Pontífica Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC)

That my Spanish knowledge was required at this level, I would have taken an intensive language course for 1-2 months before the start at PUC - maybe down here to get accustomed to the somewhat hard to understand/get used to Chilean accent/slang!

One important aspect, which we are not accustomed to - at least not from Denmark - is the “controles” that professors at PUC more or less frequently use to test the students and their work - both for undergraduate and MBA-courses! The controles (and maybe a midterm test) are check-ups on whether the students do their homework, and you will often be required to repeat material, lectures and literature (although some controles may be more challenging, e.g. “control de casos”). Don’t worry, the controles are not impossible, and even though the Chilean students can spend days and nights on one single case, the questions asked in the controles are quite fair and accessible if you read the text or case at hand… However, you may to some extent find yourself studying more to memorize and to pass the next control than to actually remember, relate and apply the class material…

Not really.

Wide range of courses available. Prestigious university.

More about football, they are big fans and I had no idea, and for them it seemed weird sometimes.

Its a great university, learn as much as you can from the proffesors, and don't be afraid to ask anyone of the university for help, they are very helpful and want to help exchange students.

No, it was suprising in a lot of different ways.

It's great to understand that your life dipend on a lot of different dimensions, and you have to look at all of them, if you want to develop at human scale.

They can provide more housing info and offer more classes for international students with english

Taxi drivers like to rip you off. Get your visa before you get there. The bureaucracy in that country is dreadful. Its much quicker and less painful to do it in your home country.

It is one of the most prestigious universities in Chile. It's very conservative.
