My opinion on Ean University

Ean University is one of the most socially diverse institutions you can find in Bogotá. Its guiding principle is "Sustainable Entrepreneurship"—a philosophy deeply embedded in the curriculum. Regardless of their major, every student is required to engage with this concept at some point in their academic journey. I am currently enrolled in the Modern Languages program, which offers a strong foundation in Spanish and English, along with the option to study additional foreign languages such as German, French, Italian, or Portuguese. The program also allows students to choose from three different areas of emphasis: translation skills, digital communication, or organizational communication. I genuinely enjoy studying at Ean University. It equips students with essential tools for entering the labor market. Even as a student in the Faculty of Humanities, I am required to learn about business and economic strategies—something I find particularly valuable for those who aspire to go beyond language learning and theoretical knowledge. Another aspect I appreciate is how the university supports students in developing their start-up ideas, regardless of whether those ventures are currently successful or still in the early stages. Although the campus is relatively small, it is well-equipped. The classrooms are spacious and offer a variety of useful resources. There are also several social spaces for students to enjoy, including a nap room, a game room, limited green areas, and more. Additionally, the university is located in one of the best areas of the city, surrounded by restaurants, shopping malls, and countless activities—making student life both convenient and vibrant. In my experience, the professors have been excellent—knowledgeable, respectful, and supportive. However, I’m aware that some of my peers have had less positive interactions. That said, not everything has been perfect. The course registration process can vary between being highly efficient and extremely chaotic. I’ve had instances where I had to argue with administrative staff just to complete a simple request, which often took a long time to resolve. Additionally, many students (though not myself) have raised concerns about the curriculum including courses that don’t seem essential to our field—such as statistics, multiple entrepreneurship classes, and geopolitical studies. Overall, my experience at Ean University has been very positive, though there is definitely room for improvement, particularly in administrative processes.
