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 😡

ADE Course

Classes are good, I would try to make them more interactive and with more practices in class. Professors normally are good, in the english course I believe the english of the teachers could be better specially if the course is taught in that language. I also believe professors could interact more with their students and try to get in contact with students they see may be struggling. Otherwise the campus, although a bit small is fine, really nice, the library could be a little bigger.

Studying at CEU prepared me for the world.

Studying Advertising and public relations at CEU Cardenal Herrera was an enriching and transformative experience. One thing I standout is the combined theoretical and practical skills we learned throughout the career. We work hand on hand with well known brands that give us a profesional view and a bigger understanding of the profesional world. The multicultural environment at CEU help me develop cultural sensibility and open my perspective because of the diverse backgrounds. The most enriching experience was living in the amazing city en Valencia, its stunning architecture and its amazing food. I graduated feeling confident and prepared to enter to the professional world.

Cultural diversity

It is a university that brings together many exchange students, you could say more than 700 people. Therefore there is the possibility of generating an approach with different cultures and meeting people. The problem is that the university does not understand that a foreign person does not know anything about the university and they should provide information regarding all types, explaining how the schedules are chosen, what the internship process is like, what apps or websites they use, etc. .

Loving it here!

Being here has been such a wild ride. Moving to a new country every semester and learning local languages has been both fun and challenging, but it's kinda exhausting too. Still, that hustle gives me an adrenaline rush I low-key love! The best part has been seeing our business ideas come to life and when people genuinely appreciate and engage with something we’ve built, it makes all the hard work worth it.
