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.

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.

Not the best moment for this university

At this moment, this is not the best university to study on Venezuela, it doesn't have enough teachers for all the subjects, because of that, there are students teaching, they are not even graduated. Also they reduced the career from 5 to 4 years, that wasn't good because now we don't see some important subjects that help on the field of engineering. I don't recommend it at this moment.
