University guide for first-timers in Barcelona
Faithful to our mission, which goes far beyond providing quality accommodation for students, and with the desire to take care of our residents and make their stay in Barcelona easier, today we have prepared a university guide for students that will help you to become integrated in the city.
ADAPTING TO A NEW WORLD
Everything seems to be completely different when you newly arrive in Barcelona and don’t know anything or anybody. You do not know what paperwork you have to do or where you should go for the more technical issues, such as opening a bank account, choosing a mobile tariff… If you choose to live in our student residence you do not have to be worried because we help with everything.
THE FEAR OF NOT KNOWING ANYONE AT THE BEGINNING
Another of the handicaps when you arrive alone in the city. But in The Lofttown we also guarantee that you will not have this experience of finding yourself alone. From the first minute you’ll already be making friends, because in a university residence everybody is in the same situation and it is easy to make new friends.
WHAT HAPPENS ABOUT LEISURE?
Another of the doubts that plague many students is the leisure in each city. Barcelona is a wonderful city in which you can experience all kinds of sensations that will win you over. If you are a lover of open-air sports such as running or water sports, Barceloneta, Montjuïc, Tibidabo and the Carretera de les Aigües, for example, are some of the places that you mustn’t miss. But in addition, The Lofttown will provide you with programs designed for you and your new friends to do. It is impossible to get bored!
This quick university guide for students considers for you the 3 aspects that most concern students when they come alone to the city. With The Lofttown everything is solved. 😉

What are the best universities in Barcelona?
Pompeu Fabra University, the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and the Autonomous University of Barcelona led the ranking of best universities in Barcelona and Spain in 2016, according to the report prepared by the Valencian Institute of Economic Research and BBVA. In it, a total of 61 Spanish universities were assessed and indicators were taken into account such as their teaching activities, research, innovation and technological development.
If you are looking for universities in Barcelona it means that you are going to begin a new life here in the city during your university time. So today we are giving you help on what you have to keep in mind to organize your accommodation if you are going to study away from home.
Where are you going to live while you study?
The first thing to look for is a place to stay. The city offers several options for students, from renting a flat or a room to staying in a university dorm. The best option for a student is a university residence, for three simple reasons:
- You live with other students, who you will have many things in common with, and you will be in the same situation.
- You have all the comforts of home and everything included for one price.
- And it is one of the safest options, since you have all the professionals to help you in everything you need and for any problem; and, in addition, facilities are equipped with security systems.
Formalities to carry out
Some countries require a Student Visa. Look for an agency or information office for foreign students to help you in that process.
You have to be covered by health insurance during your stay abroad.
For stays of more than 3 months, it is possible that you may have to obtain a residence permit, in addition to the visa.
And finally, two small great tips. Arrive a few days earlier; and take something from your room to put it in your new home. It will help you to feel close to you and yours.

3 tips that will make you choose the best lodging Barcelona
How can we know what is the best lodging Barcelona? The key is to take into account what it will bring to our studies, if it is going to promote academic success, and what it will bring us with regards to comfort, safety and fun.
Follow this guide and you are sure to choose the best lodging Barcelona.
1. IT ENCOURAGES COMBINING STUDIES WITH LEISURE ACTIVITIES
The ideal lodging Barcelona is one that offers you all the facilities to study, but which in turn is concerned that residents enjoy themselves. One that is proactive and organizes events, looks after students and ultimately behaves as if we were all one big family. Much more than accommodation, a way of living your university time.
2. IT IS IN THE IDEAL LOCATION
We all know the advantages of living in the centre, next to everything, where we can walk anywhere; or if we have to move away from the centre and use public transport, have transport right next to us. And if we also stay in a pedestrian street, quiet and secure, we will enjoy all the advantages of living in the middle of the big city but with the tranquillity of a residential area.
3. IT PROMOTES A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
We only have one life, so don’t waste a second of it. And to enjoy it to the maximum we need to take care of ourselves. Neither stress, nor lack of time must be excuses for not taking care of ourselves; and food has much to do with it. So, choose a residence where they have this philosophy of life very clear and get caught up in it. A place that cares about the environment and people, and offers local produce and organic cuisine.
The Lofttown has very much taken these tips into account and from them has built the residence and its philosophy to become the best lodging Barcelona. We remind you that this next July 1st we are opening!
