Living in La Coruña, Spain by Rubén

What is it like to live in La Coruña? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Without a doubt! The city has thousands of places to visit, as much nearby as in the city itself.

What is the student lifestyle like in La Coruña?

The city doesn't actually have a big student vibe, you couldn't describe it as a great university city, but on certain days (like Thursday evenings) it's bursting with students.

How much does it cost to live in La Coruña?

You can find a flat in La Coruña from €150 a month (per person) then you have to take the city bus to the university, it's a bit far (about 10 minutes by bus). If you get a a Millenium card a journey will cost approximately 80 cents.

Was it difficult to find accommodation in La Coruña? Can you give any advice?

There are a lot of flats that are set aside for students, you won't have any problems. The residences are really far out of the city centre, so I wouldn't recommend them.

The food in Galicia in general is 10/10 amazing.

Where would you recommend for a night out in La Coruña?

My favourite place, without a doubt, is the puerto de ocio area, it's a shopping centre with pubs on the first floor that have balconies that look out onto the sea. They've just opened a big club there, too.

Do you have any advice for future students in La Coruña?

Take an umbrella and go and have a great time!
