3. Rent payments
What do I have to pay and when?
Please log in to your account for a downloadable rent schedule and dates.
In order to pay rent in three or two instalments, you will need to provide evidence of a guarantor based in the country of your accommodation, such as a family member or friend. The first rent instalment must be paid 30 days prior to your tenancy start date. The rest rent payments can be found on the following section.
If you are unable to provide a guarantor based in Spain, your rent payment will need to be made a year in advance, in full, 30 days prior to your tenancy start date.
I am paying my rent in instalments, when are my payments due?
For those students paying in instalments, the rent payment dates are:
- 1st instalment – 30 days prior to your tenancy start date
- 2nd instalment – the following January
- 3rd instalment – the following May
For 22 weeks tenancies, the rent payment dates are:
- 1st instalment – 30 days prior to your tenancy start date
- 2nd instalment – the following November for the first semester, and the following May for the second semester
These can also be found on your tenancy agreement.
Please note that we don’t accept cash.
Remember: if you have chosen to pay by repeat card transaction, please ensure that you have sufficient funds available in your account at least one working day prior to the rent due date.
I am paying my rent in full, when is my payment due?
If you are unable to provide a guarantor based in Spain, your rent payment will need to be made in advance, in full, 30 days prior to your tenancy start date.
I don't have a guarantor, can I still live in Collegiate accommodation?

4. Moving in
When can I move in?
Your accommodation will have a dedicated Move In weekend which coincides with the start of your tenancy. Details of this will be communicated closer to the time.
Don’t worry if you are not able to move in on the dedicated Move In weekend, you can still pick up your keys during office hours outside of this. Please just contact the helpful on-site accommodation team to let them know when to expect you and to ensure moving in is a hassle-free experience for you.
What do I have to bring?
As a Collegiate resident you will need to provide your own bedding, kitchen equipment, towels etc.
If you have specific questions about what to bring, such as sizes for bedding, or whether to bring induction or standard pots and pans, please contact your on-site accommodation team.
5. Collegiate community
This will be my first time living away from home or in Spain and I'm nervous as I don't know anybody...
Communal student living is all part of the university experience. But at Collegiate we think we’ve arranged things to ensure that you have a great environment, friendly people and a real sense of community. We want you to enjoy the now and look back with fondness when the time comes to move on.
To help make sure you have the best of times, our accommodation team will arrange events throughout the academic year to help you get to know your flatmates while having a good time – and even learning something new and different from your studies.
Keep an eye on the Facebook page for your student residence and on-site notice boards for up-coming events.
I would like to be situated close to my friends in the same apartment block - is this possible?
Please let us have details at the time of booking and we will always try and accommodate friends and students from the same university together.
What kind of students will be living in Collegiate accommodation?
A wide range of students live in Collegiate student accommodation in Spain, including undergraduates, postgraduate students and international students.
