11. Camplus Turro(Milan, Italy)




Milan’s Camplus Turro can accommodate up to 165 students each, all of which can get to university very swiftly thanks to the metro station adjacent to the residence.

Here, you’ll have a chance to relax and study in its internal garden, or go for a run in the nearby Parco della Martesana.

Olympic Village(Munich, Germany).





Yes, Munich’s Olympic Village is now a dedicated neighbourhood for student housing.

You might think that it’s old, but everything is brand new. Due to its ageing conditions, the entire village was torn down and rebuilt between 2007-09, and is now a modern hub for the city’s students.

There are over 1800 apartments in the Olympic Village, so there really is a great sense of an immense community, where everyone is a student.

Residencia Galdós(Madrid, Spain)



Right on the edge of the Ciudad Universitaria of Madrid, the Residencia Galdós is the best place for students to stay in the capital of Spain.

Up to 370 students can stay at Galdós, and we’re sure that each and every one of them will have the time of their life in this accommodation.

8. Willow Street Residence Hall(New Orleans, USA).




Tulane University’s Willow Street Residences can house up to 318 students in four separate buildings.

It was built on the site of New Orleans’ old Sugar Bowl Stadium, and these halls of residence have been created to bring back the collegiate spirit to the area.

Of course, being in New Orleans, you can always count on the city’s jazzy vibe to ensure you will have fun at all times.

7. Simmons Hall, MIT (Cambridge, USA)



Just by looking at Simmons Hall, you can tell how awesome it must be to live here.

There are several other cool residences across MIT’s campus grounds, but this one is truly unique.

It really does have everything you need for guaranteed fun, a ball pit and a scooter hockey field…

6. Basket Apartments (Paris, France)



Another innovative idea for student housing coming from France, the Basket Apartments.

On the edge of Parc de la Villette in the 19th Arrondissement, this residence’s design resembles that of a wooden basket.

There are 192 studios all of which have a balcony and getting to the centre of Paris couldn’t be easier.

The Metro stops right outside

Spacebox (Utrecht, Netherlands)



Utrecht’s Spacebox is a residence that comes in a rainbow of colours.

There are over 300 units around the University of Utrecht’s campus grounds, as well as several leisure rooms and sports facilities all following the Spacebox’s colourful theme.

4. Cité a Docks (Le Havre, France)


How does living in a block of shipping containers sound?

Just take a look at this student residence in France and tell us it isn’t a lot cooler than you thought.

Each of its 100 containers has its own studio, and there’s always plenty of light shining through.

3. Casa dell’Accademia(Mendrisio,Switzerland).



Up in the Swiss Alps, this residence probably has one of the best views in the world.

Housing up to 72 students attending Mendrisio’s Academy of Architecture, it only makes sense that every single detail of the symmetrical buildings is carefully thought out.

2. Chapter Living, Spitalfields(London, UK)


Right in the heart of London, this residence in Spitalfields is the perfect place to experience London at its fullest.

Close to several universities, the residence is also near the artsy hotspot of Shoreditch,where there is always something cool going on.

1. Tietgenkollegiet(Copenhagen, Denmark)


The Tietgen Residence Hall aims to foster a lively community thanks to its circular shape.

The residence houses 400 students, and there is a kitchen for every 12 rooms further cultivating the sense of community.

Shoebox-rooms and halls of residence that look like prisons are a thing of the past.

There have been some awesome student residences built in the last few years.

Checkout 12 of the coolest student residences in the world.

Tourist revenues are a significant source of income for a country.

Many factors promote the tourist visitation of a place.

Flyers, print media, television ads, and even giant billboards sell tourist attractions and tourist destinations.

Many countries promote the unique natural beauty of their tourist attractions as summer vacation destinations.

These may be beaches or national parks.

Cultural destinations, museums, gardens and historic structures are being advertised as tourist destinations.

Legendary places, arts and crafts communities, ethnic communities, island resorts, landmarks, haunted places, and even UFO crash sites are also marketed with the same intent.

chukxie:
Funny assertion! Did you say "valueless and life worthless"? Do you have any idea how many tickets are sold daily for people to get on that bridge? Do you really think the Chinese are like our government that lack creative ways of making money? There are a million and one tourist attractions in China with lots of them having triple 'A' rating. Some tourist spots are in far flung villages that could have been languishing in poverty if the government has not harnessed the tourism potentials in them. China, although a communist country has got visionary leaders something we lack in this part of the world.

90% of Nigerians/Africans are with this mentality of going to school, getting a job, go to work&come back home for 35yrs and die.

We don't believe in tourism, sight seeing, exploring nature and stuff like that.

If we say this is uselss to the Chinese, then we can say the disney park in U.S. is also worthless to them too despite generating million of dollars for the country every year.

To us roller coaster is valueless and dangerous, but to the Americans, it's part of them.

Gemc3:
I can NOT go close to that thing!

Lol....Imagine ur hubby driving you to this place with your eyes covered.

You're already at the middle of the bridge and he removes what's covering your eyes.

Flashh:
This had been online for years now.

No, except these ones.
