Changes to my study programme

Well, starting on the first item –the curriculum- I have heard a lot of comments about the electives (cursos electives), comments like that they are not necessary, that they are just to spend time and energy, that when you graduate you will not employ then, basically that they don’t useful. Nevertheless I think there is also interesting elective courses, maybe not absolutely compulsory (for a reason they are not) for Law career, but it’s good that they are there, to break the typical-historical curriculum.

Also a good thing that attracted my attention when I started studying here was that the curriculum it is flexible, that mean that if you fail a subject, you are able to take it immediately in the next semester, you don’t have to wait six months to take it. That was good for me because I already failed a course haha.

However, this system has some disadvantages, like the teachers you will have in your cycle. Usually there are just one or maybe two options of professor to choose, because in theory they are just a few people who fail. So you don’t have variety to select. Also sometimes –not always- the professor who starts teaching those who failed a subject isn’t too good (at least according to what I have heard to). I hope this will not be mi case.

Something that I really miss (I am from Temuco, in the south of Chile) is green. Trees, grass, green hills, where I lived these are usual, so I found everything so grey here, I would love having some green-areas in the faculty, which obviously would implicate being in other place opener, maybe bordering San Cristóbal hill. That would be beautiful.
