My relationship with UCM is bittersweet. I harbour some feelings of affection for it and admiration for its history. There are many competent and inspiring professors, however, that does not seem to be the norm. I believe it is the institution’s own disorganisation and approach that makes some of its professors and many of its students unmotivated. Most of its infrastructure and staff are old and outdated, which makes the development of new ideas difficult. Truth be told, it relays in a proved system that has worked for many decades, but it might feel hard to connect with for some.
