Hence, it is important to assess how close it is to the campus where you have chosen to study. It must be pointed out that Barcelona is very well connected by public transport; either by bus, metro or tram service. In addition, you can also use the bicing service, Barcelona being one of the cities with most bike lanes in Europe. At Xior we are located in front of the sea in Barcelona, from where you can go to your study center with ease and enjoying the best atmosphere.
On the other hand, you must learn to differentiate between a low cost accommodation and an exclusive residence that offers you the convenience you really need.

Finding the university student residence you need is only up to you. We know that all students are different and, for this reason, you should always prioritize your comfort in every way. One of the aspects that is most valued when choosing a student accommodation is the catering service. Genuinely, the appropiate nutrition of young students is key to guarantee that their academic performance is always optimal.
Por ello, podrás elegir entre una residencia que cuente con el servicio integral de comida, ya sea de pensión completa o media pensión, o si eres de los que prefieren cocinarse así mismos, también podrás optar por una habitación que cuente con cocina privada o compartida. At Xior, we have a high-quality food service with which we want to facilitate your stay in Barcelona. You will only have worry about your academic responsibilities and fully enjoy the city.

That will make you as busy as the study season. We remind you that at Xior we are at your entire disposal so that you can enjoy your holidays in Barcelona to the fullest.
Tip 4: Total freedom
What students seek most in their youth is freedom. Este factor es relevante al momento de elegir una residencia universitaria, por lo que debes verificar que te ofrezca una recepción las 24 horas del día, proporcionándote además todas las facilidades en el acceso y salida, sin límites con el tiempo y con una completa seguridad. However, it is also important that you carefully read the rules stipulated by the university student residence.
Remember that showing respect, socialization and the correct coexistence are important aspects that will help your stay to be the best it can be, also contributing directly to achieve all your academic goals. It is essential that you choose a student residence that suits your lifestyle so your experience can be completely satisfying and enriching.
Tip 5: Socialization spaces
Preparing yourself academically is good. However, for your university experience to be the best it should be perfectly combined with an active and entertaining social life in Barcelona. Keep in mind that when you are in Barcelona you will meet many people your age, who, like you, will be willing to make new friends, have fun and enjoy the experience to the fullest.
This factor is a plus that you should look for in your student accomodation . Here you will create bonds every day by interacting with people from all over the world. At the same time, don’t forget that it is a great opportunity to get to know other cultures, undertake professional projects and even practice new languages. At Xior we encourage the socialization of our residents and try to make it always optimal. That’s the reason why we promote collective activities, both leisure and sports, so that young students enjoy their stay in Barcelona to the fullest in total harmony and in the best possible environment.
Tip 6: Sport activities
Mens sana in corpore sano is the best combination for young students. For this reason, it is very important that you choose a residence that allows you to partake in sports activities, either in the open air or in gyms that are part of its infrastructure. Exercising properly when you are a student will bring you great benefits, such as improving your physical response by increasing your resistance or increasing your breathing capacity, which will allow you to streamline your mind.
