studying as a foreigner student in my own country

my experience, i can tell it was an excellent opportunity for me to grow in all aspects in my life, i had great teachers all doctors and experienced, i learned form all of them, its not just classes, they also encourage you to be better and to find your own way, all the theoretical and practical aspects were very day a day examples and situations that can really happen so they prepare you for the real world. i lived 2 years online because of covid and the rest was at the campus, i might say they can improve more in the practical area, have more experiments done and so. but over all, the projects that you have to make at the end of each month was the real proof of your learning and i think the most important activity of all, because they give you the tools to start thinking in more critical and analytical ways. so that is something i will always carry.

The life of an FCB student at UANL

I really like my faculty, in general the curriculum and facilities are excellent, the only thing that if I don't like it is that there are some professors with whom it is difficult to deal or who evaluate badly (I clarify that they are not all, they are only some ), and another thing that I would like the university to implement in general is to provide the students with computer and computer equipment, in a pandemic many of us had to borrow laptops that we will soon have to return, I would like there to be a kind of raffle, outside of that's all excellent

Foreigner’s adventure

My experience as a student has been an adventure, I started being a foreigner in another state of Mexico in the course of the COVID pandemic, with which I realized that I like to explore things for myself and as I advanced in the career I was told about these wonderful laboratories around the world and how hospitals work differently and more effectively than in Mexico and that only fueled my curiosity more to want to get out of the box, although it could be better this time studying a master's degree because I already have experience living alone, I have no doubt that it would be a completely different adventure from that of the career.
