Housing

You can live in any type of housing in an area that best suits your interests and lifestyle. Finding an apartment, homestay, or residence hall, comparing features, costs, and amenities then getting to know your Barcelona neighborhood is all part of the study abroad experience. You can choose to live in the Vila Universitaria on the UAB campus, or you can live within the Barcelona city limits and commute to Bellaterra for classes. The study center provides housing resources to help you make all of your arrangements before arrival.
