My experience studying English at university

Learning English has always been one of my goals, since childhood. A language I find it very interesting, useful and practical for my future aspirations. Not for nothing is the international language we all speak and we should talk.

It is for this reason that when I finished school enters a school to improve my knowledge. I spent a whole year in that school, but then I had to leave because they enter college. The first year of college English courses had not, so my language learning period looked stalled for lack of time and opportunities. But by the second year of my career, we reported that impart compulsory English courses. The fact that they were required was not a problem for me because it's true that I really like the language.

We took a test at the beginning of that year so we know which level (there are levels I through IV). Actually I found that the test was complicated, the downside was that I ran out of time to respond. Anyway, the result was not bad. Left in level II, so the course would begin in August 2008.

At the beginning of level II, found that it was very easy, it must be because they still had some prior knowledge. But over time I realized that I knew so much, and it was complicating the course, although I must admit that the teacher was very unfair to the notes. But nevertheless I passed the course with an acceptable note. But I really liked it.

Even in first half of 2009 I studied English III and has been the best English course I did. Professor Laura Castillo, was a well motivated, enthusiastic and committed to their students. She managed the whole course was always attentive and happy to go to class.

In late 2009, I had to attend English IV, but I must admit I took it out of obligation since, on issues of time was not going to take another year.

As a conclusion could be said that English courses serve as the foundation for learning the language. But just that, not as you think the rest of the teachers who give us an advanced English papers, which do not possess and the university does not give us the opportunity to learn.

Faculty of Social Sciences


In the Faculty of Social Sciences, there are a lot of students, but very little infrastructure. There are about 2500 students, and only one library with nine computers and ten tables of study. Something unusual if we believe that our university is the best of the country.


Obviously we must improve the library, classrooms and the canteen (because is too small). Look, the canteen in a normal day, its impossible lunch in peace, when you have to wait for tables to become vacant.


Something good happened this year in our university; in the faculty was implementing an improved computer room, where now "almost" everybody can use computers without having to fight for one.


About sports, very interesting topic for me, I can say a lot of things that I believe could assist their improvement. For example, the basketball courts are made of cement, something, which is very dangerous if we consider that basketball is a physical contact sport.


I think the improvements are available to us, as students and as an institution. The only thing we need is better management of economic resources which have, thus we could improve what was mentioned above; the canteen, library, computer room and open spaces for sports.


But despite all this, I really like my faculty
