Choosing where to live while you study away from home is one of the decisions that shapes your university years the most. And at Livensa Living we’re clear about it: we’re much more than residences. We’re the place where you’ll create memories, make friends who end up feeling almost like family and take the leap into your independent life, all while becoming the professional you want to be. If you’re wondering why to choose us, here are the reasons, told the way you’ll actually live them.
The difference between “a place to sleep” and “a place to live well” is in the details. We take care of both your own space and everything that happens outside it: the community, wellbeing, the spaces, security and a team that supports you. All designed so you make the most of these years.
All-inclusive, with no surprises at the end of the month
The price you see is the price you’ll pay. Water, electricity and internet are included, as well as free access to all our facilities. No variable bills, no nasty surprises and no wrestling with utility set-ups: a clear cost that lets you plan your whole year with peace of mind.
Comfort: your space and facilities to match
Our rooms and studios are designed so you have your own place: many with private kitchen and bathroom, individual climate control and high-speed wifi. And when you fancy company, the common areas are perfect for studying calmly, doing group work or unwinding. On top of that, you’ll have facilities such as a cinema or multimedia area, a gym and a games area.
Location: close to your university and well connected
All our residences are located near the most important universities in Spain and Portugal, always looking for areas well connected by public transport. The goal: that getting to class and moving around the city is quick and easy, and that you gain time every day.
Community Life: a community from day one
They say university friends are for life, and at Livensa that starts the moment you walk in. Our Community Life team organises the best plans: film sessions, sports activities, concerts, city outings and our now-legendary themed welcome and Halloween parties. You’ll be surrounded by people like you, diverse and full of energy, with whom you’ll grow socially and personally.
Wellbeing: your wellbeing is a priority
For us, your emotional and physical health genuinely matters, and that goes far beyond nice facilities. Our Wellbeing Programme includes an online platform with resources that adapt to your mood, an unlimited emotional-support service with certified psychologists in more than 25 languages (confidential and online), a wellbeing barometer, 24/7 telehealth medical care and a team trained to support you. Living away from home is easier when you know there’s support if you need it.
Urban Art: residences with a personality of their own
Our buildings are not anonymous spaces: each one features urban art interventions by renowned artists, turning the residences into places with soul. From PichiAvo’s goddess Athena at Barcelona Diagonal Alto or the colour of Boa Mistura at Madrid Getafe, to Bordalo II’s Half Gorilla in Coimbra or Julieta XLF’s murals in Valencia. Art that gives identity to your day-to-day and, along the way, connects each residence with the city around it.
24/7 security and a team that helps you with everything
We want you to feel as safe as at home. That’s why all our residences have CCTV and electronic access control, reception during the day and private security at night: 24/7 protection. And behind it all there’s a close staff, available to lend you a hand with whatever you need, so you can focus on what really matters. Like home… but better.
Flexibility: residences and Livensa Living Studios
Not all students are looking for the same thing, so we offer different options: from our university residences to Livensa Living Studios and flexible accommodation, a good solution if you’re coming on Erasmus, for an internship or for a shorter stay. You choose the format that best fits your moment.
Recognised in the sector
It’s not just us who say it. Livensa Living is an award-winning operator, recognised among others as best student housing operator and for its community, as well as holding distinctions such as Escolha do Consumidor in Portugal. A good sign that there’s serious management and a well-crafted experience behind it.
