Student residences are one of the favourite accommodation options for university students, but are they right for you? Sometimes, there are so many accommodation options in a city that you don’t know which one to choose.

Renting rooms, shared flats, halls of residence, student Accommodation…. It’s normal to feel a bit overwhelmed. Especially now that you are about to start your studies and there are many changes happening in your life.

To help you make the right decision, we will tell you everything you need to know to make sure that student residences are the best alternative for you.

You are looking for a place to study and rest  

The main advantage of living in a student residence like LIV Student is that its spaces are tailored to the needs of university students. Therefore, in your room, you will have:

• Desk and ergonomic chair to do your homework comfortably.
• Storage space to keep your belongings and study materials.
• Bookshelf for keeping everything organised
• Note board to keep your to-do’s in sight
• Desk lamp to improve visibility of the projects you’re working on

These accessories are designed to make it easier for you to study, do homework and work on any university project. At the same time, you will have a comfortable bed to rest on, as well as access to other areas of the building where you can entertain yourself and have moments of leisure.

Among the common areas, you will find a games room to have fun with other residents, a multimedia room to watch movies, a karaoke room and more. There’s even a swimming pool and rooftop terrace for relaxation.

Thanks to this, LIV Student residences not only offer space to sleep. They also offer space to study in the most comfortable way, get a good night’s rest and entertain you when you need it.

Knowing this, when comparing student residences with other accommodation options such as a room or a flat rented from a private individual, the differences are remarkable.

In these, you will most likely not find the right furniture and layout for studying. In addition, you will not have access to common areas in which to relax or have fun.

You are attracted to learning opportunities  

In a student residence, you will have many learning experiences. Some of these will be provided by the events and activities that are often organised by the residence management.

These activities range from workshops to lectures. Attending these events will help you develop skills that you may not have discovered in yourself. They will also fill you with new knowledge.

The topics of these activities are varied, so one day you could be at a cooking workshop and another at a music talk or a practical yoga class.

Another thing you will learn from the student residence is the ability to interact with people from other cities and countries. Even people with different cultures or languages. This will develop your ability to work as part of a team, your tolerance and teach you about perspectives and ways of doing things that are different from your own.

You would like to live in comfort  

Student residences offer certain amenities in addition to the design of your room and common areas. Residents also enjoy services such as:

• Room cleaning
• Change of towels and sheets
• Meal plan
• Laundry

These amenities make their days easier. It also helps them make a smoother transition between living with their parents and starting to live on their own. Simply put, they don’t have to deal with cleaning, cooking or looking for a laundry outside.

You are new to the city  

When you don’t know the city, it can be confusing to know which neighbourhood to live in, where to shop, how to pay for utilities… All that plus the stress of starting university studies.

Living in a student residence frees you from the burden of having to know everything at once. You won’t feel like you have to face adult life all at once and take on all its responsibilities.

By staying in a student accommodation, you will make new friends, you will have all services covered and there will always be someone there to answer any questions you have about the city.

This will make your adaptation to the new environment easier and more pleasant, and will prevent you from feeling lost and overwhelmed.
