Dorms vs. Apartments: Kat's Study Abroad Housing Guide

Living in halls is just the easiest option. But finding an apartment can be pretty daunting in a new city. Check what the best kind of local advertising rental thing is. If you move to Barcelona, they really love Idealista and Bardi. It's a lot harder when you don't speak the language, but hopefully you can find a middle ground and yeah, just know, you have that hostel for you know a week or whatever, and you can probably extend it pretty easily if you still haven't found somewhere.
Picture this: you're about to embark on an exciting study abroad journey, but there's one big decision looming—where will you live? In this episode of 'Great Mornings are Sober', Kat dives into the age-old debate of dorms versus apartments for students studying in a foreign country. Having experienced both living arrangements herself in Salamanca and Barcelona, Kat offers a balanced perspective on the pros and cons of each option.
Dorm life can be convenient, with easy access to campus and built-in support systems. However, it often comes with a higher price tag and less privacy. On the flip side, apartment living can offer more independence and potentially lower costs, but finding the right place in a new city can be a daunting task.
Kat doesn't just stop at listing pros and cons; she shares practical tips for finding an apartment, tackling language barriers, and making the most of your travel adventures. Whether you're gearing up for your own study abroad experience or just curious about the different living options, this episode is packed with valuable insights and personal anecdotes that will help you make an informed decision. Tune in to hear Kat's stories, advice, and a few laughs along the way.
It's not just about choosing a place to stay; it's about creating a home away from home.
