Like any accommodation option, sharing a flat in this Spanish city has certain pros and cons. We'll tell you about them here:
The Erasmus+ application, created by the European Commission, serves as a comprehensive guide throughout the mobility process. It offers information about various programmes, tips for living away from home, and instructions on necessary procedures. Using this and similar apps can make your experience in Malaga much better!.
Sharing a flat is one of the quickest ways to meet new people in the city. You'll have company from the moment you arrive, making it easy to make plans with your roommates. Also, consider the following options for meeting people in Malaga:
The best-known student association for Erasmus students is ESN Malaga. Volunteers in this association encourage interaction among students and provide academic and social integration support, offering events, activities, and affordable trips.
Most Facebook groups for Erasmus students in Malaga are organised by academic year. These groups help you meet people with similar interests, stay informed about city events, and quickly get answers to the questions you might have.
Similar to Facebook groups, WhatsApp groups provide fast updates and allow you to introduce yourself and connect with other students looking to make plans during their free time.
Here are some tips to keep in mind if you are going to share a flat with other young people:
Renting an entire apartment to share typically costs over €2000, depending on the number of people living there. For rooms in already inhabited flats, expect to pay around €350-400 per month.
You can find roommates through online communities like Erasmus Play, as well as through student associations, and Facebook and WhatsApp groups.
Use the Erasmus Play search engine. You can find two options: look for rooms in already established apartments or find full flats with multiple rooms and choose your own roommates.
For exchange students, sharing a flat is ideal for connecting with other young people upon arrival. It also allows you to choose convenient neighbourhoods, such as those near the beach, because the rent is more affordable.
Consider your desired lifestyle—whether you plan to party frequently or prefer a more relaxed environment. Try to find housemates with similar habits to minimise potential conflicts.
