Student Accommodation

To help you find and book accommodation we charge a one time fee of 90Eur.

This is a service offered independent of the programs and we cannot be held responsable for any accommodation service that might not meet the needs of the students. We therefore encourage students to find accomodation on their own.

You can select between a room in a shared flat, or a room with a Spanish host family.

You will receive full information by email about the accommodation booked about 10 days before your arrival.
This information includes exact address, contact details of the owner and full information about the price, what is included and deposit needed.

Upon your arrival the monthly rent and deposit is paid directly to the owner.

Apart from the 90Eur fee charged for finding the accommodation you will also be asked to pay 100Eur within the full payment which we will pay directly to the owners when making the reservation (the 100Eur will be deducted in the first months rent or the deposit).

If you upon arrival decide to cancel the accommodation you will not be entitled to any refund of the 90Eur paid to find you accommodation and the landlords will not refund the 100Eur paid the reservation.

We are not responsable for any problem that might occur during your stayed, it must be dealt with the landlord or landlady.

Shared Student Flats
In a shared student flat you'll be living with other international students. You'll have a private bedroom and will have to share a bathroom and kitchen. Typically, flats include a living room with a TV and dining space, although this sometimes forms part of the kitchen. Keep in mind that shared student flats constitute an economical solution and, while never below a basic standard, don't offer the level of comfort and quality some people are accustomed to.

Flats are located in the city centre, within a 15 to 20 minute walk to the University.

The price for a room in a shared flat ranges from 300-350Eur per month plus costs (approx. 20-30Eur per month). From October to the end of May student flats are only available for a minimum of 4 month (one semester) whereas during the summer months rooms are rented on a monthly basis.

 

Spanish Host Families
If you are looking to practise your Spanish as much as possible a Spanish host family is the best option. A standard Spanish family does normally not speak any foreign language and you will therefore have to practice your Spanish all time at the house. This is also a good way to learn more about the Spanish customs and culture.


Spanish host families does very often consist of elderly people which no longer have their children living at home and therefore have extra space. It is also quiet normal that a family will be hosting other students as well (about 1-3 students at a time).


The price for a room with a Spanish family including half board (breakfast and lunch or dinner) range from 570-630Eur. Some families charge a plus for washing your clothes. Rooms with families are rented for a minimum of one month.
