Universidad de Jaén
speciality: Engineering

I’m dropping you a quick line to summarize my experience studying Computer Engineering at the EPSJ (University of Jaén):

The Pros: It’s all about the proximity. Since it’s not a massive campus, professors actually know your name, and getting help at the A3 building is easy. The student community is great too—we all help each other survive those nightmare programming assignments.

The Challenge: I won’t lie, it’s tough. First-year Math and Computer Architecture are real “filter” subjects. You’ll spend a lot of time in the library, but at least the labs and facilities are top-notch.

Campus Life: Las Lagunillas is very convenient, though you’ll have to get used to the “UJA wind.” Luckily, the cheap and amazing tapas in Jaén make up for every single bug in your code.

Verdict: If you want solid tech training, a personal touch, and an unbeatable cost of living, this is the place. It’s a grind, but it’s worth it.
