Student review [#91218] for Psychology
at Universidad Iberoamericana - IBERO

Honestly, at first I didn’t want to go to that university—not because I didn’t like it, but because I didn’t want to live with my parents. I wanted to study away from home. But I have to admit, I’ve loved it.
I’m studying psychology and about to start my final year. Ibero has an excellent academic level. From the very first semester, we have field trips and practical experiences, because to become a psychologist, you need to be trained with and for the community. All the professors are experts in their fields, and it’s clear they’re passionate about what they do—classes are engaging and dynamic because of that.

I also have to say that last semester I went on exchange to Salamanca, Spain, and honestly, Ibero has a much better academic program than USAL. Over there, you’re seen as just a test score, there aren’t many other evaluation criteria, and the professors don’t even know your name. You don’t really build any connection with them.

The only thing I’d say I don’t like about Ibero is that I think they should be more selective when admitting students—especially in psychology—because I don’t believe everyone is cut out to be a psychologist or to serve the community. Not everyone has the right intentions or the right profile for it.
