Student Life

Student Housing: UPV does not provide accommodation for exchange students. It is usually quite easy to find housing in private apartments near our 3 campuses any time of the year (both before arrival or in the first
days of your stay). For housing in student dorms, we recommend you book in advance.

Student Support: At the beginning of each semester, a general orientation

meeting or Welcome Day is organized at the central UPV level for new exchange students in any study field. In 2020-21 we have held virtual Welcome Days. Details are sent by email to all students a few days in advance. Additionally, many UPV Schools/Faculties often organize a
faculty-level information meeting for their own students, with more in-depth instructions. Other Schools provide orientation on an invididual basis.
