Know that this depends on several factors, such as its location, the characteristics it has and the amenities that the building has. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know to search for accommodation for your Erasmus in Ponferrada.
Most of the apartments available for students in Ponferrada are studio type, that is, for a maximum of one or two people (ideally a couple). If you want to share an apartment with other students, the best thing you can do is find a room in an apartment that is already rented, an alternative that we explain below.
When comparing the available apartments, you have to pay attention to the characteristics that each one has, such as how many bedrooms and how many bathrooms it has, what appliances it includes (most apartments have the basics such as refrigerator, washing machine, oven and microwave). Some of the apartments may also have a balcony or terrace.
This is the preferred alternative for international young people since, in addition to saving on rental costs and utility bills, it allows you to share the experience more closely with your roommates, making your stay in Ponferrada more fun. In addition, living in a shared apartment allows you to have more independence than living in a student residence, by not having to comply with the rules of the student hall.
The price of rooms in shared flats in Ponferrada goes from € 210 per month onwards and can go up to € 350, always depending on its characteristics and the location it has. For reference, the average price is around € 280 per month.

This campus is located in the centre of the city, a very short distance from the historic centre of Ponferrada.
In this Spanish city, the University of León does not have accommodation available for students, and there are also no private residences, so young internationals tend to choose to rent a room in an apartment shared with other students.
