Universidad de Chile is one of the most important and older institutions of further education in our country. The university is divided into about ten campus. I study in Juan Gomez Mllas, one of the most loved because the university life there is great, supposedly. JGM is located in Ñuñoa, in a place known as “Cordón Macul”, where is Universidad Tecnológica Metropolitana y la Universidad Metropolitana de las Ciencias de la Educación.

Campus Juan Gomez Millas is formed of four faculties (Filosofía y Humanidades, Ciencias Sociales, Artes y Ciencias) and Instituto de la Comunicación e Imagen (ICEI). Each of them has its own places and they are surrounded by green areas, which is a characteristic of the place, although every time there are less because new buildings in construction.

Universidad de Chile is a public institution with pluralistic and inclusive policy, or it is what authorities usually say, but most of students are from an elitist part of the Chilean society (in intellectual or economical terms).

If I have to talk about something positive of Universidad de Chile, it could be about the reputation of having “Universidad de Chile” in your curriculum and maybe some good teachers that really teach you.

In the negative part, I don’t like some students and teachers who act like they are the best of the country. Also I think in Chile are more guys that want to entry to Universidad de Chile and they couldn’t because they didn’t have better opportunities in this classist society.

Finally, I have to say that I don’t think that going to university is a big thing. I think there are more interesting things to do in your life instead studying in further education, but it is a way of life the system doesn’t accept and I am part of this, sadly.
