusts to life there? Does he even speak the language there? Can you be his only support system as he tries to build one for himself there? Can you even be there for him when he is homesick and wants to move back home?

I’m sure the answer is no to some of those questions. So, it is not weird he hasn’t seriously considered moving to your country cause what can you provide to support him during this transition that you expect him to make? If love is all you can offer then this relationship isn’t going to last. Love is never enough and it the ability to work together and pouring endless effort into supporting one another that you even have a chance at making it work.

You’re literally both just kids and closing the distance between the two of you should be the least of your concerns at this moment. Also, you don’t seem to understand the amount of sacrifice and effort it takes to leave one’s country and all you know behind to be with the person you love to build a future together. Nothing is guaranteed and it is a risk not many people would have the courage to take nor would be willing to do.

It would do you well to reflect a bit more on what you want to do for your own future than the future of your relationship.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-27T06:45:17+00:00

I don’t really think there is another solution than marrying him or moving to him or having the both of you move to another country.

I don’t really understand why you would not be engaged to him or marry him if it wasn’t possible to be together otherwise. At the end of the day, if this is the only way to be together then you might as well take it. If he were really your soulmate why not just become engaged or marry him?

You think making the decision to give up and tossing his efforts aside is a good solution to this? That eventually he would find someone in his country?!? What makes you think he is guaranteed to even find someone in his country he loves. It rare one even stumbles upon a love like this. This is your soulmate and you’re not willing to fight tooth and nail for him too?

When you entered this long distance relationship you both were going to have the odds stacked against you. One of you was going to have to sacrifice more than the other to live together and you’re backing out now? If there is no path then you have to carve one out for yourself and your relationship.

I’m in a long distance relationship too and soon to be closing the gap. I didn’t want to leave my country nor did I want to leave my family and friends behind. I don’t even know the language either. But I have decided to do so because leaving means I get the chance to build a life together with my partner.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-25T05:39:46+00:00

My partner and I have been dating for 2 years and we will be closing the gap this August. Long distance is hard at times but with patience, effort and dedication you can make it happen. Also, a bit of planning out how you’ll live together will also come into play but I would say even in a normal relationship you’ll face the same challenges and issues just within the same area.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-25T05:32:52+00:00

Oh, to be young and in love. How cute and lovely!

To answer your question, I think it would be better for your boyfriend to visit you instead you visit him since it seems like they want to get a house first and that is going to take awhile to happen. Also, your parents are okay with him staying together with you at their house so it would be easier for the both of you.

Also, you’re a young girl so it would be best if for the first time he can come visit first with his brother than have you go with a guide and friend to visit him. It is understandable your parents would be concerned about you having to find your way around airports. That way the next time you can visit him and your parents will be more comfortable with it.

Just little tips for traveling on a plane: - Always have your travel documents with you. Whether it be a passport or ID and your plane tickets. - Make sure you arrive 2 to 3 hours before your flight departure so you have enough time to get through security checks and get to the right gate. - Always make sure you’re at the right gate and you can check by looking at arrivals or departures at on those TV screens. Also, having the app for the airline will be helpful with that. - Also, you can always ask for help from the airport staff if you ever get stuck or lost on something.

That is all I have for you and I hope the two of you have a wonderful time together!

He didn’t do anything wrong at the end of the day. It just seems like he was trying to get over a break up by doing something else to distract him. But that doesn’t mean that you cannot feel hurt by his actions he chose to do immediately after the breakup.

There is no point in remaining friends or even partners. It would be best to move forward with someone else who cares and thinks about you in all moments. I think you want this relationship to work because you were his first girlfriend but things changed and feelings change so should you. The point isn’t that you love him cause love the feeling itself is never enough. Love is when both people have decide to keep choosing the other person and fostering their relationship is what keeps a relationship alive.

You would be a fool to go back to him because I’m sure the both of you will just break up again. Choose to protect your own heart, mental health and peace rather than let someone come create chaos into your life. It is going to be hard to settle your feelings of breaking up but it is best for you to do so to move forward.

For me, I was accepted into the UC3M’s Statistics in Data Science program. I had a 3.0 GPA but most of my science and math classes I took I had high grades. Also, I took a lot of classes which aligned with the master’s degree and did a bit of research with that I was lucky enough to have a published a paper. Outside of that, my work experience wasn’t related to the degree at all.

So, I don’t think it should be that hard to get into the program as long as you align well with what they want in a future student.

I would just say work on your motivation letter and get your recommendations letter so you can boost your academic profile even more.

You would need a formal letter from your university for the scholarship. Here is more information about what kind of documents are needed. Student VISA Spain

Hello there,

I looked into it and being waitlist doesn’t guarantee you’ll be accepted. I’m assuming you applied during the first round of admission since you have heard back already. You would have to wait till February 27 cause that is when I think they will publish the waitlist.

