Universidad de Oviedo (UNIOVI)

my apartement was in the center of the city very close to the beach, which offered you a lot of possibilities to arrange your freetime outdoors. i´m very glad that i didn´t choose the opportunity to live with other germans because that isolates you a bit from the place where you actually are and the unique possibility to get a deeper idea of what the real life with all its customs and habits typical for this country is.

I am not sure about the University accomodation as I decided to find a flat locally. However, the reason I chose to find a flat was because I thought the university accomodation was very expensive.

You have to arrange your accomodation yourself, but the university can offer assistance in finding one. They have some offers at the International Relations Office in the centre. But a lot of them are outdated or have other disadvantages, like location, costs etc. At the end it was not that difficult to find a decent place to live.

University offers a room in student dormitory, but it i svery expensive and nobody wants to overpay. All international students live in "piso estudiante" - one apartment shared with 2-3 roommates.

The international office may help you with phone numbers to people subletting rooms/flats. It is no guarantee, but it helps a lot.

It's a shame that the university didn't help the Erasmus students at all to find a flat or a way to house.
