Student-Staff relationship

As far as universities go I think EU business school comes first in terms of student-staff relationship. Every member of the staff I have encountered has been more than helpful. What i think should improve as even tho its not connected to my previous point is I think the school should have more leniency towards tuition payment specially to international students because we are here despite the challenges of having to find willing banks to exchange local currencies to Euros.

Esic university Valencia is the worst university ever 😡

Worst university ever, I’m an İNTERNATİONAL student who came just for one semester for ERASMUS from another institution. It was the worst experience ever in my life, Esic university treated me so badly. The ERASMUS coordinator is really disrespectful and he didn’t even do a welcoming day for the new students. We didn’t get any training on how we can adapt to the university's system. First, they told us it is a hybrid system, which is not the case. This is the first lie from a higher education institution. They are really trying to push me to fail administration and also teachers I really feel it’s a religious problem about where I come from , plus I did all of my exams perfectly. Now I’m surprised that one teacher wants me to fail because I didn’t do one exercise ( just one in all semester lol) , my exam was perfect now she doesn’t want to show me my results and told me that she will make me fail because of one exercise. It is not fair and no one from the administration wants to help me as an Erasmus student, but I feel there is a difference between me and Spanish nationalities. Now I will take my legal right. They really discriminated against me in every way I’m really sad how I got used and treated this badly and also this issue has now become a personal issue, I really don’t recommend any İNTERNATİONAL students to join ESIC Valencia it’s the worst university on planet earth 😡

Una experiencia universitaria

Alguna vez me contaron la historia del hijo de una familia real de un pais europeo importante. El chico estaba buscando una universidad; ya había pasado por Cambridge, Oxford y algunas universidades de Estados Unidos. Decidió visitar la Universidad de Navarra junto con su padre y les gustó mucho. En medio de la cena con el rector, el padre le dice al recto: ¿sabes que me ha gustado más de la Universidad? La mirada de los alumnos... en ellos se nota que son personas felices, alegres, generosas... El chico se acabó quedando en la Universidad de Navarra pudiendo estudiar en cualquier otra universidad del mundo. Eso es lo que más me gusta de la Universidad -además del buen nivel académico-, que es propiamente universal; un lugar donde se interesan por ti, no solo desde el punto de vista académico sino personal. Se busca realmente formar personas y se les invita a vivir una experiencia universitaria autentica.

Nothing to show
