Your shortlist

Three cities that fit what you said

A starting point for the comparison, not a recommendation.

Four of nine rows are sourced, plus the transit fare: budget and fares from Numbeo, safety from the Numbeo index, climate from 1991 to 2020 normals, travel from airport statistics. The rows tagged Mock data are placeholders until the student survey runs.

Picked one? Here is what happens next.

The comparison stops at the decision. The city app takes it from there: a room, the groups that meet, where students actually eat and train, weekends that fit a budget, and your programme dates. It is live for Bilbao while we get one city right.
