They live in our residence in Sant Cugat and they not only study the same degree, but also share a room. The discipline and passion they feel for architecture is turning this stage of their life into an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n<p>Santiago is from Valencia and Jaume of Castell\u00f3n, both met and started studying architecture at the University of Valencia.\u00a0 After two years, they decided to continue studying together, but this time the chosen destination was Barcelona. Mainly, for two reasons: the greater amount of hours dedicated to projects during the degree and the fact of living a different experience, studying in another university.<\/p>\n<p>They are sure that the decision they made was the right one, even with all the \u2018pro\u2019s and \u2018con\u2019s\u2019 that this has meant and what it takes to change cities and universities. Nevertheless, an important part of this good adaptation and experience is due to the fact that they have found in our university residence, a pleasant and welcoming place to live while this new period passes for them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpex-vc-row-wrap clr\">\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpex-vc-columns-wrap clr\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner wpex-clr\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpex-vc-column-wrapper wpex-clr \">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>As to why they chose Unihabit, they tell us that the proximity to the university was a determining factor and because they liked that each room was like an apartment with everything necessary to have a good stay, while studying a career in which you have to work hard and dedicate many hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpex-vc-row-wrap clr\">\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpex-vc-columns-wrap clr\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner wpex-clr\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpex-vc-column-wrapper wpex-clr \">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1578908552705\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:calc( 1200px + 0px );margin-left: calc(-0px \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-0px \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:0px;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:0px;--awb-spacing-left-medium:0px;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:0px;--awb-spacing-left-small:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>Getting along with your roommate is a key factor in advancing your studies and they know and execute them perfectly.

When Jaume cooks, I clean the room. That way, while one cooks, the other one organizes and in this way we make progress; although we usually clean and tidy the room together on weekends\u201d, said Santiago.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if they could imagine living with a different partner, they both said they couldn\u2019t imagine it. Jaume pointed out that he does not see himself with another roommate. \u201cWe are so used to each other, that it would be difficult\u201d and jokingly concludes \u201cBetter the bad known than the new to know\u201d. Making reference that he prefers to be with his partner, before living with a new one.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about what they do to disconnect from so much study, they say that it is a little difficult for them to disconnect, but they try to do so by taking walks, reading books and above all by sharing what is perhaps their favorite hobby: going to the cinema.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth
