ESADE housing:

ESADE will provide a link regarding the on campus housing. ESADE is about 40 minutes outside of Barcelona. Students are not required to stay in ESADE housing and can find their own housing, but independent housing can be difficulty to find in Barcelona. ESADE provides additional resources on their intranet for short-term stays but does not assist with booking independent housing. You should research housing options as soon as possible to avoid not finding a place before your arrival. Space can be limited and fill up quickly.

If you are interested in on campus housing, ESADE provides information here. 

BCN-Nest

If you are interested in living with a host family, ESADE recommends using BCN-Nest.

If you have questions regarding housing, it is best to contact your housing provider directly. The Gies Global Programs office has no authority over host university policy and procedure. If it is a situation where you are not getting a response, please let us know.

Prior to arrival to campus, check with your housing provider to inquire about the earliest move-in date. If you plan to arrive early and are using university housing, you may be required to pay an extra fee for early move-in or may need to find other accommodations. Make sure to check the time that the housing office will be open for check-in.

Regardless of what housing you choose, be sure to arrange it before arriving on campus.

Illinois housing:

• If you are studying abroad for only one semester, you may need to sublease your Champaign-Urbana apartment or find a sublease for yourself for the semester you’ll be on campus. 

• Post on the study abroad housing board (this link can also be found on the study abroad website under "Support Resources")

• Use this housing board to find a semester sublease for yourself or to advertise your sublease to incoming exchange students.

• If you are living in UIUC housing, notify the housing department that you will be studying abroad. We can provide a confirmation letter, if needed.
