CEU San Pablo University has three campuses: the Moncloa Campus sits beside Madrid’s Ciudad Universitaria in Vallehermoso, the Creativity Campus is slightly further south in Argüelles, while the Montepríncipe Campus is located around 15km west of central Madrid.
CEU San Pablo students generally have four options: private residences like Yugo that are designed around student life, shared apartments rented from private landlords, university-affiliated residence halls like Colegio Mayor Universitario San Pablo and homestays with local families.
For the Moncloa and Creativity campuses, neighbourhoods like Ciudad Universitaria, Arapiles and Malasaña are always popular with students and close enough to walk to campus. Ciudad Universitaria is also a handy base for the Montepríncipe Campus, as it’s near where the university’s shuttle service departs.
Costs depend on the type of accommodation and neighbourhood. Shared apartments are typically priced at €500–€1,000 a month with bills usually costing extra. University-affiliated residence halls tend to run from €1,000–€1,500, while private student residences range from €1,000–€1,750+ but come with premium amenities and bills included.
Aim to book by May or June for a September start, as this is when demand peaks. University residence halls often open for applications even earlier, while private student residences tend to be more flexible and offer short-term bookings. Once your place at CEU San Pablo is confirmed, book as early as you can.