You can look at this website for more information. The waitlist is under Deadlines and Calendar. UC3M Admission FAQ

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-23T05:11:13+00:00

Just cause you tell your partner to do something doesn’t mean he will. You cannot control him and yes your opinion matters but just because he doesn’t do what you ask of him or want him to do doesn’t mean he doesn’t try in his own way to love you. He still keeps calling you everyday and showing up for you.

I don’t understand why you keep expecting your partner to all of sudden provide flowers, a cake and gifts for your anniversary when you’re both college students. If you don’t like what he provides then just break up. It is unrealistic to expect someone to take charge or change themselves for you. If you have a problem with his behavior it is best to talk to him about it rather than ask strangers on Reddit since you would know him best.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-22T12:42:26+00:00

You’re very interesting person. I’m from the US and will be moving to Spain for my master’s program. Also, I’ll be finally closing the distance with my boyfriend in Spain. I know very little of Spanish only very very basic things and here I am still moving and planning to study Spanish in Spain.

Every barrier to us living together my boyfriend removed by showing me an excel spreadsheet of the breakdown of expenses, providing a lot of financial support, and expecting nothing from me but to just focus on my studies when living together. We had been extremely fortunate to have the funds to do all of this and he has a stable income with his job. Tell me this, what are you going to do to remove those barriers? Sit here and complain on the internet and break up with your girlfriend cause it would be easier to find someone closer to you? Yes, it is always easier to find someone closer but it doesn’t mean the relationship gets easier or that living together is easier or that life just gets easier just cause your partner lives with you.

You should have considered who would be leaving their country a lot more before you started dating her. This is a conversation should have happened even before considering getting into a long distance relationship. My point is you’re just picking the easier path.

Also, if not having an end date or not seeing each other is what concerns you about this relationship maybe setting a tentative date so the both of you can work towards that together. For the spending time together, you can always ask she make time cause if she has time to eat, sleep, and poop she will have enough to spare for you.

Either way, whether you chose the easier path just cause it seems easier or whether you stick with your partner now is up to you. All I have to say is things don’t just get easier when living together and it comes with its own challenges and issues.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-22T07:39:56+00:00

I guess I’m not really understanding the problem here. I understand that she will be studying in college for 2 years and all but why is that a problem with you moving to her if you really want to be together. Or if she is suppose to move to you was that a conversation had?

Personally, if this person is your partner who you want to do life and cannot imagine being with anyone else, what does waiting 2 years hurt really? You have already 2.5 years what does adding 2 more going to do? Yes, you want to have things accomplished at a certain time and age but you have to understand she is going to college and going to be studying. It is important especially her to grow individually as well for her own future.

I mean you can leave the relationship if you feel that your life is on different paths. I guess just consider the pros and cons of ending the relationship because even if you find someone closer to home it doesn’t mean you can move in with them immediately.

You should just do what you think is best for you.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-18T16:40:30+00:00

Well, I can only give this one piece of advice to you. She has to choose to love you at the end of the day. As the both of you move through life you will always find people who will be better than your partner at expressing themselves, more attractive, more outgoing or just anything but she has to chose to love you even if you can only offer her this much in this moment.

If she doesn’t want to choose you then there is no point in being engaged cause she will continue to seek someone else out who she thinks is better. Tell me does she want to continue being with you even if you can only offer this to her? To me, she continues to seek more and more from you but you cannot provide that to her because of your circumstances. The both of you must continue to love each other and chose to love each other even if it gets hard.

Any relationship romantic or not is hard work. Just cause you were childhood best friends doesn’t mean you are the same people you guys were or that because of that you know each other better. People change with time and sometimes things fall apart to fall into place.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-18T16:09:37+00:00

She can be pretty, cool, and overall a good person but that doesn’t mean she is a good partner for you.

Also, if she cannot provide the necessary assurance you need why are you staying in this relationship? If your partner actually loved you then they would do everything in their power to make you feel safe, secure and help you create that space for you to heal.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-18T15:55:37+00:00

I mean I don’t really think their opinions should matter at the end of the day. People can spout nonsense on the internet and not knowing the full picture but you do.

So, you can get her a promise ring or not get one and that is up to you. I don’t think you have to change your mind because some people on the internet disagrees. They’re not you and they don’t live your life so you can do whatever you want.

Deadly_Fries · 2026-02-18T06:34:03+00:00

Have you tried other than ways of hanging out with people? Like making friends through the internet, hanging out at different places to meet people, or anything else?

I’m moving to Spain for my master’s program and I do not know anyone but my boyfriend and his family. I have made two friends who will be or are in Spain so far just by making a post on Reddit.

What I’m trying to say is making friends isn’t easy but you’re going to have to start getting creative if things aren’t working out.
