A good university in general

It is one of the best colleges in Venezuela. The school never stops teaching and you are given all the tools to be a competitive employee or entrepreneur in the future. Recommended if you wish to study engineering.

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.
