The biggest problem is that with the current offer of student accommodation, the academic, professional and emotional performance of the students is being affected by problems such as living together, participate in many parties leaving aside the study or the lack of empathy on the part of the student housing administrators. This increases the students level of stress, mental health issues and takes them away from their personal goals.

We offer recognition for good academic performance, we promote moments of self-knowledge and sefl-control, we work to reduce the rates of stress, depression and seek to increase motivation.In addition, we offer academic tools, such as books, boards, study tables and we also offer spaces for relaxation.

the need for student recidivism has been growing as governments include more educational offerings and ease of access for students who live far from universities. It is estimated that each semester the number of students seeking student housing grows by 1.25%.
