A new academic year starts at the university after a well-deserved holiday. There are many smiles and reunions, dinners and evenings at the seashore to explain that summer sunset.

The new season also entails new obligations, new plans to make and new parties to celebrate such as the passage of Ecuador, welcome parties or evenings in the library to prepare for exams at the end of the semester. From the Unihabit residences we give you essential advice for a good return to the university:

The magic recipe: the best coffee shops

Recharging the batteries is very important, especially in periods when nights are long and mornings come too early. That’s why from the Unihabit residences we propose you different cafeterias in Barcelona, Sant Cugat and Girona, where you can share space and time with your friends:

Movies at the cinema

Disconnect is also key and theater and culture are the best plans to do so during the week and on Saturdays and Sundays. Take a walk, have dinner, and go see one of those movies of your favorite actors, directors or musicians, either with original or translated version.
