Best neighbourhoods to live in near the UPM

These are some of the neighbourhoods that we recommend considering for living:

Chamberí

This neighbourhood is very close to the Ciudad Universitaria Campus and the Madrid Campus of the UPM. It is a very popular area among young people to live all year round for different reasons, although it usually has a high cost of living. Here there is a good offer of leisure activities (museums, theatres, bars, restaurants, and live music), green areas to enjoy, and good connections with the rest of the city.

Boadilla del Monte

This area is ideal for students who will be attending the Montegancedo Campus, as it has very good connections to it. Keep in mind that this municipality is on the outskirts of Madrid, so you will be a bit far from the leisure spots frequented by students. However, a positive aspect is that the cost of rent is usually more affordable than in the centre of the capital.

Vallecas

The Vallecas area is the most convenient for being close to the UPM Campus Sur, as it is located right there. In this area, you can consider the historic centre of Vallecas, Santa Eugenia or even Palomeras Sureste. From here, you can reach the centre of Madrid in half an hour or less by public transportation.

Student residences near the UPM

The UPM manages a university accommodation service in residences. It has two residences, one of which is located in the central Chamberí neighbourhood. This service has limited places, and they tend to run out quickly. But don't worry, there are a wide variety of private residences that allow any university student to stay and offer a wide variety of options, services, and rooms that adapt to the needs of the students.

Erasmus in the Polytechnic University of Madrid

Some things you need to keep in mind when studying at this institution:

  • The UPM offers a shuttle bus service that connects the different campuses and the city centre. It's free for students, so it's a good option to easily get from one place to another.
  • The university recommends having a minimum B1 level of Spanish to be able to follow classes easily. Additionally, to improve your Spanish, you can enrol in Spanish courses offered at the Language Center.
