IE University has made integration very easy as everyone comes from such an international background like myself. I directly felt at home especially after the ice breaker activities organized at the beginning of the semester. The facilities of the school are really modern and allow a lot of interaction!
Classes are very small making the teaching experience feel very personal. We really do get a bond with our teachers which is not common in many universities. The content of the BBA course is challenging but does not overtake our social life balance either. It is very well balanced as it includes different fields beneficial in the business world: finance, economics, marketing, programming, etc. The way the syllabus is organized allows us to communicate a lot with others such as through group works as well as improve our public speaking through BPR classes.
IE has acted outstandingly as a response to the Covid-19 situation. The online class system was effective, although there were a few crashes. Exams continued as usual which is not the same for many universities (most pushed exams to be in the summer).
Overall, I really enjoyed my first year at IE. The campus is very central surrounded by many cafés, restaurants and bars. I highly recommend the university!
