Student review [#31802] for Social Communication
at Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo - PUCSP

I started on Puc in 2017.5 at age of 18. At the beginning, you have to complete a basic cycle that includes three areas: jornalism, marketing and cinema. But they certainty don’t care that much about cinema. The best subjects I took while I was studying were after that basic cycle and in another courses like Design. In Puc you can take lessons from another courses and I think that It’s great for the development of the student. For a brief moment I even wanted to go study Desing but I gave up when I realized I would have to start all over again. Then the pandemic came and Puc handled things really great. We had online classes and I didn’t delayed my graduation thanks to that. But we missed the campus a lot during that times. The PUC campus it’s one of the greatest i’ve ever seen. Not only because of the structure but because of the great vibe and stimulation it has. We have a great library with a lot of books and great space do study. The professors were great and attentive! In special, Patricia Machado was the best professor I ever had. It’s very important for me as a woman to see women teaching. That was inspiring for me.
I met a few international students on campus party’s and they seemed very happy for me. Rio and São Paulo are great city’s for people that age. I personally love Rio because we have beaches and a lot of night life.
I graduated in 2022.1 and I’m already working. I don’t know if I will work with film production for much longer but right now it’s giving me the chance to live by my own and I love that. If I could choose, I don’t know if I would have done Social Comunication. But it’s not because it was PUC, it’s just that I wanted to do something more practical and the course is more about theories and reading. They changed the study outline this year actually. So if you go to PUC to study Social Comunication it will be 80% different from what I did. And that its great because it seem better and they maintained the good teachers.
In the end, i would definitely say that I was an amazing experience.
