“Ingenieria la dificil decision”

Hugo M

Spain, Undergraduate
Engineering, 2020

Overall

La upv me ha mostrado sin duda todas las caras de la ingeniería, es un mundo apasionante que muestra el por qué de todas. También quiero destacar que es una carrera técnica y que las bases pueden llegar a ser diferentes a lo que uno espera. La dificultad de mi carrera ingeniería de tecnología industrial depende fundamentalmente de uno mismo, del trabajo diario que uno realiza, del estudio y de la capacidad de adaptarse al entorno y al cambio que supone la universidad. Los profesores pues no se puede generalizar puesto que hay de todo, al final los más exigentes son con los que más aprendes y más interés acabas poniendo en su asignatura. Si alguien duda de si quiere estudiar ingeniería si lo suyo no son las mates y la física, debe saber que tendrá que trabajar el doble para lograr conseguirlo, pero que no es un impedimento si es su sueño en la vida.

Pros

La intranet que permite tener gran cantidad de apuntes en internet

Cons

Las prácticas no me parecen específicas

The quantity of the courses available in the uni. Also the cold weather suprised me a bit in December and January. But I survived!

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Final comments

I recommend booking a flight via Ryanair if u wanna save on costs. Don't carry too much stuff with u cause u will always buy some and bring warm clothing with u (the weather is humid during the winter). I loved my stay in here and do not regret coming there at all. I would do it again and definately recommend it to other people; go when u still can and take the most out of it. Studying is not the most important thing ;)

Not too strongly, but to say the art faculty is different from the other faculties would be an understatement.

Final comments

The university is quite good overall. When they organise it, there big scale parties are very...entertaining. Other faculties are not the same as the arts, for example you wouldn´t see an engineering student smoking a joint in their caf. I think that a student from a different faculty should also do this survey so that you get a clearer idea about it.

I wish I had known...

I wish I had known about the difficulties in getting your achievements evaluated at your home university. It's not easy if they don't have the same grading system.

Make sure you travel lots. You have too see the mediterranean coast as well as (at least!) Madrid and Barcelona. If you really want to learn Spanish, go for a year; half a year is not enough and you'd miss out on most of the fun!
