The best study house

I studied at Simón Bolívar University from 2005, until 2011; obtaining the title of Chemical Engineer. For me, it is one of the best study houses. I met the best teachers, they have a well-known library, many areas of study, which are important for the development of the student career. My work achievements I owe to that university.

My House of Studies

It's a good university, but in general this semester fell as there are always problems with pirate teachers ... Your system of notes via the internet is pathetic this semester ... Its price compared to other universities is really economic, that's what another good one that he has. And it should be noted that yes, there are still good teachers in the IUTA but unfortunately they will take other courses since their pay is very low.
