“Formación algo anticuada”
Sofía P
Spain,
Journalism, 2023
Overall
Considero que la transformación digital es un fenómeno realmente importante a día de hoy, por ello creo que es necesario que en la universidades el profesorado empiece a dar clases que tengan que ver con el mundo digital, en vez de ser tan negacionistas y negativos hacia las nuevas tecnologías.
Las carreras se quedan anticuadas, la forma de aprender ya no es memorizando, y no terminan de entender esto.

Careers
La carrera tiene una plataforma para encontrar prácticas, sin embargo las experiencias personales de los alumnos no suelen ser favorables.
Además, una vez tienes las prácticas los profesores son poco comprensivos, cuando faltas a clase porque tienes prácticas te suspenden igualmente.

Our favorite pre-drinking bar was definitely the metro bar on calle Joaquim Maria Lopez in Moncloa, then we danced all night next door at La Notte which didn´t have a cover charge. In Madrid don´t miss Retiro Park, its beautiful. Great day trips are Toledo, Segovia and Escorial. Best restaurant to study with great food was VIPS!!!

Personal comments
Considering that I knew nothing of spanish when I first arrived to Madrid, I think I acquired pretty good language skills. The fact that I had the opportunity to learn the language in its country of origin was a big advantage and I am certain that I wouldn't have a better spanish if I had learned it in a course in my home country.

El palacio: a night club where all foreigners go, it's good but a bit expensive
Sol: very touristic part of Madrid with a lot of pubs, good but also a bit expensive
Moncloa: cheaper but with a lot of teenagers
the last one is my favourite one but I can't remember the name of this part of Madrid, it's more "special" and cheaper
