Student review [#4681]
at Universidad Complutense de Madrid - UCM

The Complutense University of Madrid is still the most prestigious public educational entity in Spain, a title that in my opinion today is far from deserving due to its decadent educational system and its prehistoric staff of professors, professors and other specimens that make up this fauna labor. Studying there can be a stifling experience, degree programs are more than backward, anachronistic, and more than a little flexible, static. Not to mention the unwillingness to recognize the talent and effort of the students, when they exist, on the part of the teaching staff. And I say when they exist because the student community, I do not know if by law of reciprocity or by the endemic disease that leads to the whole country, which could be called extreme vulgarization, ends up also turned into a mass of disinterested and apathetic, without passion or emotion to learn nothing or develop a thought of their own and critical of what happens around them. On the other hand, access to academic and professional materials and publications is often an impossible mission, there is a shortage of resources and in most cases those that are found are not the best qualified. In terms of infrastructure, the faculties and other complexes built up are quite old and leave much to be desired at the level of functionality. If as an exchange student you are looking for a motivating university environment where you can debate, question and grow and spread intellectually, culturally and personally, of course you will not find it here. If, on the other hand, you are looking for an ordinary environment, ignorant and with great rates of stupidity, of course this is your place. As a point to please say that this problem of decline I do not think it is exclusive to the Complutense University of Madrid, I think rather that it is a phenomenon that extends to the university as a Western and European institution that is no longer supported or will more in the model and in the principles in which it was originally conceived and created.
