I am going to study in Medellin from Jan 2010 to May and thinking about the housing. Mainly I'd like to ask some information about the areas of the city. Another exchange student told me that she wanted to live close to the EAFIT university as it's safe and well, close to the uni of course, but that's also an expensive area. Am I right that this is also pretty close to Parque Lleras?
What about the city centre then? And since I'm of course going out a lot, what would be a good location partywise? Or does that matter so much? What other locations are good for partying excet Parque Lleras?
I know it's not very useful to plan too much ahead, but I'd rather have some kind of overall picture of the areas since they seem to vary a lot, so I wont be fooled that easily.
