Carlos III University has four campuses, three of them located in districts just outside Madrid (Getafe, Leganés and Colmenarejo) and one in the center of Madrid (Puerta de Toledo).
Getafe campus is located very close to the center of Getafe district. The nearest metro station is Juan de la Cierva (line 12) and is only a few minutes walk from the university. Living in Getafe is the best choice if you study on this campus because, despite being outside Madrid, is well connected with the center of the capital by train (line C-4, which stops at Getafe Center).
Getafe is also a good option to find accommodation if you study in the campus of Leganés, as the journey by metro (line 12) takes about 30 minutes. The University is located in the center of Leganés and has very modern facilities, including an indoor pool and an auditorium. The nearest metro station is Leganés Central (only 7 minutes by walk to the university) and next to it there’s also a train station (also called Leganés Central).
Colmenarejo campus is in Colmenarejo district, located northwest of the city. This campus also has modern facilities and its highlight is the library.
Madrid campus is in the Embajadores neighbourhood, near the famous Rastro market and the Ribera market. The metro stop Puerta de Toledo (line 5) is right next to the University and Embajadores metro stop (line 3), only ten minutes away.
If you study in the Puerta de Toledo campus, the best areas to look for accommodation are Puerta de Toledo (you can even walk to the University), La Latina (one stop on the metro line 5), Sol ( 22 minutes by bus number 3 or 19 minutes on the metro line 5 to Gran Vía) and Embajadores (10-15 minute walk).
Carlos III University was founded in 1989 and is one of the 150 best universities in the world according to the classification of employability by university graduates conducted by QS in 2016. The university offers an excellent international environment, study programs in both Spanish and English and modern facilities.
Uniplaces is creating a trusted brand for students everywhere. We believe in making finding accommodation better. We want students to have a great experience when they book a place, when they move in, and every day that they spend there. At the same time, we're always looking for trustworthy landlords who can help us deliver this great experience. We've moved the whole process of finding, choosing and booking online. It's our way of turning an old-fashioned market upside-down. It's our way of changing the world.
You can check your booking details — such as your booking ID, official move-in and move-out dates, landlord contact information, cancellation policy, and other rental conditions — on the booking confirmation email we sent you or on your Personal Dashboard.
To access your Personal Dashboard, log in to your Uniplaces account, click on your name on the top right-hand side of your screen, and click on "Booking requests".
This is where you can find everything about your booking.
The first month's rent is paid directly to Uniplaces and is transferred to your landlord 24 hours after you move in. After that, your monthly rent has to be paid directly to your landlord.
Remember that you also need to pay a security deposit and admin fee (if applicable) directly to your landlord on the day you check in.
Please get in touch with your landlord to agree on how you're going to pay your monthly rent.
Uniplaces strives to make sure the photos and information you see in our listings accurately represent what you will find when you arrive in your new home. We created the 24-hour safety period to protect our students and to make sure they are compensated in case something goes wrong.
In the unlikely and unfortunate event of arriving only to find a place that looks completely different from the one you booked, or if it has different conditions from the ones that were included in the listing, please let us know within 24 hours of your move-in date so we can investigate and withhold the rent transfer to the landlord.
Are you having a problem with your move-in?
We’re very sorry that you’re having an issue with your move-in. If you’re still within the first 24 hours of your official move-in date, you can easily file a complaint on your dashboard. Simply follow these steps:
We will answer you back as soon as possible to help you in any way we can.
Important: Please keep in mind that we can only help you within the 24 hours of your move-in date, so it is essential that you report your issue within this time. After these 24 hours, your first rent is transferred to your landlord, and you won't be able to receive a refund.
Tip: Make sure to collect evidence (photos and videos) to support your complaint, as we will request it at a later stage. Also, try to discuss your issue with your landlord before filing a complaint so they are given the opportunity to fix it.

Sometimes a booking might be cancelled unexpectedly. It may be related to your landlord or to the place you booked. Whatever the reason, you will be notified of the cancellation immediately.
If either your landlord or Uniplaces cancels your booking, you will be fully refunded, including the first month's rent, the Uniplaces service fee, and any deposit you may have paid. Depending on your payment method and bank account, the amount you paid should reach your bank account within 10 business days.
You might be contacted by a Uniplaces agent to help you find a new place. We will suggest similar places to the one you booked and make sure they match your original preferences.
In case no other similar place is available for the dates you selected, try editing your preferences. The less limited they are, the more likely you are to find a great place!
