Are there still places at the university? Find a residence if you start in September

Did you receive the grade later or have you decided to take the step at the last minute? You’re not the only one. Every year, many students wonder if they can still get into college in September. The answer is yes: some universities still have places for late enrolment, and you still have time to find a residence.

Are universities saving places for September?

Yes, but not all and not for all degrees. After the second allocation in July, there is a period of reassignments and extraordinary enrolment in September, where the uncovered places are available again.

Check Canal Universitats if the degree you are interested in still has vacancies: universitats.gencat.cat

Please note:

• These are surplus places, so the offer is limited.
• The most in-demand options (such as Medicine or double degrees) are usually covered in July.
• There are more options in humanities, social sciences, education, or specific engineering degrees.

How to access a place in September?

1. Complementary pre-enrolment: Some universities open a new call in September.
2. Direct contact with the university: If you are interested in a specific degree, call or write to find out if there are any vacancies.
3. Access by change of studies or previous degree: Some places are covered by students who access by other means.

Are you still in time to find a residence?

Yes, but as with places, in September there is already a lot of pent-up demand. Here’s how to do it quickly and well.

1. Prioritize residences with available places

Many residences have waiting lists. Resest is a particularly recommended option if you are going to study in Sabadell or its surroundings: it is well located, designed for students and with an active university atmosphere. In addition, you can check availability and make your reservation in advance from the website.

2. Look for alternatives: flats and rooms

If you can’t find a residence, you can search for:

• Explore shared flats near campus.
• Consider rooms in families or other students that offer temporary or permanent accommodation.

3. Keep in mind…

• Rent only with a contract.
• Look at public transit connections.
• Make a video call if you can’t visit earlier.
• Avoid paying for reservations without guarantees.

Recommendation: move fast

Whether it’s to get into college in September or find a place to live, the most important thing is to act quickly. There are options, but the places sell out quickly. Resest can be your ideal starting point to get off to a good start: safe accommodation, a young atmosphere and a strategic location.

The universities do save places for September, but not for everything. If you’ve decided to start college now, don’t stand still. Check the available vacancies, contact the centre and look for a residence as soon as possible. You still have time to start this course on the right foot!
