I was fortunate enough to study in Salamanca in 2004. This city is one of the best places in Europe. It is quaint and historic-it has the oldest university in Spain. The sites are unbelievable. If you are a student pondering whether to choose Salamanca or another Spanish city, trust me-CHOOSE SALAMANCA. The nightlife is indescribable and it is mostly a university town, so you will not be alone!
