The university stage can be one of the most important in a person’s life as this stage is full of firsts, emotions and unique experiences.
When students embark on a new experience such as changing city, or even country, for their university studies, one of the most important moments comes up: choosing a good place to live during the university years.
For this reason, Unihabit halls of residence offer thousands of opportunities to become the best option. Our residences allow students to meet people from all over the world and create unique and special personal relationships, build incredible moments and experiences, etc.
What to do in a student residence: activities and events
During the academic year you will live two experiences, the student and the personal. Therefore, it is very important to nurture and take care of both.
A university residence hall is not only a place where you go to sleep and study, you also live and live with other people. It is a centre where you will be able to enjoy group activities, talks and share concerns with other residents. In this type of activities you will be able to entertain yourself and disconnect from the demands and responsibilities of everyday life, allowing you to carry out your studies with the greatest comfort and ease.
Here are some of the activities and events that you will be able to enjoy during your university stay at the student residence hall:
Take care of your health in the student residence with sporting activities
Sport is an essential element in the life of any university student, as it allows them to disconnect from their studies, oxygenate the brain and be mentally prepared to face all the proposed objectives.
Sport can be either in groups or individually, as in all our Unihabit residence halls, you will find a wide range of activities such as climbing, running, basketball, volleyball, among others.
Some of our residence halls also have their own gym for all residents.
A ‘must’: cultural and leisure activities
Culture is the engine of the world and living in Unihabit you will have the opportunity to live in cities full of art and leisure.
Barcelona, the cradle of Modernism, is the cosmopolitan city par excellence, with a multitude of museums and shows that you cannot miss. As well as a wide range of entertainment venues.
From Unihabit we encourage you to discover the city’s entertainment venues. There, you will be able to mingle with people and meet new people with whom you can live stories and create memorable memories for life. As you can see, you will be able to enjoy an infinite number of social activities near your university residence hall.
At Unihabit residence halls, you will always be informed about university parties or important events in the city. Enjoy this experience with your fellow students at the residence hall and discover special and incredible corners of the city!
Bring out your creative side and have fun with your colleagues
If you like handicrafts, doing pottery, painting or cooking workshops is a great way to spend time with your classmates, meet new people and disconnect from day-to-day obligations.
Also, if you are a lover of role-playing games, board games or video games, you can enjoy these hobbies and share them with other classmates who also like them.
Follow gastronomic routes and discover the wide range of restaurants in the city
Whichever residence hall you are going to stay in, all our residence halls are located in cities with a great gastronomic offer that you cannot miss.
If this is your first time living in Catalonia, you cannot miss out on trying typical dishes such as escudella i carn d’olla, an ideal dish for the coming winter months that mixes a broth soup with pasta, meat, pulses and cooked vegetables. Another very typical dish that you can try at any time of the year is pa amb tomàquet, with a drizzle of olive oil and salt accompanied by cold meats such as fuet, ham or cheese. Cannelloni, fideuà, or esqueixada de bacallà are other dishes that can be eaten in the winter months and are not to be missed. During the months of February-March, calçots are the ideal option for enjoying a good meal with your companions.
And if you want to try typical Catalan sweets, you can’t miss the Catalan custard or mató with honey.
