San Clemente Dormitory

During the Second Spanish Republic, the then dean of the university, Alejandro Rodríguez Cadarso, brought about the construction of five student dormitories.

Due to lack of funds, only three of those were built: Colegios Mayores Fonseca (1963), Rodríguez Cadarso(1940) y San Clemente(1942).

Besides the activities organized by the scholarships, the San Clemente Culture Association, formed by members of the Dormitory, holds conferences during the month of March.

It also gives the "Galician person of the year" award, which Ernesto Chao, Avelino Pousa Antelo or Marilar Aleixandre have recently received.

A tradition of this dormitory is to have two weeks in the year with plenty of activities, competitions, dinners and parties.
