First of all, I would like to have more courses in which one communicates directly with people, since most of the courses are very theoretical, which is very important, however, practices could be integrated so that we adapt to work in the "real world" so to speak. In addition, although the subjects of the curriculum are very good and help us to integrate more knowledge, I would like them to be more focused on Social Work, since there are subjects that are a bit detached from what is career and that sometimes is demotivating when studying for these courses. Regarding the workload, I think that perhaps it is not such a heavy academic load compared to other careers, but it would be great if the evaluation dates did not clash with each other, since the academic stress of having to perform many evaluations in a short time is stressfu...

I was there two weeks, and i went with my dance group, called Tinkus Legua.  It was very fun, because we went camping in the three different zones, because I knew very incredible people! Also, we swam in the lake Lleu-LLeu, that it had very calm waters so it was amazing to bathe there, we danced in various carnivals and in the beach Quidico, in Bío-Bío, we ate a lot of food in the zone, as the Mapuche sopaipillas, we had very profound conversations and admired the beautiful natural places.
