I will rather live in a hotter part of the country like Malaga or Seville where the rents are cheaper but I am worried about job opportunities .

Are you coming for study or visit, if for study I would recommend Malaga,cost of housing and sturdy are much cheaper there.

If it is for work, then it is better you stick to Madrid

I hope I find a place to stay while looking for a job.
I am also hoping the government will assist the housing costs.

But I have no idea of Spanish welfare system.

the Spanish wellfare system differs from area to area but the general requirements are that you must have lived in your locality for a period of not less than a year,be ed on the census, must be a legal resident.

Hi Ollins, please can you tell me about the Asturias Family accommodation program at the universidad de Oviedo? Would you recommend it?

It's a program where international students are placed with Asturias familiy who accommodate and feed them in return for a token from the govt.

Are there any other cheaper accommodation options?. thanks
