Accomodation Guide
Barcelona is a big and cosmopolitan city. Such a place offers a great number of different kinds of accommodations, from hostels to students’ residences, shared flats, and so on. The kind of accommodation you choose will depend on your budget and preferences.
C3S Business School Barcelona can provide you with information and contacts to help you find safe and affordable accommodation where you will feel at home. We can also arrange accommodation for your first days in Barcelona in order for you to be able to look for a place to rent when you reach Barcelona. Please kindly inform the admissions department in advance if you require this service.
The Search
Regarding the search for accommodation, it is a pleasure for us to share some tips with you. First things first, we recommend starting searching early enough. You need to consider that: If you are an international student, you will need about two months to find accommodation. If you are a Spanish student, it will take you around three weeks. As a student, you have several ways to find accommodation, such as:
- Searching for accommodation in a dormitory or students’ residency.
- Search for a room in a shared flat or an apartment through online agencies.
- Search for a room through the city council website.
Below you will find a list of contacts to help you through the process.
