Valencia has a special appeal. It’s not just the Mediterranean sunshine, the perfect climate or the proximity to the sea. This city has established itself as one of the most prominent and sought-after university destinations in Spain. If you’re certain that you’ll be spending the next few years here, we’ll tell you this much: it’s a great decision.

Starting university away from home is one of the most exciting adventures of your life. You arrive in a new city, check out your student accommodation, meet your future best friends and begin to savour that long-awaited university independence.

But, let’s not kid ourselves: on this new journey, two small but inevitable challenges usually crop up. The first is that you’re going to miss home and your family traditions from time to time. The second is much more pragmatic: making sure to get to the eight o’clock class on time.

At Canvas Student, our aim is much more than simply providing student accommodation; we want to create a real home away from home. That’s why, at this time of year when thousands of young people are getting their university offers and planning the upcoming academic year, we wanted to launch a very special initiative to tackle both these challenges with a healthy dose of humour, empathy and emotion.

Bordeaux may be known around the world for wine and elegant architecture, but student life here goes far beyond the usual postcard images.

One day might mean browsing a food market with friends; the next could involve an immersive exhibition, a cycle along the Garonne or a train towards the Atlantic coast.

With summer here and admission requirements published, it’s time to face one of the major crossroads of your academic career: deciding in which city you’re going to spend the next few years. If the Andalusian capital is one of your favourites, get ready; studying here’s an experience that will stay with you for life.
