Can someone tell me about Medellin, Colombia?

Question

Im thinking of taking Spanish classes at EAFIT.

How is the city? Is it safe? nightlife?

Or is Bogota a better choice?

Answer 1

Yes Medellin IS a smaller city than Bogota, but is safer and transportation is much better. The nightlife in Medellin just got hotter since the biggest nightclub in S. America just opened there, Palmahia, it can fit up to 3,000 ppl and has different music rooms. Bogota is beautiful and big but Medellin has that smaller city charm in a booming metropolis. EAFIT university is one of themost prestigious in Colombia and S. America. Either wasy wherever you go in Colombia is beautiful and safer than what it was 5 yrs ago. Medellin is a great choice!

Answer 2

Hi, I live in Colombia and live in Bogota and also have been in Medellin. Here's what I think

1. EAFIT is one of the best universities in the country and Colombian College education is internationally recognized as top quality. So if you are thinking about going there you won't waste your money.

2. Medellin is a small city, everything is about 20 mins away, has a Metro, lots of cultural places, nice weather all year round and has the most beautiful women of Colombia. Almost every famous colombian model - they are the top in latinamerican together with the argentinians- lives in there, so if you are a guy you will love it.

3. Night life in Medellin just like anyother town, someplaces were you can hung out and the most popular are pretty safe, some other aren't, you will just have to watch who you become buddies with and places you go.

4. Bogota is a 7 million inhabitant city, cold weather, super nice people, lots & lots of things to do, of course everything happens here, lots of beautiful women too, major concerts from world known artist are held here. The best place where you can study spanish in Bogota is in Universidad Externado de Colombia, which is one of the finest in the country and they have a great language learning center. Google it and check their website.

Hope I helped.
