Coliving vs Traditional Shared Apartment. Perfect for Erasmus

By Marco, Erasmus student at the University of La Laguna

When I arrived in Tenerife in January 2025 to study at the University of La Laguna (ULL), I knew I needed student accommodation in La Laguna that was comfortable, well located and stress-free.

At first, I searched for many traditional shared apartments, but everything felt chaotic, confusing contracts, high deposits, old rooms, random flatmates and bills not included.

Then I found Coliving Tenerife, a coliving near the University of La Laguna, and it turned out to be the best decision of my entire Erasmus experience.

From the very first day, I felt it wasn’t just another shared flat, but a real community of students and young professionals, a place where you meet people from different countries, share dinners, study together and truly feel at home even when you are far away from your country.

One of the biggest advantages is that everything is included, high-speed internet, water, electricity and cleaning, so there are no surprises at the end of the month, no arguments about bills, just one clear monthly price.

The rooms are perfect for students, comfortable beds, clean and modern spaces, a desk for studying and good natural light, ideal if you are looking for Erasmus student rooms in Tenerife.

As an Erasmus student, flexibility is key, here I had semester contracts, no long-term commitments and no complicated paperwork, which is perfect if you are staying only for a few months.

Living here also means being just a few minutes from the University of La Laguna, no long bus rides, more time to study and more time to enjoy the island, so if you want student housing near ULL, the location is simply ideal.

During my stay I lived with Italians, Germans, French students and local Canarians, it felt like a small international family where you learn languages, cultures and make friends for life.

If you are a student looking for cheap rooms in La Laguna, student accommodation near ULL or shared housing for university students in Tenerife, I 100% recommend this coliving.

Here you don’t just rent a room, you create memories, shared dinners, island trips and group study sessions, my Erasmus experience was amazing thanks to this place.

Thank you, Coliving Tenerife, for making me feel at home.
