Central University of Venezuela: The house that overcomes the shadows.

The Central University of Venezuela is an autonomous institution of higher education located in the capital city of Venezuela. It is characterized by its good quality in terms of teachers and good students, both parties being very committed and competent. The graduates of this "house of studies" are characterized by being bright and comprehensive, are professionals and excellently manage their area of study, having even greater knowledge compared to the standards of students of the same degrees graduated from other universities nationwide. In the UCV there are many student movements that promote politics throughout the university, being one of the most political universities in the country. The student of this university is very requested at work level. Finally, I consider it a very good university because of its quality of staff, students and teachers and can really be considered as "the house that overcomes the shadows".

Vet

The Simón Rodríguez University had many shortcomings in terms of the study and organization to teach the degree in veterinary medicine, there were not even laboratories and the teaching staff was very infrequent due to the very low salary that the teachers received for their work, the university did not I was prepared to take on a career of that magnitude.

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.
