We pay 4,500 euros a month for a 6-room flat: the economic odyssey of the thousands of students displaced to Madrid

The article discusses the financial challenges faced by students who move to Madrid for university education, focusing on the high cost of accommodation. María Hidalgo Creus, a 23-year-old student from Lleida, explains that she had to relocate to Madrid to study at the University Rey Juan Carlos, as no other institution offers her desired degree. The article highlights that Madrid hosts more universities than any other region in Spain, offering over 700 degrees, which attracts many students from across the country. However, finding affordable housing is a significant challenge, with some students paying up to 4,500 euros per month for a six-room apartment. While some students benefit from scholarships or private residences like the one Pablo Marfany resides in, others struggle financially. The article notes that while public accommodations are cheaper, they are often oversubscribed, and there is no official count of available spots.
