Hi, I am from Barranquilla, Colombia. I am an international student here at UNAV, and I like to write sometimes.

 

 

2.Why UNAV?

While I was trying to pick any university, everything started directioning here. I started looking for very good universities for journalism here in Spain, my dad helped me, then a friend told me he had the contact of the delegate of UNAV in Colombia, and along with all the story, I like the book the sun also rises from Ernest Hemingway, which has to do with pamplona, so I decided to come here.

 

 

3.What were your expectations when coming and where they fulfilled?

When it come to the university all my expectations have been fulfilled. The classes, the faculty, the teachers, the people, everything is awesome.

 

 

4.What do you wish you had known before coming?

How to save money. How to cook. I’ve been developing chef skills since now I live in a piso. Also be more organized with the schedules, and the importance of sleeping early.  

 

 

5.What has been your biggest impact since arriving?

They’ve told me that spanish people were tough, but nobody has been rude to me, and that’s nice. And also the difference in the food, which is good in some ways, and bad in others.

​

6.What was your major setback when applying?

Paperwork.

 

 

7.What are three essential tips you would give newcomers?
