Depending on the course, accommodation may be included in our own student residence. You will find the student residence San Francisco Javier in our campus of ESIC Valencia.

Otherwise students may need to arrange their own accommodation, choosing from the following options:

STUDENT RESIDENCES: Valencia offers a large number of these, where students can share their experiences with their fellows.

ROOMS FOR RENT Students will easily be able to find rented rooms and apartment shares, as there are plenty available due to the high demand from young people.

In general, finding accommodation usually takes a few days, so we recommend booking a room for your first few nights in one of the many hostels or hotels available in the city.
