Universidad de Cantabria (UC)

Universidad de Cantabria, Avda. Los Castros, s/n, 39005 Santander, Spain
4.29 / 5 based on 138 reviews.
Description:
The University of Cantabria is a young public university, created by a Decree passed on the 18th of August, 1972. Until then, university education in Santander was limited to the courses offered by The School of Civil Engineering, established in 1966, and the specialism in Physics in the Faculty of Science, which had been created in 1969. Both the School and the Faculty were dependent on The University of Valladolid. The establishment of Santander as an independent University dates from 1971. Two years later, The Faculty of Medicine was set up, the new Faculty of Science building was inaugurated and The University Colleges of Industrial Engineering, Business Studies, the College of Mining Engineering in Torrelavega and The Teacher Training School were incorporated.

Personal comments:
Well Malaespina is a bar not to be missed, however, they changed the dj recently so it´s not as good. Always start off in plaza Cañadio with the erasmus people and you know you have had a big night out if you end up at BNS (Buenas noches Santander).

Thursdays at Malaspina or BNS, but also Terminal Sur and Floridita for nice fresh drinks and Rubicon for the atmosphere any day of the week. Go to plaza cañadio on your way out on town, have a caña and mingle a bit if the weather is nice.

Bhengala was my favorite bar on calle Santa Lucia. Everything began in Plaza Cañadio and spread from there. BNS was an amazing beachfront nightclub with windows that looked out right on the shore.

Plaza Cañadio is a classic, at the beginning everyone went there, sometimes it gets a little monotonous and one tries to look for something else. Parties at the beach are awesome.
