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".
