Semester across the Mediterranean: Spain to Cyprus


Student Housing

While in Barcelona, you will stay with other Global Learning Semesters students either in same-sex apartments or in student residence halls. 
While in Cyprus, you will stay with other Global Learning Semesters students in same-sex apartments or student residence halls, or in a hotel. Your housing will be either in residential areas near the University of Nicosia campus or near the downtown shopping district of Nicosia.

Some important points about housing
  • Unlike some other study programs, we guarantee housing. Your housing will be available for move-in at the beginning of the program.

  • Our units are modern, furnished, and include kitchens (apartments and residence halls), lounges and basic amenities. With regards to apartments, as is typical of apartment living, not all units are identical as it relates to amenities, furniture and size. The same stands for student residences.

  • Our base fees are for double-occupancy living (e.g. two students per bedroom). Units might have 1, 2 or more bedrooms.
  • All apartments and residences have WiFi (wireless internet broadband) available.

  • Students that would like a bedroom of their own can request a single room by paying the single supplement with their program fees. We cannot guarantee availability of single rooms and will refund single supplements if we cannot accommodate a single room request. It is highly unlikely that a student will be able to successfully request a single room after the start of the program.

  • Room assignment occurs after the participant list for a semester is finalized. We attempt to accommodate reasonable roommate or housing preferences, but make no guarantees that we will be able to do so.

  • All else being equal, we prioritize housing requests based on the date we receive a student's full payment (earlier is better). This is not an absolute factor, but is used as a "tie-breaker" when needed.

Housing outside of Spain and Cyprus

When we travel, we stay in tourist-class hotels, not hostels. These hotels are clean, safe, comfortable and reasonably located. On these trips, students stay two to a room (same-sex) in the vast majority of cases.

There might be occasions when students will stay three to a room (same-sex) in a triple room.
