Accommodation

Santander is a tourist city in the summer and offers a wide variety of flats for rent in the private sector, while the availability of places in University Halls of Residence, either public or private, is rather more limited.

The International Relations Office does not accept responsibility for finding accommodation during the summer months (July, August and 1-15 September). It should also be borne in mind that there is a much greater selection of accommodation on offer in the first semester than in the second one.

To book accommodation, the corresponding form, available on its Web page, should be sent to the ORI, clearly marking the preferred option among the ones available: shared flats with other students, University hall of Residence or staying with a family.

IMPORTANT: The ORI provides the necessary information to the student in order to contact with the person or service in charge of the accommodation. However, the student will be responsible for completing the procedures for renting the flat, for which purpose there is information available at the International Relations Office.

It is possible to choose from the following options:

Private flats shared with other students

The most popular and affordable type of accommodation is sharing a rented flat with other students, either Spanish or foreign. The monthly cost per person is around € 150-180, without including utilities. In most cases, a deposit must be paid on signing the contract, and is usually equivalent to a month’s rent. This deposit is not returnable if the tenant leaves the flat before the end of the contract. Flats are furnished (beds, tables, chairs and full kitchen), but usually they do not have either bed linen or towels, which must be provided by the student. It is necessary to contact the landlord in order to get more detailed information.

The Students’ Council (CEUC) Housing list

The CEUC has its own housing list. A database of available flats and the contact details of the different owners are available on its Web page. It is the student’s responsibility to make any arrangements via telephone with the landlord.

Staying with a Family

Students may live with a Spanish family, usually with full board (single room and three meals). The price may vary from 20 to 30 € per day.

 

The Office for Solidarity and Volunteering manages the programme known as “sharing accommodation”. This option offers the student the possibility of sharing an apartment with elderly people at a much reduced price in return of the student helping with some housework.
