Personal comments
It was hard in the very beginning.I did not have good Spanish foundation, and moreover, it was really a difficult language for me. I lost some chances to practise more for there are a lot students were talking with me in English. However, I can understand, read and write with this language now with ease.

Academic
Course recommendations
This universtity is said as one of the best university in Latin America. It is famous of plenty of homeworks, which as a student studying for a double degree program, I tasted the bitter part. And moreover, the courses could be more diverse.

Personal comments
I have been here almost 10 months. I have done almost 64 exams, (excluding some suprising exams), around 20 presentations,more than one hunderd homeworks. I do understand that homework and exam are the key for students to solid their new-learned knowedge. However, maybe it would be better that students got time to concentrate on mastering less topic than just doing homeworks for finishing homeworks, doing exmas just for passing exams. Nevertheless, I have to admite that I study rather more courses than that of average students.
