Universidad de Granada (UGR)

Living in a flat was great but at times it was struggle to keep warm. The only negative aspect of the housing were the way in which they were built. The flooring in Spanish flats and houses are made up of tiles, which ideally keeps the house quite cool in the summer months. However, many do not know but, Granada gets very cold in the winter and for that reason the house was freezing. There were no heaters which made it unbearable at times.

The university provides a housing service with a list of names and addresses you can contac. There are many flat adverts in phone boxes and all around the city as well. Better not to turn for help at the locale estate agent,...much more expensive!

I can not evaluate housing at the university of Granada, because I have no personal experience with that. My impression was that it is better to look for a room in a shared flat or family.

I was expecting the family to be more interested in me and my culture but I felt more like I was a boarder and they had me for the money

Well Basicaly I have no idea. I have the chance that I know very well the city of Granada so that why I rented an apartement with some friends that they were living already in Granada

Universidad de Granada did offer some kind of housing in student dorms, but it was very expensive and also majority of people just searched for a room/apartment by themselves. Finding place on my own was also much cheaper and I could find very nice location.
