Guide

Moving to Granada as a student

Granada is one of Spain's best-loved student cities - affordable, lively, and welcoming, with a large university and a huge international community.

This guide is for students and the parents supporting them from abroad.

Moving to Granada as a student

Accommodation options

  • Shared student flats - the most common and affordable option
  • Student residences - more structured, with meals and services
  • Homestays - good for language immersion and younger students
  • Studio apartments - more privacy at a higher cost

Budgeting as a student

Many students live comfortably on a modest budget thanks to low rents and cheap eating out. A realistic all-in monthly figure sharing a flat is roughly €700–€950.

Staying safe and avoiding scams

Rental scams target international students who pay deposits before verifying a property. Never pay before the property and landlord are confirmed, ideally with local help.

For parents

Parents supporting a child from abroad often want a local point of contact - someone who can check accommodation, help at move-in, and step in if something goes wrong. That is exactly what our student support is designed to provide.
