And it is great for your professional future life, once you add another language and it can be very valuable. We know that some languages can be more difficult to learn than others, but remember that you are living in a Student Residence that most probably has a lot of native speakers of the country you chose that can help you learn their language!
3. Learn other languages
At a Student Residence, it’s a lot common to find people from other countries, and once you’re done step 1 you can check new words from another language.
For example, we recommend that you ask to learn another language and you also teach your own! These exchanges can be a lot of fun, and a great moment of sharing and making a strong friendship!
Also, you can always make casual conversations in other languages, and you can add it to your curriculum, which makes this experience also valuable to your professional future.
4. Discover the city with another student
Studying abroad is a great opportunity to discover a new city and its culture! And it can be a lot of fun if you do it with somebody that also doesn’t know anything about it. During the summer or winter you always have a lot of possibilities to make plans with your new friends: go to walk through the entire city, go to museums, discover the history of the country where you’re studying, etc.
Our suggestion? Join a group of students that want to discover the city you’re studying in, and spend an amazing time!

This is probably the most important benefit of living in a Student Residence: pay the rent and nothing else! At Hubr Xior residences, you pay your rent and you get: a room with a private bathroom, a shared kitchen with other students or choose a room with your own, watch Netflix for free, exercise at the residence’s gym, and pay nothing else for this features!

6. Get to travel to more places
When you make friends from all over the world, you have a home all over the world, right? So, listen to their stories about their hometown, and then go on a trip to visit all your friends, get to know their culture at its fullest, the cities and other friends, and explore the world.
