Choose a Residence Close to Your University
Moving to another city to start a university degree can be an exciting challenge. That’s why student residences are often a great option, thanks to their proximity to different university campuses or institutions.
This is one of the most important factors when choosing a university residence, as it will not only save you commuting time but also give you more time to study, exercise, enjoy your hobbies, or rest after a long day of classes.
It’s not just about proximity; it’s also important that the residence is well connected to public transportation such as buses, metro, trains, or other options.
Unihabit university residences are located on various university campuses, such as the Unihabit Girona residence at the Montilivi Campus, the Sant Cugat residence at the ETSAV Campus, or the Unihabit Manresa residence at the UManresa Campus, near UPC EPSEM. The university residences in Barcelona are situated in the heart of the city, close to several faculties and educational centers, with excellent connections to the city’s public transport network.
Check the services offered by the residence
Another fundamental factor when choosing a university residence is the services it offers, such as cleaning, laundry, kitchen-dining area, Wi-Fi, study areas, gym, etc. It is important to gather detailed information about the different services before making a final decision. Evaluate your needs and choose the best option that suits them.

Does the residence offer a good environment with other students?
