Student accommodation, flats and rooms for rent in Santander

Santander is located in the north of Spain and the presence of numerous training centres, both public and private, have made it an important university city within the territory, attracting students from all over the world, as may be your case.

Next, we explain everything you need to know to rent accommodation in Santander in an easy way.

Student apartments for rent in Santander

In Santander, you can find a variety of apartments for rent for students but prices will vary greatly depending on the area and the characteristics of the apartment. This is common in most cities and is that the centre has a higher cost as it is where most of the daily activity and the most emblematic areas of the city are concentrated.

Living in the centre of Santander is not the most affordable option that we can find, being that there are more convenient than other neighbourhoods on the outskirts of the city where we can save a little money on the monthly rent. An apartment for rent is usually around € 600 on average, depending on the number of rooms this price will increase. Finding studios or apartments with a single room is not so easy and that is why we recommend that you look for a room to rent, which will also be much cheaper.

We help you find accommodation according to your budget, from Erasmus Play you can find rooms for rent from € 250 per month.

The price of housing in this area is somewhat expensive but you can find good options both in the Cabildo de Arriba and in Puertochico, the two neighbourhoods in the centre.

El Alisal is one of the residential neighbourhoods that we can find in Santander. It is not far from the centre and is ideal for those who are going to study at the European University of the Atlantic, because its campus is located here. All the life contributed by the campus and the Science and Technology Park has made the area have a good range of shops and restaurants.

It is an old rural area that over time has become one of the dormitory neighbourhoods of the Santander capital. You make sure you live near Santander but with the comfort of being in what would be like a town.

It is not on a whim, it is that they include a meal plan, laundry service and other amenities that have an extra price. To qualify for a room in a university residence, you will have to send an application and if it is approved, you will have access to a place to move in during your academic year.
