Either by taking a short walk, by bicycle, or by bus or metro, the travel options are so many that you can comfortably reach your university from the residence hall.

One of the closest universities is the Facultat de Ciències de la Salut Blanquerna-URL, which is just a 10-minute walk away. Also very close to the residence, is the UAB University School of Nursing, which is next to the Sant Pau Modernist Campus.

As the Sagrada Familia metro stop (L2) is located in front of the residence, it is very easy to get to the University of Barcelona, ​​since it only takes 10 minutes by metro. At the same distance and with the same L2, you can reach the UPF Faculty of Communication, which is very close to the Clot stop.

If you study in the University Zone you can walk up the diagonal and catch a bus to get to your university in a matter of minutes. And if your university is in the upper area, or in Sant Cugat, you can travel by metro to the Diagonal stop and then by rail to your university. Simple as that!
