Focus, balance and friendships made easy.

Study room, Granada

Let’s see if we can help you find the perfect studio

Your studio in Spain & the Netherlands

All-in-one, life made easy

Be part of a community

This is where balance
meets ambition.

Student life isn't just something that happens between lectures. It's the people you meet during your study break in the lounge. The morning you actually made it to the gym. The evening that turned into something you'll talk about for years.

That's what Student Experience is built around. Studios with all-inclusive access to everything you need: study rooms, a gym, rooftop sports facilities, unforgettable events and a community that makes it easy to connect. Across four cities: Amsterdam, Leiden, Madrid and Granada. Each location is different. Wherever you land, you're looked after.

Your studies. Your life. Your people. All in one place.

What our residents are saying.

I have lived in many student complexes before, but the facilities at Student Experience Granada—ranging from electric vehicle charging to a massive pool and a modern, fully equipped gym—top them all by far, and add to experiencing beautiful Andalusia.

Student Experience is a residence with a familiar and entertaining environment where both the residents and the staff have welcomed me excellently. Additionally, the facilities offered by the residence are magnificent, with a fully sustainable building that includes a recycling room and numerous solar panels.

The facilities we share like pool and darts make it very lively. But the own living space means you can focus when needed. And you can make a peanut butter sandwich at 3AM without disturbing anyone. ;)

I really like living here because you can easily make friends. Especially when you are on the basketball court, in the gym or in the game corner.

The duty managers who look after the building are really nice. For example when I request a repair and book a time slot, they are always very punctual and try to repair it very well. Good service!

Everyone at Student Experience is very open and social. Together you share a really big home because of all the extra areas in the building. You will have the best time here!

Imagine living at the heart of innovation, business and trends but still having the carefree attitude and freedom of a student. This is the prestige Student Experience Amsterdam Zuidas provides us. And I wish I could just live here beyond my student life!

There are multiple ways in which Student Experience helps to improve my student life. The cleaning really saves up time by getting that done, and this way, I have more time to enjoy my exchange here, more time for school, and more time to make friends.

My neighbours became my best friends. I also got a lot of inspiration from the building which I live in, I even made an artbook about it.
