Moncloa-Aravaca Image V2

Moncloa-Aravaca

 

If it's convenience you're looking for, you can't do better than Moncloa-Aravaca. This leafy district northwest of the city centre is home to Ciudad Universitaria — Madrid's university hub — the sprawling Casa del Campo and a huge array of student-friendly amenities.

Our Galdós and Emilia Pardo Bazán residences are both based in Ciudad Universitaria, providing unrivalled access to two of the city's top universities in UCM and UPM. El Faro is in nearby Moncloa, another student hotspot with fantastic links to the city centre.

Malasaña

 

Madrid's hipster hotspot, Malasaña, has long been a favourite of students. It's packed with trendy coffee shops, vintage clothing stores, independent art galleries and quirky bars where you can dance until the early hours.

Our Maravillas residence puts you right in the heart of the neighhourhood and all its infectious energy. Gran Vía and Comillas Pontifical University are both within walking distance, while Ciudad Universitaria and the city centre are less than 20 minutes away.

Chamberi Image V2

Chamberí

 

Home to our Claraval residence, Chamberí offer the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. This iconic district is brimming with historic charm and still retains a traditional neighbourhood feel — think local cafes, family-run tapas bars and vibrant plaza life.

But that's not all. The area also has a lively nightlife scene with bars and nightclubs drawing large student crowds. You're also within walking distance of Ciudad Universitaria — meaning easy access to UCM and UPM — and are just a short hop on the metro away from the city centre.

Explore Claraval
Chamartin Image V2

Chamartín

 

Upscale Chamartín, home to our Nuevo Norte residence, offers the best of both worlds — a calm, residential vibe away from the hustle and bustle, with excellent transport links to the city centre for shopping, museum visits and nights out.

There's plenty to do in the area itself, whether that's a stroll along the Paseo de la Castellana or catching a football game at the iconic Bernabéu Stadium. IE University and UAM's Medical Faculty are also conveniently placed close by.

Villaviciosa de Odon Image V2

Villaviciosa de Odón

 

A true gem nestled about 15km west of Madrid's city centre, Villaviciosa de Odón has built a reputation as a university town and is home to the European University's Madrid Campus — so if you're going to be based here, there's no better place to be!

Our Coliseo Europea residence is just a short walk to the university, while it's also a 30-minute drive to the centre of Madrid. There's more than enough to keep you occupied in the town, though, which has lots of shops, bars and restaurants catering to the student crowd.
