Colegios Mayores Universitarios
The Colegios Mayores are University Centers that, integrated in the University, they provide residence to the students and they promote the cultural and scientific formation of the residents, projecting their activity to the service of the university community “(L.O.U. : Organic Law for Universities)
They are not just halls of residence, but also offer their resident students a comprehensive and extensive range of cultural and leisure activities and in many cases a complementary academic life. Social life is very intense in the Colegios Mayores.

History:History:
The Colegios Mayores are institutions which have a long tradition behind them in Spanish university life. Their origins go back to the thirteenth century (XIII), when it became necessary to find accommodation for those students who, coming from all over the country, came to certain Spanish towns to try to find out what it would be like living together in groups. As time went on, those residences acquired a much greater importance; in some cases, they became the basis of the University. In other cases, they became cultural entities which were more important than the university itself.
