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.

Central University of Venezuela: The house that overcomes the shadows.

The Central University of Venezuela is an autonomous institution of higher education located in the capital city of Venezuela. It is characterized by its good quality in terms of teachers and good students, both parties being very committed and competent. The graduates of this "house of studies" are characterized by being bright and comprehensive, are professionals and excellently manage their area of study, having even greater knowledge compared to the standards of students of the same degrees graduated from other universities nationwide. In the UCV there are many student movements that promote politics throughout the university, being one of the most political universities in the country. The student of this university is very requested at work level. Finally, I consider it a very good university because of its quality of staff, students and teachers and can really be considered as "the house that overcomes the shadows".
