I really like my degree and my university, because is what i always wanted to do. I am finishing this year, and I have to say that I imporved a lot about language and literature. I studied ine year abroad, in Poland, and this made me also more curious about foreign countries.

I think Santiago is a good city for a student. My experience in the university is good. In my opinion, it could be a bit more practical, but I´m happy with the lessons in general.
