Apartments - Standard

CEA apartments are located in the city center, a 10 to 25 minute walk from the University of Granada. Students mostly share the apartment with other CEA students and they are usually co-ed. Although CEA makes every effort to choose housing providers with internet service, internet access cannot be guaranteed in student housing. Internet is available on campus and in cafes throughout the city. By living in an apartment, students are able to enjoy their independence and the convenience of living in the city center. Students are responsible for purchasing and preparing their own meals. All apartments are equipped with a functional kitchen with basic appliances and utensils including a stove and a fridge/freezer. Students are responsible for their laundry. Each flat is equipped with a washing machine. CEA students are responsible for the apartment regular maintenance. This option is perfect for students who are looking for independence and at the same time are willing to accept more responsibilities as part of their personal growth.

Homestays (Shared Room) - Additional Fee

Homestays (Private Room) - Additional Fee

CEA students may choose to be housed in a Spanish homestay located in the city center a 15 to 30 minutes walk from the University of Granada. This type of housing is ideal for students who want to fully immerse in the culture and are willing to adapt to the customs of the host family. Each homestay has been carefully chosen to ensure the best possible living arrangements for each student. Homestays usually consist of a single señora. Students have the chance to practice Spanish on a constant basis outside of the classroom and experience Spanish culture first-hand. In most cases, multiple students are housed together and this housing option may be co-ed.

Residence Halls (Private Room) - Additional Fee

Student residence halls house between 20 and 75 students and most are co-ed. They are similar to a U.S. style dorm, although students may stay in apartments belonging to the residencia. Although CEA makes every effort to choose housing providers with internet service, internet access cannot be guaranteed in student housing. Internet is available on campus and in cafes throughout the city. Residence halls are located in the historical centre of the city which is the main shopping and recreational area full of cafés and touristic attractions, at 10-15 minutes’ walk from the University and from the García Lorca Park and other green areas of the city. During the summer the majority of residents will be North American students, as Spanish students are generally away during the summer months. Three meals are provided every day, with the exception of Sundays and holidays. Weekly cleaning and laundry service are also offered. This type of housing is ideal for students who are looking for independence and at the same time enjoy a dorm atmosphere and want to meet Spanish students of their age.
