Dr. Jose Rizal was in Madrid on the first week of September 1882, enrolling at the Universidad Central de Madrid (now Universidad Complutense de Madrid) in medicine as well as painting at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando along Alcala Street. He mentioned enrolling at Facultad de Derecho, but later changed his mind and shifted to Philosophy and Letters (Filisofia y Letras) which he finished in June 1885 with highest honors. The University has since moved to a new campus at the Ciudad Universitaria district of Madrid, a few kilometers away from the city center. During his stay, he lived in at least nine boarding houses, hostels or residences from 1882-1885. He found it convenient to live in central Madrid to economize and to save from transportation cost (the money he saved was spent for books and utilities). His frequent domicile movement was to continue to find cheaper dormitories to save money for rent and making it sure that these homes were in proximity to school campuses with tranquil environment so he can have undisturbed evening studies and writing. He bought lottery tickets, visited libraries, parks and watched operas.
