Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos - UNMSM (reviews)

My second house is a public university, and even though its limitations gave me how to be brave from scratch and how to avoid be drown by the system. Potentially, gave me the bases to be the person that I am nowadays.

Studying Administration at San Marcos was a mix of great opportunities and frustrating challenges. On the bright side, the university’s prestige opens doors, the education is solid, and it’s affordable, making it accessible to many. I met amazing people, joined student groups, and found good internship opportunities. But, the bureaucracy is a headache, the infrastructure could use some upgrades, and some professors stick to outdated teaching methods. Plus, the area around campus isn’t the safest at night. Despite the flaws, I’d choose it again because the education and connections were worth it

San Marcos is considered to be one of the best universities in Peru. Not only because of her history, since she is the Dean of America, but also because of the high level of her admission exam that not many can surpass. __ Being in this university allows you to meet people from all parts of Lima and also from Peru, with the wealth of all customs and ways of thinking. It is a space in which over the years makes you a more critical person with Peruvian reality and really invites you to change. In addition, although we do not have the best technology or the best venues or study materials, all of us learn to value what they offer us and we move forward. __ I am proud to belong to this university.
