    Living in Segovia

    Living and studying in Segovia is an unforgettable experience, sure to delight lovers of history, culture, and architecture. 

    As you walk through winding alleyways, you’ll pass medieval bars, gothic cathedrals, Disney-esque castles on hilltops…and that’s before you reach the midtown Roman aqueduct, the city’s striking signature monument. There’s no better way to fully immerse yourself in the Spanish experience than by studying in Segovia, registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1985.

    Accommodation

    There are several types of accommodation available in Segovia. From student residences to private and shared flats, and homestay with local families. We recommend that you start looking for accommodation as soon as possible to make sure that you are able to choose the option that is best for you!

    Our campus is walking distance from almost anywhere in Segovia, so it is up to each student to decide what area suits them best according to their needs.

    Student Residences

    • Beyond campus

      Beyond Campus is an exclusive platform, made by IE students, for IE students. A team of IE MBA Alumni, who successfully identified a real need to find good, reliable, and safe accommodation for the growing IE community, founded this useful accommodation platform.

      Not only do they have the best-curated apartments and residences near the city center and the new campus, but they also strive to improve the experience offering contracts in English, 24/7 service, and quality control of apartments, amongst other benefits!

    • Choose your student residence

      Choosing a student residence will keep you from taking care of time-consuming logistical issues, such as utility bills and internet contracts, allowing you to focus on the important things! Many of these residences will give you the option to sign up for additional services, such as food and laundry. 

      On top of it all, they are one of the best places to make friends and get to know Segovia!

      Below, you will find a list of residences included in the Beyond Campus platform. If you are interested in booking this option, we recommend you do so as soon as possible, as they have limited availability and they can fill up quickly.

    2. Renting an apartment

    You will find a variety of apartments at Beyond Campus. The team visits every apartment and selects the best ones to make sure they fit with your standards when you book them on the website. They also make sure prices fairly fit real estate’s market price so you are not over listed or scammed.

    There are also other options if you choose not to use Beyond Campus to look for an apartment. However, before renting a flat in Segovia, there are several things to keep in mind. The most important factor, which directly influence the amount you spend on rent, is whether you decide to share an apartment. 

    Living alone is usually more expensive. If you do not know anyone with whom to share a flat, but would like to find accommodation with another IEU student, you can access your Slack account and look for the “roomates-wanted“ group (kindly note the Slack account is only available for enrolled students). This group was created to help you find flat mates among the IEU Community

    FAQ's of Living in Segovia

    • Though prices for renting an apartment in Segovia vary depending on several factors, including the student’s personal taste and needs, you can expect to pay anywhere between 500€ and 900€ a month for a one - or two - bedroom apartment. If you plan to share your flat with other students, expect to pay between 400€ and 600€ per month

    • Rental contracts usually last one year, although you can sometimes negotiate with the property owner to rent for a shorter period (please keep in mind that this might increase the price). Landlords will usually ask for a security deposit that can be the equivalent of 1 to 3 months of rent, but you can negotiate the terms with them personally.

      In addition, it is important you always request a receipt of payment, as well as a contract agreed and signed by both parties.

    • Please note that additional expenses such as electricity, water, gas, wi-fi, etc., are usually NOT included in the cost of rent, although sometimes they are. Make sure you know which utilities are or are not included in the price before signing the contract.

    Other Resources

    • PHONE & WIFI CONTRACTS

      Kindly note that it is highly recommended that as soon as you arrive in Spain you get a Spanish SIM card as you will need a Spanish phone number in order to secure your appointments in order to secure your NIE card.

      IE has an agreement with the company Go!red with whom you will be able to get a phone or Wi-Fi contract with no need of showing them your NIE card (Student Permit/Certificate of registration). Contact them and let them know you are an IE student.

      Another option is to sign a contract with one of the most popular telephone providers in Spain. These companies can also give you the option of a Wi-Fi contract. The most popular providers are Vodafone, Orange and Movistar. These companies often ask for students to show their NIE card/Certificate of Registration in order to sign a contract so many students start off by getting a pre-paid SIM card and later witch to a contract.

    • Bank Accounts

      Although it is not a requirement, many students decide to open a Spanish bank account.

      While students are welcome to try to open a bank account at the bank of their choice, banks have the right to ask foreigners for their NIE card (the Spanish ID number/card assigned to foreigners) to guarantee that they will be in Spain for extended stays.

      IE has a deal with a branch of Banco Sabadell and Banco Santander. To open an account with one of these two banks, you only need your passport and proof that you are an IE student (copy of your Enrollment Contract or an Enrollment Certificate in Spanish).
