4.33 / 5 based on 210 reviews.
Description:
La Universidad de Córdoba, fundada en 1972, es una Universidad joven, pero que recoge experiencias como la de la Universidad Libre que funcionó entre 1870 y 1874.

Es un campus moderno, en plena expansión, que ha emprendido un ambicioso proyecto, ya muy avanzado, a través del cual se convertirá, a principios del siglo XXI, en uno de los principales complejos de investigación y docencia agroalimentaria y medioambiental de toda Europa.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The flat we rented with 2 other student was very spacious and very cheap. Moreover it was situated in the old part of the center of Cordoba. The place was precious and I experimented the spanish way of living.
Personal comments:
The university was proposing some adresses of flat or house that could be rented. Though, the number of adress was a bit reduced in comparaison with the number of students. But it was not so difficult to find an accomodation because we could read advertisement everywhere in town, in bus stops, on the walls...
