Enjoy the views

As a Publicity and Public Relationships student at the University of Alicante, I've had a very full experience related to the city and the University. When it comes to the installations, the UA has one of the most beautiful and complete campus in Spain. You have access to a huge library, a private gym, many canteens and other places. For me, that's the best thing that the UA has. In the other hand, and speaking from my own experience as a Publicity student, the content of come subjects turned out to be pretty boring and I believe that some teacher don't enjoy they job in the University. Overall, the UA and Alicante are worth to visit. You'll receive a very nice education and a lot of memorable experiences.

Comodo pero sencillo

La universidad tiene buenas infraestructuras y equipos para el estudio pero en ingeniería informática la enseñanza docente no está cerca de formar con pensamiento científico a los alumnos, refiriéndome a que falta dificultad en los contenidos, lo que dificulta que a la larga se encuentren puestos de trabajo más competitivos

the degree should be taught in English, but we have teachers that only speak in Spanish due to lack of teachers that speak English in the university, so even that we complain about it they dont care.

its not what I was waiting for, I'm not learning anything new from teachers, they are only repeating same information with a bad level of English
