Accommodation and the cost of living
Accommodation
ESADE does not have housing facilities for students in Barcelona–Pedralbesbut students are welcome to stay at the Residencia Sarria, which is a 15-minute walk down to the Pedralbescampus and about 25 minutes to the SarriàFGC station or Vita Students, which is located next to ESADE 'sbuilding III at Av. d'Esplugues. In Sant Cugat, the Roberto de Nobili Residence Hallis on campus and less than 5 minutes from your classes.
Before deciding whether to live in Barcelona or Sant Cugat, you should consider the advantages and disadvantages of each. One of the great advantages of living in Sant Cugatis the proximity to your classes and the slower pace of living in a quiet suburb; getting to class will take minutes from most anywhere in Sant Cugat.
