Quality is not always up to the teachers

The Universidad Complutense de Madrid is an old and big University. This comes with good and bad things. The best is that it has very very very good teachers and a good quality of studies with a huge variety of choices. But, at the same time the teachers, even though they are very good, they've been teaching for a very long time. Sometimes more than they should and they should have retired a long time ago. Also the bureaucracy is slow and exasperating. The university doesn't even respect their own deadlines and they tend to be a little botchy. In summary, a good university that needs to be renovated.
