You’re here, ready to make the most of Madrid, to discover everything it has to offer, to ace your courses, to pass everything, but first tell us: where are you going to live?

After the initial excitement fades, the big question pops into your mind, and it won’t go away until you answer it. And that’s normal; in Madrid, you have to think fast and act even faster.

So, from our humble perspective, we’re sharing the reasons why a student residence is the best option for your experience in Madrid.

Advantages of living in a student residence in Madrid compared to a private or shared apartment

We’re so excited for Madrid, so eager to have a great time, and so keen to make the most of every minute you spend here with us in Madrid.

And for that, student residences have the perfect plan for you, so you can forget about many aspects that could give you headaches if you chose to stay in a private apartment, whether shared or for yourself.

Location in a student residence in Madrid

Let’s start with the most obvious thing: location. Student residences are almost always located in strategic points of the city. This means you’ll be living in the heart of the city—in this case, Madrid, no less.

This central location translates into nothing but advantages; from saving on transportation, since you can walk to most of the places you need to visit, to saving time, as you won’t need to spend so much time getting from point A to point B.

So the first major advantage is clear: proximity and savings in time and money. That’s not bad at all. Think about all the trips you’ll make every day: university, libraries, gym, bars, cafes, nightclubs, main monuments, you’ll have everything at hand. And as a bonus, you’ll be able to sleep in.

This will almost certainly be your first experience living alone, and you’ll be able to do so with a certain degree of peace of mind and security. You’ll feel that sense of freedom to do as you please, but you’ll also have the peace of mind of knowing you’ll never be completely alone should you need any help.

Security in a student residence in Madrid

And speaking of security, remember that student residences have 24-hour security, as well as staff support and constant video surveillance, so both you and your family will have much greater peace of mind.

In terms of finances, student residences are once again more advantageous than living in a private apartment, as your expenses will be much more controlled. Your accommodation will already be paid for, which includes all the bills and, sometimes, even some meals or breakfast.

If we delve deeper into the topic of bills, you won’t have to keep track of your electricity and water consumption, or worry about paying those bills in addition to internet or cleaning services. And that last point is very important: cleaning. In a student residence, you’ll only have to worry about cleaning your room, and sometimes you can even request this service, completely freeing yourself from household chores. This is something you’d have to deal with living in a private apartment.

Experiences and coexistence in a student residence in Madrid

All of this translates into a huge amount of free time, allowing you to invest it in what really matters: your personal experience. And within that experience, the most important thing is you and your relationships with others. And here, the student residence wins hand down over the private apartment.

Everything in a student residence is designed for your enjoyment and so you can concentrate on what interests you most: your studies and your friends. In a student residence, you have access to the best common areas for studying and socializing.

You’ll meet people from all over the world, literally from every corner of the globe. Each with different interests and cultures, but with the same desire to meet people and have a good time.

So, literally just steps away, you’ll have the fantastic opportunity to try new cuisine, discover new traditions, share stories, and create new memories that will last a lifetime.

You’ll be surrounded by people who share your desire to explore the city and savor every moment as if it were your last. The student residence makes this possible and will make your stay in Madrid a unique and unforgettable experience.

 

And as a final point, if you’re already completely convinced—which we hope you are—that a student residence is far superior to living in a private apartment, you’ll want the very best, right? Well, we have the solution for that too, because there’s absolutely no doubt that CATS Residence is the best option.

We’ve just explained the reasons. For all of this, and for many more reasons you need to experience to understand, CATS Residence will become your home in Madrid when you’re away from home. So, we’re waiting for you with open arms, eager for you to share this special time with us.
