Universidad de Zaragoza (UZ) reviews

Go at least 5 working days before the start of your course because many many others are looking for accommodation a couple of days before the start and it is quite stressful and expensive calling about so many flats and competing with other students. Be prepared to make quick decisions and make your deposit on the spot. I say working days because the university doesn't update the rooms database at the weekend. However do not despair, there is always free accommodation advertised and you will find a good flat.

Campus accomodation is very expensive (around 500 Euros/month) and most comments I heard weren't particularly positive (noisy, small rooms...). Generally it is absolutely no problem to find a room in a shared apartment at a reasonable price. However, try not to have exceedingly high expectations in terms of facilities at the apartments.

I arrived early in order to search for a room. The two Spanish girls I am living with are very lovely. We have a great time. Of course, it would be ever better if they also "would love" to clean the apartment but I enjoy my stay with them

Housing is not arranged by the university, although they do provide tips on where and how to find accomodation.

There was a service on campus that helped any student to find accomodation be it in a residence or in a flat as it had a list of adverts

They do have a fair bit of accomodation available through the university but it's not particularly pleasant.
