ACCOMMODATION

HALLS OF RESIDENCE

Although there are no Residence Halls in our campus, this may be an interesting option since public transport properly links this campus with the city centre and the campus at Plaza San Francisco. Exchange students have to apply for a place in a University Hall of Residence through the form at http://wzar.unizar.es/servicios/inter/borrar/alojamiento/aloja.html*

If a Hall of Residence is your best liked choice but you applied a bit late and got no place at the University halls, you can directly contact those below promoted by private institutions:

* Information on the services provided in the different Halls is given in the form itself

FLATS AND ROOMS

The priority for those who prefer to live in a flat is to arrange accommodation for their first days in Zaragoza: it would be advisable to apply for short term accommodation in a University Hall of Residence (option C of the form) or directly contact the Youth Hostel:

Albergue Juvenil «Baltasar Gracián»

C/ Franco y López, 4 - 50005 ZARAGOZA

Booking: (+34) 902 088 905 / raaj.iaj@aragon.es

In case this option was not available at the time of your application or you have other preferences, a list of hotels in the city can be looked up at

http://cmisapp.zaragoza.es/ciudad/turismo/es/

Your main task during these first days will be looking for a flat: the offer is wide and it does not normally take more than a week to find a place.

These are some aspects to keep in mind before starting your search:

• Campus Río Ebro is located in the area known as ACTUR
• Reaching this campus from the furthest district in the city is no more than a half-an-hour bus ride
• Prices ranks from 500€ if you want to live by yourself until 150€ if you get a room in a shared flat

The main sources of information on flats and rooms to rentare:

• the lists updated by
• the University Accommodation Service
• http://wzar.unizar.es/ciur/alojamiento.html
• the Youth Housing Service held by the City Council
• http://cmisapp.ayto-zaragoza.es/aytocasa/jsp/tramiteJuventud.jsp?id=97

Both are information-only services and offer no support to contact the owners or arrange the rental agreement.

• the notice boards in the Faculties and Schools: most students and landlords put their ads in them and you are also invited to do so.

HOMESHARE WITH ELDERLY PEOPLE

Within the Homeshare International network, this programme puts together students looking for cheap accommodation and elderly householders willing to exchange housing by support: students get their own room for free and offer help and companionship.
