Tradicional University

San Agustín de Arequipa University is the most important university in Arequipa city. The reason? A lot of famous people were in that house of studies. Personally, I think that nowadays the university keeps their essence but not the academic level to the modern world. Anyway, studying there is free and is not bad to start! I feel agustina!

DIVERSITY

One of my favourite aspects about Hult is its diversity. By meeting people from all over the world with diverse histories and customs, you can get a sense of what their home nations are like. I also enjoy the help the staff provides every step of the way.
