Many students choose to spend part of their university education abroad. Immersed in the daily life of another country, it is easier to learn the language and culture. For Spanish-speaking French students, a stay on the Costa Brava has a strong advantage: the cost of living is lower than in France. As with any move, finding the right accommodation is a must. How to make the right choice?
Costa Brava: buy a property to live in during long studies
In recent years, many French people have opted to buy a second home or apartment for vacations and longer stays in Spain. Today, buying a property on the Costa Brava is a real investment, especially if you plan to study in Catalonia for a long time. You'll then have a pied-à-terre in Spain if you choose to make a life here. And if you choose to return to France at the end of your studies, you'll have time to invest in your property and sell it at the best price before you return to France.

Shared accommodation on the Costa Brava: an affordable solution for students
Sharing a flat abroad offers many advantages. This alternative allows young students to live in a large space at a lower cost. Indeed, in a shared apartment, rent, utilities and sometimes even shopping are shared. As a bonus, this experience is often very rich in human terms, especially if you share with other foreign students. The more people there are in a shared apartment, the more your cozy little nest will look like a real Spanish inn!
Higher education on the Costa Brava: house or apartment?
