My experience
During my journey at CES University here in Colombia, I have always felt happy about my decision regarding what to study and where. My university is one of the best in the country and has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. I have encountered wonderful professors filled with knowledge who inspire me to become an excellent engineer. At the University, I discovered my greatest passion, which is prosthetics and rehabilitation. Although rehabilitation is my forte, thanks to my career, I have developed multiple skills that I can apply in various engineering areas.
Modern Facilities, but Longer Terms
Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) offers a well-maintained and modern learning environment that supports student success. The classrooms are equipped with up-to-date facilities, creating a healthy and conducive space for studying. The campus infrastructure is impressive, and the overall atmosphere fosters both academic and personal growth. However, one aspect that I find challenging is the recent shift from a 12-week to a 14-week term. While it may allow for a more in-depth learning experience, it also extends the workload and can feel more demanding compared to the previous system. Overall, MCL provides quality education with excellent resources, and I would recommend it to students who are looking for a school with a strong academic foundation and modern facilities. Just be prepared for the longer term structure!
University with a lot of enthusiasm for growth
This university is 30 years old, so it still has a lot of room for growth. I study Physics at the Faculty of Natural and Exact Sciences. The infracstructure and scientific equipment are certainly not the best, but there is a high passion for research and teaching among professors. In general, people all over the university have a lot of enthusiasm for their institution to intelectually grow. Events such as congresses and seminars are constantly promoted, and that's great.
