 Hi, first of all I study design at Universidad de Chile. Right know I'm at the finals of my fourth semester and there's definitely some changes I would make in the current study program. For example, I would eliminate the course called "Transversal" of the whole study program. Because is supposed to make the students from the three careers, interact and learn to work with each other. However, the groups are not well distributed, so everybody is mostly working with people that already know. Besides, it's really time consuming, and every hour counts in this career. 

Something else I would change, is the mandatory attendance. In the program there's this course called "Proyecto", it's the main course in the whole career, extremely demanding and time consuming. Besides this semester there's another course called "Procesos y Prototipos" that requires a lot of manual work at the workshop. That being said, the mandatory attendance for other courses make it more difficult, 'cause there's moments when you have to sacrifice your lunch or sleep time to finish all the work.

Going back to the workshop, that's something that definitely needs to change. The space in general is not enough for everyone, and the staff definitely needs more support. 



Overall, the career can be super exhausting because the study program is pretty intense. So maybe these changes can make it a bit more lighter.

    I would not eliminate the transversal subject, but I would organize it differently.

    I don't like the Transversal either, because it is not a real experience of working with the municipality or reality... I would not eliminate it, maybe I will change it. In my section all the groups are well distributed, because they all have people from different careers.

Post 4 : Time travel to the past or future

Hiii, this topic is so interesting. If time traveling would really exist, I'd choose to go to the past. But the thing is, I don't have an specific time or place to go, but a lot of important historic moments that I would've love to witness.  For example, I wanna go really back in time where Jesus was supposed to be alive and watch with my own eyes the real history about him and all the stuff he supposedly did. Or go to Amsterdam, and walk in front of the house where Anne Frank was hiding at that precise moment. Also, to the Shibuya station in Japan so I could pet Hachiko while is patiently waiting for it's owner to return from work, although I would probably start crying. And because I love to listen about unsolved mysterious cases, I wanna travel in time to those crucial moments just to satisfy my curiosity and know what actually happened.I wouldn't stay longer in any of those places, I'm happy with this time lapse I'm living in.  Finishing with the reasons

Post 1: A country you'd like to visit

Since I was entering my teenage years, the thought of going abroad and getting to know different countries with different cultures became a dream and a life goal. If I have to choose a first option, I would definitely visit Italy, the "boot" shaped country. Because of how life seems to have a more romantic vibe that other places don't have. And also cause I noticed that the language it's very similar to Spanish, so it's not that hard to understand and learn, that's why I would choose to go to study. They are are famous for making amazing gelatos that I would love to try. Another country I would visit it's Canada. At some point of my life I hope to live there, mostly because it's a place with a really cold weather, and I'm a fan of snow. I've heard amazing things about it and how nice people it's there. The main language it's English although I know there's some places that are used to speak french, something I found really interesti
