Residencia Universitaria Emperador Carlos V

At Residencia Universitaria Emperador Carlos V, you’re living in a province that enjoys 320 days of sunshine a year, so you’ll have loads of opportunities to explore at weekends. Your student accommodation is an easy stroll from the historic centre of Granada, where you can visit the magnificent Alhambra fort. Wander cobbled streets, then stop for a traditional Spanish tapas lunch at El Bar de Fede. In the evening, walk up to Sacromonte and join other students to marvel at the view as the sun sets. By night, head back into town and dance to live music at cool student hangout, Sala Plantabaja.

From Residencia Universitaria Emperador Carlos V, you’re surrounded by University of Granada faculties. Start your day with a workout in the on-site gym, freshening up afterwards in your fully equipped bathroom. You’re on the Universidad de Granada Campus Universitario de Cartuja, so classes and the library are between five and 10 minutes’ walk away.

When you’re done on campus, grab yourself a snack from the vending machine and head back to your studio to spread your textbooks out on your spacious desk. There’s free high-speed internet, so you can make a start on researching your next essay. If you’d rather work away from your own room, there are quiet study rooms you can use instead.

If you need a break from the books, head to the games room and hang out with your friends. On sunny evenings, relax with mates on the outdoor terrace. Alternatively, head out for drinks at a nearby bar like Magic Granada, just 15 minutes’ walk from home.

You won’t have to worry about cooking when you’re busy with university work during the week, as there’s an on-site canteen where you can join your neighbours for a healthy meal at breakfast, lunch and dinner time – choose between half-board and full-board rent options. Even better, there are loads of organised activities for residents, from workshops to parties, so you’ll never be short of things to do with your new friends.
