What is it like to live in a residence hall in Barcelona?

29-03-2019

And if I come to study in Barcelona, should I choose to live in a student residence?

Living in a student residence in Barcelona will make you feel at home, in a relaxed and appropriate environment for university students. Our student residence in Barcelona offers an environment that invites you to maintain a discipline of study in one of the quietest neighbourhoods of the busy life of Barcelona.

It will complement your university or study centre, as well as your own home. Student residences are characterised by their clear focus on accommodating university students, with spaces that invite concentration and study, and in which living with other students allows you to resolve doubts, as well as share enriching experiences.

However, they also have spaces dedicated to leisure and relaxation where you can disconnect from long days of study.

The privileged location of a student residence, normally located near your university or study centre, but at the same time connected to the hustle and bustle and the most central neighbourhoods of the city, allows you to invest just enough time to move around Barcelona by public transport, and is a very important aspect when choosing your accommodation.

University residences are undoubtedly one of the best options to enjoy the university atmosphere and meet people, if you are new to Barcelona.

The rooms can be shared or individual and the student can stay on a full board basis and not have to worry about food or cleaning, as it is included in the monthly price.

Many students point out that the best thing about living in a student residence in Barcelona is that, at any time, you can consult with your classmates about a subject or ask for the notes of a class you have not been able to attend.

Of course, living in a student residence obliges you to comply with some rules of coexistence, especially with regard to meal times, cleanliness, noise, etc ... to be able to live in harmony with the rest of your classmates.

Barcelona Residences in a state-of-the-art student residence without renouncing the family character in order to feel at home.
