Personal recommendation
The university is not very big, so you have a nice atmosphere and will get to know people easily. Before starting a course you should take attention that the courses are held in a different way than in other countries.

Final comments
Murcia is a nice town that offers a stay at low expenses. But one should be aware that people from Murcia tend to be quiete conservative. Night life is good and there are many cultural things to see. Have fun!

It is easy to learn spanish because usually people do not use to speak english easily. Of course you can always speak english with the international students if you prefer.

Personal comments
Usually students in Murcia look for housing by themselves. That's why I can't give any comment about housing at this university.
