what scholars say

Julio de 2019 definitivamente será una época inolvidable de mi vida, en la cual estudié en la Facultad de Economía y Negocios de la Universidad de Chile por dos semanas, patrocinado por la Beca Luksic.

Siempre he pensado que no hay nada mejor que vivir y estudiar en un país distinto, incluso un continente. Qué afortunado de haber podido experimentar ambos al mismo tiempo.

En Chile, las clases me entregaron conocimiento acerca de los negocios en América Latina, la comunicación con mis compañeros me amplió los horizontes, y la vida diaria me hizo respirar el país entero”.
