Cost of Living
The cost of living in Marbella can vary significantly depending on the student´s lifestyle. Compared to other European cities, where living space is scarce and often overpriced for its standards, Marbella can be a very affordable place to live. Living expenses such as food, leisure, utilities, and transportation can comfortably be covered with 500€ per month.

House or Apartment Rental
Student Accommodation in Marbella
MIUC’s Accommodation Department works with accredited real estate agents to find properties that best match the student's budget and requirements. When renting a property in Marbella or the surrounding areas it is important to take the following into consideration:
The duration of a standard long term rental contract is of 11 months and most landlords require a one or two month deposit. The commission charged by the estate agent for their services will be of a month’s rent.
The difficulty of finding a property significantly increases during the months prior to and during the summer season so to fully benefit from this option, it is advisable for students to inform us of their requirements as early as possible before their course begins in September or February.
