Would you recommend the city and the University of Lugo to other students?

I have lived very well in Lugo, even if initially I wasn't really convinced because it is a very small city, and I've got used to greater cities, the university in reality is not really the maximum, I don't know if it's a problem of the education system in Spain, because I don't like so much the method of study that they use, but the professors are really kind!
