Residencia Universitaria Hipatia

When you’re not relaxing in your student accommodation, spend time exploring your new neighbourhood. Discover Terrassa’s strong connection to the region’s textile industry at Catalonia Science and Technology Museum, then spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing in Parc de Vallparadís. Admire the medieval architecture of the park’s churches of Sant Pere, go punting across the lake, or get front row seats to the city’s legendary Jazz Festival in March. In the evening, share traditional tapas with friends at La Venta, before catching a play or a concert at Centro Cultural Terrassa.

Whether you opt for a private apartment or one shared with a friend, your living quarters at Residencia Universitaria Hipatia will come fully furnished – making your move to Terrassa as easy as possible. Wake up in your comfy bed, choose an outfit from the wardrobe, then pick up your books from your bedroom desk. Walk four minutes to Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña’s Terrassa campus, and stop for an espresso and a freshly made sandwich at Cafetería Atlas on the way.

On weekends, walk two minutes to Valparadís Universitat station for the train ride into Barcelona, then come home to your air-conditioned apartment. Refuel after a busy day with a snack in your full kitchen, then use the Wi-Fi to email home with stories of your latest adventures. If you’ve got an assignment due, work on a group project with friends in the study room, before clearing your head with a workout in the on-site gym. Afterwards, treat yourself to an indulgent soak in your private bathroom, before throwing your dirty clothes in the laundry.

With a room cleaning service and a regular linen change included in your rent, keeping on top of the housework couldn’t be easier – leaving you with more time to have fun. Call up your friends on the in-room telephone and invite them over for a movie marathon in the TV room, or for a gaming session in the rec room. If you’re keen for a night out, get dressed up for cocktails and dancing at nearby nightspot the Velcro Club instead.
