Why are our international students so satisfied with our on-site studies?
Our school's award-winning education is undoubtedly a crucial part of this satisfaction. But beyond the classroom, we are aware that ENAE Business School is fortunate to be located in one of Spain's treasures: Murcia.
For international students, Murcia presents itself as an ideal destination, full of advantages beyond academics. In this article, we explore why Murcia should be your first choice when considering studying in Spain and how the city compares favourably with other cities in the country.
Quality of Life in Murcia
Cost of Living
One of the first considerations for any international student is the cost of living. Compared to other Spanish cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, Murcia offers a more affordable lifestyle without sacrificing quality. According to the Numbeo Cost of Living Index, living in Murcia is approximately 30% cheaper than in Madrid and 25% cheaper than in Barcelona. Food, transport and other daily expenses are also lower than in other Spanish cities, allowing students to enjoy a good quality of life on a more affordable budget.
To facilitate accommodation, ENAE Business School has a limited number of places available at SVK Home in La Flota, a residence for international students in Murcia.
Climate and Nature
Murcia is known for its Mediterranean climate, with more than 300 days of sunshine a year and an average annual temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. This pleasant climate not only improves your mood, but also allows you to enjoy outdoor activities all year round. The region has beautiful natural sites (Marqués fountains) and the best beaches of the Mediterranean Sea.
Culture
The city of Murcia offers a rich cultural experience. Visit the beautiful Cathedral of Murcia. Visit the Real Casino de Murcia, a jewel of modernism. Enjoy a stroll through the Floridablanca Garden, the Salzillo Museum. You can go to the Puente de los Peligros bridge over the Segura River or relax in the Plaza de las Flores, ideal to taste the local gastronomy in its numerous terraces.
