The Universidad Europea de Madrid has two campuses, located in Villaviciosa de Odón and Alcobendas. The campus of Villaviciosa has a bus stop (line 518), which connects with Príncipe Pío, very close to the Royal Palace and the Plaza de Oriente. The closest metro stop to the Alcobendas campus is La Moraleja, on line 10.
When looking for rooms and apartments for students near the campus of Villaviciosa you can choose to live in that town, although you may want to choose neighborhoods in Madrid that are well connected with the university. If so, the best option is to look for a room in the areas near Príncipe Pío, as well as the southern part of Argüelles, as it has good communications by bus. The bus line 518 runs the Principe Pio-Villaviciosa de Odón route.
Alcobendas is a city of more than 100 000 inhabitants with many residential areas, so it can also be a good idea to look for accommodation there. If you prefer to live in Madrid, but do not want to take that much time commuting to the, one can choose the northern neighorhoods, such as Fuencarral or Tetuan.
The metro ride from Fuencarral (line 10) to La Moraleja takes about 15 minutes. From there you can continue on foot (25 minutes) or take bus number 2, which runs the Alcobendas-La Moraleja route. If you live in Tetuán you can go to the faculty in Alcobendas by bus. Line 193 covers the route Plaza de Castilla-Alcobendas (Avda. Olímpica) and takes 41 minutes. From the neighborhood of La Paz (Tetuan district) you can also go to Alcobendas with bus number 192 from Paseo de la Castellana-La Paz Hospital, which takes 33 minutes.
If you prefer to live in the center of Madrid, you have the option to take the Cercanías train from Sol (C4) to Alcobendas-San Sebastián de los Reyes station in less than 30 minutes and then take the urban bus number 9 to go to the EMU .

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.

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!
