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

Adverts around the city.
How are the accommodation prices? And the prices in general?
The accommodation prices are relatively accessible and so are the prices in general, because lots of students live there.

Throughout the whole city there are little places where you can eat good tapas. In the centre there are also good restaurants where you can have paella.
And in terms of cultural visits?
There are lots of things to see and visit, you definitely have to visit the cathedral. It's worth it!

Get to know the city, visit everything you can, try the typical food, and experience the nights. Make the most of it because it will go very quickly!
