Well the best part of living in this city is the proximity; everything is near another one. Although is a cozy city, it is in fact the seventh biggest city in Spain and you realise it when you go out to have fun.

In Murcia there are some points for Erasmus students, some clubs where international parties take place from Wednesday to Friday. Being a student in Murcia is a good decision.
