Which public music university in Chile is truly respected?

I'm researching public music universities and conservatories in Chile.

I'm not looking for rankings or famous names. I'd rather hear from Chileans who know the local music scene.

I'm trying to find a place that:

Is public and affordable.

Accepts international students.

Is respected by local musicians.

Has strong composition, performance, music production, or Chilean traditional music.

Has a strong music community outside the classroom.

I'd also like to know:

Which city would you recommend for a music student?

Is it possible for an international student to be admitted?

How difficult is the admission process?

Are there scholarships or affordable tuition for foreigners?

Which school would you personally choose, and why?

I'm interested in real local experience rather than rankings.
