What our students said about Salamanca
Even though I was there for two months, I only went out in the evening about ten times, and my impression is that the city is extremely safe. The central area is very lively, even close to midnight. There are also many events held in the squares and churches, so I believe there is plenty of entertainment available. Early in the morning, cleaning vehicles run throughout the city, keeping everything very clean. There are also many wonderful bars and cafés to explore.
We didn't use public transportation in the city, but it was difficult to find tickets for the train via the website. It turns out that there may be tickets available for purchase at the train station that you can't see on the website. We therefore had to take a costly detour when we booked tickets before departure.
For me, Salamanca is fascinating because of the architecture and art, the living and present history everywhere, the tradition and the university (academic) atmosphere. Plus a lot of different events. So on a day-to-day basis, I think it's a place where you can live an easy, relaxed and enjoyable life.
Salamanca was awesome! It was big enough that there was lots to do, but small enough that it was easy to navigate and also very safe. The climate was also wonderful – dry but very summery!
I love a smaller city, so for me Salamanca was great! It was safe, cheap and super beautiful! If you'd prefer a bigger city with more nightlife/activities than I'd maybe not recommend it.
I had only seen pictures of the city, so I didn't actually get to know much of it until I got there. It is an interesting city with a lot of history and proud people.
Salamanca has a very interesting old university and public library to wonder through with amazement, as do most cities in Europe. Salamanca is not near a beach.
It's a beautiful small city. The only areas I haven't commented on are ones where I've not been sufficiently engaged in to form an opinion.
Everything within walking distance. Never took the bus. There was a party in the first 2 weeks of September. That was also brilliant.
It's definitely worth staying in this city for a few days at least once to get a feel for the city's atmosphere and sightseeing.

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Salamanca

I think the school is good for people who need Spanish for academic or professional reasons. For people who enjoy Spanish and need it for everyday life or for travelling, the school is too rigid and doesn’t teach you what you actually need in everyday life.
Having to buy a textbook for EUR 45 even if you're only staying for a week is a bit much.

All the teachers and coordinators were very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The other participants were also very welcoming, even though some of them were at a higher level. The topics we covered were interesting as well. It was important to me that I was able to actually practice speaking Spanish.
The school has a very competent and friendly staff.

It is a somewhat smaller school, but this meant that the lessons were very individual. There were only 4 of us and we studied very intensively. The teachers in particular were very committed, friendly and fun.
