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.

One of the best

I can consider that it is one of the best universities in Venezuela, good functioning of the facilities and excellent teachers. Incredible environment to develop and very good areas for students.

Nothing to show

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.
