Prestige is a finite resource: when it stops being nourished by excellence, it becomes just a memory.

The prestige and renown that this university has built over decades contrast with a reality that, in my experience, reflects an increasingly decadent institution. Historical reputation can open doors, but it should not serve to hide the numerous shortcomings that affect the daily lives of those studying there. I acknowledge that there were subjects where I made better use of an hour at home than in classes that were limited to reading slides aloud. In conclusion, the absenteeism rate was very high, but this hardly seemed to impact the average performance of the class. Absolutely all the competencies promised by the program remained incomplete without taking the corresponding master's degree, which, of course, they promoted from the early courses as if it were the natural and essential continuation of the degree. Another aspect that deeply disappointed me was the internship system. In my experience, a significant portion of the positions were offered in companies and institutions with little recognition within the sector or, directly, in organizations whose activities seemed to rely on the work of interns. In too many cases, it felt like interns were not there to learn from experienced professionals, but to cover structural personnel needs by performing tasks typical of a worker. I also perceived an environment excessively conditioned by internal relationships and the endogamy existing between certain departments. From my point of view, this ended up affecting how conflicts were managed and decisions were made, sometimes favoring disproportionate responses instead of seeking objective and transparent solutions. The feeling conveyed to the student is that questioning certain dynamics can have unpleasant consequences and that, in some cases, protecting the institution's image weighs more than listening to the criticisms of those who are part of it. Additionally, there was a treatment that, in my experience, was classist and condescending depending on the profile or background of the students. It is difficult to feel that academic effort is valued when the impression is that not all students start from the same point when it comes to being heard or considered. I believe that, for the high cost of tuition and the treatment received from university authorities, it is not worth studying at this institution. My time there left me with the feeling that the university's image and prestige are prioritized much more than the actual quality of education and the experience of its students.
