accommodation
Students are presented with three different options they can choose based on their needs, desires and budgets. Students who wish to experience living in a community can choose academy residences that are fully equipped with WIFI, parking, gym and electricity. Furthermore, students are offered meals during their stay, which is between 6 to 12 months. By choosing this option, students can reside in a fully secure environment that gives them a fresh perspective about the Spanish culture and language as well as the customs of other countries. There are different types of rooms; shared, double and for those who prefer a more private stay, single. However, most of the bathrooms are shared between students. the cost of this type of residence varies based on the type of room students choose the level of privacy they desire and the amenities they wish to use. The monthly cost can range from € 700 to € 1200. Needless to say, students are required to follow somewhat firm rules regarding smoking, alcohol consumption and in some cases closing times of the dorms.
Students can also share a flat with other students and people. This is particularly ideal for those who wish to live with their family, wish to live with their own group of friends or those who have a limited budget, since this option is by far the most affordable of the three. Renting a room with flat mates may cost approximately € 400 a month. However, it must be mentioned that some of the flats may lack some amenities like internet and heat. Also, students are obliged to follow some common rules that have been laid out by the other residents of the flat.
Finally, students who value their privacy and independence above anything else, can solely take residence in rented flats. The monthly cost of this option can be nearly € 750. This way students can live by their own rules in their own personal space. However, they are obligated to follow the rules that are required for residing in the flat, which are mostly about smoking, drugs and alcohol. Students can experience a fully independent lifestyle and be in charge of their own affairs. They are required to do their own chores such as shopping, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and generally maintaining a house. It must be mentioned that those who choose this option must reside in the flats for at least six months, not less.
