🎓 Uni life at Universidad Europea de Valencia

Which classes do you recommend… or not?

They had classes in english or spanish, the classes were as expected and very accommodating for exchange students

Do you have some tips?

registration was easy and finding the buildings. There are buildings around the city but walking distance between them all. I was lucky in picking an apartment near my building but it was just by luck so it'd be useful to find out what building you'll have your classes so you can find somewhere close by, but also transport is really good here

✈️ Travel

Best trips to do?

it is very easy to explore valencia due to the transport and it is a very walkable city. there are also erasmus companies that host day/weekend trips for a good price- i have travelled to alicante and peniscola with happyerasmus

🌆 Valencia vibe

What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Valencia?

Transport is cheap and you can get top up cards and monthly cards which is good Go out and take part in events around the city- people are very friendly. In comparison to the UK it is a little cheaper especially accommodation

https://livensaliving.com/alojamientos-valencia/alojamiento-valencia-viveros/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=organico&utm_campaign=local-business&utm_content=link_web_vcl_viveros

Would you recommend it?

Yes. The only thing is they are quite tight on security. You can only have two visitors at one time and only one person can stay over for a maximum of 3 nights before they have to pay an extra fee. Also bear in mind that the pool is closed from October to May.

🍻 Social Life

What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?

I love a little local bar called L’Origen and a great tapas place called La Murta. Personally, I enjoy Havana club and Maya. For specific events follow the Happy Erasmus Valencia - they have something on almost every day.

🎓 Uni life at Univeristy of Valencia

Which classes do you recommend… or not?

I studied Psychology so all my classes are in this field. I very much enjoyed doing clinical psychology however I was not so keen on Psychometrics as it was very different to how I had done it before.

Do you have some tips?

The campus was very nice. The registration was a little difficult in terms of sorting out my timetable but the Univeristy is very helpful. I would defo pick the same uni again.

✈️ Travel

Best trips to do?

I’ve only been to Seville so far which was lovely! However, I do recommend booking long distance trains in advance as they can get expensive if you book closer to the time.

🌆 Valencia vibe

What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Valencia?

The transport is very efficient! A lot of people also cycle to get around as there are cycle lanes that run all throughout the city. I would say the cost of living is very cheap however as soon as you get into Old Town there is a significant increase in prices! I’ve stuck to the Benimaclet area which is filled with students and the prices there reflect that!

💡 Other Tips

Nothing really. Just make the most of it, perhaps make a little list of places you want to go/things you want to do so that you can tick them off throughout the year.

this is the link for one of the rooms (I was in the H1, biggest one): https://helloroom.es/properties/jose-mongrell-h4/

Would you recommend it?

Yes, you have for each room your private bathroom, it's kind of modern and the neighbourhood is really nice for university student at UV and UPV

🍻 Social Life

What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?

Umbracle (really nice looking but not the best one for the atmosphere), Marina (good but a bit expensive), Akuarela - Comittee - Diva - Nice clubs where it costs less than 3 euros where you are erasmus student. Rumbo144 good if you like latino music but the queue and the entrance is one of the worst I have ever seen

🎓 Uni life at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia

Which classes do you recommend… or not?

Finance classes are nice at upv

Do you have some tips?

Good university, very modern with good teachers. I would pick the same univ if I had to do it again. However, the department sport is not that well managed.

✈️ Travel

Best trips to do?

Not so much destination from valencia airport, by that I mean you have a very low number of choice in flights to move around. Madrid and Barcelona can be done in 2 hours of train or even by car in 3,5hours

🌆 Valencia vibe

What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Valencia?

Cost of living, clubs, the vibes, the beach. Also that the center (ciutat vella) is really nice. Difference in the neighbourhood. There are a huge amount of bar/restaurant

Would you recommend it?

Yes, I would definitely recommend it. The apartments were great — I changed twice during my exchange, and each time everything went well. The locations were also ideal, close to everything I needed.

🍻 Social Life

What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?

Valencia is amazing for nightlife and student life in general. I honestly think it’s one of the best student cities in Europe, it’s affordable, there’s always something going on, and there are so many events organized for Erasmus students (like @Erasmuslifevalencia). The city is full of great bars and restaurants too!

🎓 Uni life at University of valencia

Which classes do you recommend… or not?

I was in the finance track, so my experience is quite specific. Overall, the courses were good — not amazing, but interesting. I particularly enjoyed Financial Instruments, International Finance, and Financial Risk Management.

Do you have some tips?

The registration process went smoothly, but the administration isn’t very responsive and it can be quite hard to get in touch with them. So I’m not sure I would choose the same university again.

✈️ Travel

Best trips to do?

There are so many great trips you can take from Valencia! The airport is really close to the city, which makes it super easy to travel. You can also take cheap buses to places like Barcelona and many other destinations around Spain.

🌆 Valencia vibe

What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Valencia?

Valencia has so much to offer! It’s a vibrant, lively city with a great mix of culture, history, and modern life. There are tons of restaurants and bars, and you definitely have to experience Las Fallas it’s amazing. The city is full of young people, and the old town/center is really beautiful. For getting around, public transport is free for under-30s, and there’s a city bike system with cheap subscriptions.
