UTAD is very welcoming. As soon as you enter, it truly feels like a second home, which is important when you enter university. The city isn’t big enough to go somewhere without anyone recognizing you for the third time, but it’s big enough to have different people who make you feel at home. UTAD is very diverse; the university campus is enormous and very beautiful. You’ll even find horses and a lake with ducks (sometimes). Some things will seem “out of fashion,” others completely outdated, but I think that’s what makes UTAD so special. The references for the job market are incredible, and all the professors are capable of teaching how the assigned subject should be taught. Be careful with the initiation rituals if you’re going to sports.
