Student review [#2855]
at Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo - PUCSP

The university certainly has its place in Brazil’s political history but poor management in recent decades and deteriorating structure risk its existence in the future. Its faculty is among the best in the country, especially in areas such as Law, Social Sciences, Psychology. Eventhough limited by expensive tuition fees, students attending it are pretty diverse in terms of ethnicity, income levels, political alignment and even nationalities, which I find to be fundamental in a university environment. Diversity is definitely welcome. The Monte Alegre/Ministro Godoy campus can get crowded and loud, especially during evening classes. with neighbouring bars contributing to that also. While part of the atmosphere it can certainly interfere with academic activities.
Overall a great university by Brazilian standards, with a great history and legacy, but currently facing financial and organizational struggles which refrain it from functioning at its potential.
