University of Vigo (reviews)

The infamous CUVI microclimate: If you are studying at the main Vigo campus (Lagoas-Marcosende), get ready to live in a Galician version of Silent Hill. While it might be sunny down in the city center, up on the mountain you’ll face a thick fog, temperatures 4 degrees colder, and a lot of wind.

The transit odyssey: Relying on the Vitrasa (the city buses) to get up the mountain is sometimes hard. They are a lot of times very packed and it is not free. If you drive, finding a parking spot after 9:30 AM is an extreme sport.

Disengaged professors: Like anywhere, there are amazing lecturers. But you will also run into “old school” tenured professors who couldn’t care less about teaching, read straight off PowerPoint slides from 2012, and make office hours feel incredibly boring.

Is a good university with many careers to study. Excellent professors and fine location. The students are wonderful; it’s very easy to meet lots of people there. Overall, my experience has been very good.

I’m already in love with this place! The campus is huge and beautiful—there’s this one spot with giant trees that’s perfect for chilling between classes. My professors are super cool; one of them even stayed late to explain coding stuff I was stuck on. The workload’s no joke, though—I’ve pulled more all-nighters than I’d like to admit. The food’s hit-or-miss; the burgers are decent, but the salads are sad. I’ve joined a couple of clubs, and it’s been awesome meeting people who are just as obsessed with gaming as I am. It’s intense, but I feel like I’m growing every day!”

The program offers a broad spectrum of subjects that not only expand our knowledge as future designers but also provide a well-rounded education. The curriculum is thoughtfully structured to ensure that students develop both creative and analytical skills, making it a comprehensive and forward-thinking program.
