Experience in Jaén, Spain by Carmen

What do you think about living in Jaén? Do you recommend it? How is it?

I like Jaén a lot. I think it's a good city to study, it's very quiet. Its climate is hard to withstand but, eventually, you get used to everything. For me, it's a beautiful city I didn't know but I got to know it pretty well as I studied at the higher conservatory of Music. I recommend it!

How is the student atmosphere in Jaén?

Very good.
