Universidad Simón Bolívar (reviews)

The holistic approach allows students to explore literature, arts, politics, specialities such as scientific drawing, statistics, nutrition and more
The engineering and sciences are taught at a very high level that was recognized by big corporations worldwide

Simón Bolívar University, in spite of the great crisis affecting the country and which has touched the doors of the university itself, has managed to overcome the difficulties and maintain its high educational standards as far as possible, thus continuing in its work of to train highly qualified professionals capable of successfully integrating into the workplace.

The quarterly regime and the strict rules of stay in the study house have contributed to the student’s constant search for excellence, regardless of the career they are in.

The campus is quite large and allows the development of the student’s life in recreational or sports activities beyond just the study.

Among the disadvantages that could be found would be the location of the campus, since it is located outside the capital city; to access it would have to be through the transport of the university (which at the moment is in a precarious situation due to bad government policies), by public transport (which also presents difficulties at this time), or through of a private vehicle.

Another notable disadvantage is that, as in most public universities, a large part of the teaching staff has decreased due to unfavorable labor and salary conditions.

The dining room service does not work in the same way as it used to in the past, so the students have to take their forecasts.

This is without a doubt the best university for engineers. The environment of the campus is amazing, a lot of places to study and an amazing garden to relax and chill. On the other hand it has one of the best sports complexes in the city. I study Mechanical and Chemical Engineering here and have no complaints. I also played volleyball, soccer, and rugby. To me it was my home during my student life, and to this day I still do not feel I missed a thing, it couldn’t have been better.
