Living and studying in Girona is a unique experience for many university students. Girona stands out for its rich cultural heritage, its medieval architecture and its warm atmosphere, both in summer and winter. In this blog we tell you why living and studying in Girona will be the best option during your time at university.
Girona: an attraction for university students
The city’s history and vibrant culture make it the perfect place for many students who choose to pursue their university degree. For many students, the city provides the perfect balance between a traditional and modern city, where they can concentrate on their studies but also enjoy an active social life.
From a wide variety of cultural events to festivals and festivities that fill the academic and yearly calendar, students can enjoy their time here. This allows students to enjoy their university life during their free time, weekends, holidays, etc.
Study in Girona: Discover the Montilivi Campus
The University of Girona is characterised by its wide selection of university degrees, including Science, Biology and Biotechnology, Chemistry, Tourism, Geography, History and Art History, Engineering, Law and Economics, etc.
It is also located on the Montilivi Campus, which stands out for its modern facilities such as study spaces, laboratories, libraries and recreational areas for students to unwind.
Why study in Girona?
There are several reasons why studying in Girona is the best option for many students:
- Quality education. The city offers a high quality academic offer.
- Access to activities. Whether they are cultural, sporting or recreational activities, students will be able to disconnect from their studies, practice sports in the open air, meet other students, etc.
- Quality of life. The Mediterranean climate and its location also make it the ideal city for many students who enjoy the outdoors and nature, without neglecting the needs that a city requires in terms of commerce and restaurants.
- Multicultural and friendly environment. Girona is ideal for international and national students, due to its proximity to Barcelona and the French border. This allows students to get to know and enjoy unique experiences.
- Privileged location. The city has a great public transport network that allows students to move around easily both within the city and outside. In addition, the entire coast of Girona (Costa Brava) offers incredible beaches with crystal clear waters, fishing villages, and a great list of beautiful places.
- Job opportunities. The city is very active in terms of job offers and internship programmes between the University of Girona and other institutions. This helps students’ careers to connect with the world of work and gain practical experience.
Benefits of living on the Montilivi Campus
Living in our university residence Unihabit Girona offers a great advantage: living near the Montilivi campus. This becomes a great convenience for students to avoid long journeys and save time and money. By living on campus, students can organise their time and make the most of resources such as study areas or green areas for sports.
On the other hand, students will be able to create a great coexistence among themselves, creating new friendships and support networks, with whom they will share the rest of their university degree. Moreover, during their stay on campus they will be able to carry out a wide range of activities both on and off campus.
The campus also offers a safe and quiet environment, which will provide a pleasant place to study during exam periods and to relax after classes.
