Wake up to the cheerful sound of Segovian birds chirping, whether you’re staying at the Reyes Católicos Residence Hall on campus, or in a residence, homestay, or apartment in the center of the city. Staying at the Reyes Católicos Residence Hall means you’re right on campus, but if you choose to stay off campus, other accommodation options are only a few minutes away. Residence halls, with all-inclusive options, make sure everything is taken care of for you. You won’t have to worry about extra stressers like utility bills or internet connection, and you will be able to focus on your studies and meet the other incredible students who live there too. You’ll have the option of three meals a day, along with laundry and cleaning services.
“IE University seemed incredible to me from the very first moment. Its model is perfect for the development of my professional profile.” – Daniel (Australia) Dual Degree in Business Administration and International Relations, Class of 2020
The Reyes Católicos Residence Hall, our on-campus residence, offers completely refurbished single or double rooms that are bright and modern in the historic campus setting. The small residence, with accommodation for 61 students, means you’ll have the chance to connect with other international students and form a close-knit community.
The cafeteria with two floors is a sunny space to have a homemade meal, recharge your batteries, and bond with your peers. Many students choose to find a shared apartment off campus after their first year to experience life as a local Segovian. With the campus a 5-15 minute walk from just about anywhere you might want to stay in the center, living off campus can be a fun option for finding your independence in the beautiful city of Segovia.
