The monthly fee applies for eight months, October 2026 to May 2027, and September, June and July are charged by days used. A mini-fridge costs €11.77 a month on request.
- Deposit: €850, which confirms the place and covers damage or leaving early. Any balance is refunded at the end of the year.
- 2026-27 applications: phase A ran from 1 to 30 June 2026 for UV students or prospective students, and phase B to 17 July 2026 at 14:00 for others. These dates have passed, but offers continue from the waiting list in strict order if places become free.
Other residences
The UPV directory lists 38 residences and colegios mayores, 35 of them in Valencia. The starting prices it shows for the Valencia residences run from €270 to €990 a month, and the page tells you to contact each centre to confirm places and current prices. The directory shows €324 for Rector Peset, which does not match the college’s own price page above, so rely on the college’s page and treat the directory as a pointer, not a price list.
Renting a room
Spotahome’s Q2 2026 index (April to June) gives a median Valencia room rent of €424 a month, up 3.4 percent on a year earlier. It uses medians of listings that received booking requests, so it reflects platform demand rather than every room on the market. The OCU room study I used for Madrid and Barcelona does not cover Valencia.
Colegio mayor or rented room?
| Question | Rector Peset | Rented room |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | €847 to €1,073 with full board (UV students) | €424 median, with food and bills on top |

| Period | October to May, eight monthly fees | Set by your contract, so read the term |
I have not ranked neighbourhoods or listed private blocks, because I could not verify prices or area details against reliable sources. View any room in person or on a live video call, and never pay before you have a written contract.
