Universitat de les Illes Balears
speciality: Education

My overall experience was rather average. Well, the campus itself is very accessible when it comes to public transport or own vehicle, as well it offers programs to take a year in a foreign university, which I think is really enlightening.

But as for teachers, I was rather disappointed. Either some of them seemed underqualified, only few stood out.

I also missed a more practical focus on each subject, being my learning all in all too theoretical.

What I like most about the university, apart from the classes, is the overall campus atmosphere. The students are friendly, and the professors are approachable and supportive. Overall, I think it is a very good university. The only drawbacks are that it can be difficult to get a place in the student residence, and it is located a bit far from some parts of the city. However, it is well connected by metro, so getting around is not a problem.

One challenge for students who are not from the island is that many local students return to their hometowns on weekends. As a result, although it is easy to make friends, it can sometimes be more difficult to meet up with them during weekends.

Despite this, I would definitely recommend the university to other young people, as it is a great place to study and enjoy the university experience.
