In the province of Tarragona you can really enjoy a high quality of life. Known as the Costa Daurada (Gold Coast), the city of Tarragona has a vibrant cultural heritage and has been declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO thanks to its breath-taking Roman remains, and the nearby modernist city of Reus was the birthplace and early home of the famous architect Antoni Gaudí. Its strategic position and good communications mean that the region is the second most important economic area in Catalonia with a highly dynamic and varied economy.

The Universitat Rovira i Virgili has two different residence halls for students in the city center of Tarragona. The Sant Jordi Residence Hall offers you singles or double rooms. The Tarragona Mediterrani Residence Hall has 80 studios for one or two students. However, you can also find accommodation in any of the residence halls, hostels, apartments or shared flats around the city.

We recommend you to find a temporary accommodation for your arrival, and once you are here, change into another location after finding a suitable long-term accommodation. You can find different options for accommodation in Tarragona, Reus and Tortosa.

In our city it is very common to share a flat with other students. If you are going to stay at the URV for a long period, renting a room in a shared flat is the best way of meeting new people and to assimilate in your new city.

The URV has an accommodation office that allows those who are looking for accommodation to contact those who have rooms available and the other way round.
