5 Tips for staying in a student residence

Are you looking for a student residence in Barcelona for this year? Here are 5 tips to help you decide which option is best for you:

When you start university in a new city, it is important to choose accommodation that makes you feel at home.

Student residences become the most popular option for students who arrive in Barcelona during their first year at university, not only because they can be the cheapest option, but also because they ensure a family atmosphere that is suitable for study.

The process of adapting to this new university stage is not easy, especially for those who, in addition to the nervousness of starting university, arrive from other cities and have to move to start a new life in a new city.

• Location: Finding a university residence near your university or study centre is important when it comes to saving time on your daily trips. However, Barcelona is a very accessible city with very good communication by public transport.
• Single rooms: for many students it is important to feel at home, but it is equally important to maintain their privacy, so the single rooms in our student residence in Barcelona are the first to be booked.
• Private bathroom: if your budget does not allow you to reserve a single room, there are double rooms with private bathroom so that, at least, in this space you can keep your privacy.
• Own kitchen: when you leave behind the family home where you probably did not have to cook, you are faced with an unusual task, but on which your health depends. Maintaining a balanced diet in a decisive year is very important, which is why in our student residence in Barcelona, breakfast, lunch and dinner are included throughout the week, with the possibility of extending it to the weekend. And if the timetable of your classes does not allow you to have lunch or dinner at the residence hall, there is the option of requesting lunch or dinner to take away.
• Security: now that you no longer live in your parents' house, feeling safe in your new home and in a city that is not yours, is fundamental for many students who choose a student residence with a doorman who watches over the security and order of the students.

When choosing a student residence in Barcelona, don't forget to ask if the internet connection is free; in Barcelona Residences is included in the price and you can connect via wifi or cable, ¡as you prefer!
