The review

ie university is the best university in the world, they education system is the best and infrastructure. It's the best university to put your child to I'm very happy with it i dont wanna lie l. Please go for it

The experience of studying at the UJI

So far, my experience at the UJI Medical degree has been excellent. Thanks to the excellent professors, advanced equipment and greatly organised central direction that we have, I feel that I can say that every student is rightly headed toward becoming a successful professional. About the university itself, the UJI's campus is very recent, and as such, also very modern, which is definitely an advantage. As an enclosed campus, there are lots of open air spaces in which one can roam freely and meet with fellow colleagues in order to either study and do work or relax after a stressful day. The fact that the university has a special neighbourhood dedicated to itself is another advantage, due to the fact that students will most surely be able to find accomodation at a very short distance. While the city of Castellon is small, which detracts a bit from the student life experience, it compensates with its proximity to the beach and the many rural attractions that are to be found in its surroundings; not to mention that the weather is excellent, hot in summer, allowing to enjoy the beach, and warm in winter, rarely do the temperatures go under 12 degrees Celsius. All in all, many things can be said about this university, but there is one most important above all and which must be underlined: it is a friendly place with many opportunities and excellent services

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.

Good, but worthy of improvement

The life in Murcia is simply great! A lot of tapas bars, bars, clubs etc. which are affordable for students! During the courses at UCAM, I got to know so many international people who got really good friends in the meanwhile. The only shortcoming is that several professors have difficulties to explain their ideas in English, because of the language barrier. But this does not concern every teacher. Furthermore, the teaching staff is not only about professors but about people having their own business and talking about their own experiences. All in all the education is pretty good at UCAM. But the working-life balance is even better. "Savoir-Vivre!"

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.

The cultural mix and the great atmosphere.

I loved being at Schiller in Heidelberg. The setting and the city were very serene and the exposure to all those students and teachers from such different and diverse backgrounds was a great learning experience. Additionally, the ease of accessing the Schiller campuses in the other countries was a great additional bonus to studying at Schiller. I would most definitely recommend Schiller to other students who are looking for a very culturally fulfilling experience.
