"Living at Livensa Studios San Sebastián was the best thing about my university years. You're 11 minutes on foot from Tecnun; a bike gets you to La Concha in 15 minutes, and the pintxos in the Parte Vieja are your Friday dinner. There is no better city to study in Spain.

"Musikene is 10 minutes on foot, and the music rooms at Livensa are perfect for rehearsing. The atmosphere in Ibaeta is peaceful and authentic, and the views of the mountain from the terrace are incredible. A truly unique experience."
