The Universidad Autonoma De Madrid in Madrid is cheaper than all 1,845 colleges and universities in the US? If it's affordable and you like the University, what is there to discuss? :smile:

Are you fluent in Spanish? Really fluent - enough to handle complex ideas like you will get in a physics class?
