Our student winner of the UNI-INTERNACIONAL SCHOLARSHIP, Cinthya Araceli Calva from the Marketing and Advertising career, shares her experience of living an international semester at the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, Madrid, Spain.
When you entered Uni did you know there were international programs?
Yes, it was one of the reasons why I entered the Uni.
When you entered your career, did you think you would go to live and study abroad?
The truth is that since I was in high school I had already planned to go to study in another country for a semester or a year but my parents were not very convinced, it was until I was already in my career that they told me that I would apply for the call.
Have you ever lived or studied outside of Mexico before?
No, never.
What prompted or motivated you to study in another country?
Well, there were many things, first I wanted to learn more about my career but in another country to see if they were more advanced and to be able to learn new things in another university, then to meet new people, make friends from all over the world, learn about the culture of the country and travel.
Why did you decide to study in that country?
Because I love Spain, it is a beautiful country that has a lot to offer, very nice people, the lifestyle is very good, its gastronomy, many beautiful places where you can go.
How did you feel when you arrived in the new country?
At first I was scared and nervous but also very excited, I think all of us who have gone to study in another country for the first time when we arrive to that country feel very nervous about what will happen, you are there, alone at the airport and thousands of miles away from home and there you realize that the adventure begins because you are completely alone and at the same time you feel very excited to know what the future has in store for you, I was anxious to meet the people who for the next 6 months would be my best friends and my family away from home.
How have you been received at the university where you arrived?
Very good, the people were very nice, only the students were not as warm with the exchange people as we are here in Mexico.
What did you miss most about Mexico?
My family, my boyfriend, my friends, my dog, the food and the spicy food, I love spicy food and it was horrible because they eat with zero spicy food.
What about the Uni?
To my friends.
What is the most exciting thing you have experienced?
Without a doubt, having met and made friends from many parts of the world, living with them every day, making many plans with them such as picnics at the Parque del Retiro, going to parties, going for a tinto de verano, and going on many trips together. Without a doubt, meeting them was the best part of this experience.
And the hardest part?
Being away from my family and my boyfriend and also learning to live alone because, for example, sometimes I would arrive home from college at 11:00 p.m. and I still had to prepare dinner, do homework and wash clothes, so sometimes it was very hard, but with time I got used to it.
What do you expect as a person and as a professional from this program?
It has taught me so many things, not only in school, but more than anything in life it taught me that you can go as far as you want to go and to always fight for your dreams, it is definitely worth it.
Do you recommend these opportunities provided by Uni to your colleagues?
Totally, going on an exchange is one of the best things that can happen to you as a person and above all as a professional. Thank you for this great opportunity!

Our student Alison Michelle Quintanilla, a student of Global Business at the University of Global Business at the University of Celaya and winner of the Uni Scholarship for a stay at the Pontificia Universidade Católica at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, shares with us more about this incredible opportunity.
When you entered Uni did you know there were international programs?
I had full and complete knowledge about these programs and scholarships, it was one of the reasons why I decided to enter the University of Celaya; because I believe that the opportunities it offers are really good.
When you entered your career, did you think you would go to live and study abroad?
I not only believed it, it was one of my main goals in my stay at the university, the truth is that I had not yet planned the destination, but I was very clear about my goals.
Have you ever lived or studied outside of Mexico before?
Never, it always caught my attention, but I had not had the opportunity.
What prompted or motivated you to study in another country?
It was a set, because just as my parents motivated me to continue my studies and maintain my average, I also wanted to improve myself and be better every day, to set goals and overcome new challenges.
Why did you decide to study in that country?
I wanted a new project in my life, something out of my comfort zone and to learn a new language, besides Brazil is a country with a large territorial extension where you could fit almost all of Europe in it. I was also very interested in the way business is conducted, as it has a lot of economic relevance in South America and how foreign investment has become important.
How did you feel when you arrived in the new country?
It was an incomparable experience since I had never been and lived alone for more than a week, I had never been on a plane, let alone gone to another country; it was a very interesting challenge and I would definitely repeat it.
How have you been received at the university where you arrived?
They were very friendly, cheerful people always willing to help you in any way possible and the teachers were very professional, dedicated and experts in their field.
What did you miss most about Mexico?
Definitely my family, I consider myself a person extremely attached to my parents, but that did not stop me from facing the opportunity that was presented to me.
And clearly the food since, like Mexico, its culture and gastronomy are second to none.
What about the Uni?
Although the academic level of PUCRS is good, I missed the way our great professors teach and the teacher-student relationship we have.
What is the most exciting thing you have experienced so far in this experience?
There are several things I would like to say; learning a different language is for me like installing another software, meeting people who are not in your usual social circle is interesting because at least in my case that I lived in a house where we lived around 60 people, it was challenging to live together and not kill each other by sharing common areas, it was also exciting to see new places, share the view of the wonderful scenery with people who become important in your life and great friends.
And the hardest part?
There was nothing that I really considered difficult since I took it as a new challenge to overcome, learn from it and take it with the best possible philosophy.
What do you expect as a person and as a professional from this program?
I know that I will take with me new knowledge and skills with which I will be able to face the world of work and my personal life in a more creative and courageous way.
Do you recommend these opportunities provided by Uni to your colleagues?
Totally, they are incredible opportunities and probably unrepeatable, not because of the fact of being or living in another place, but because where could we find people or places that can pay for the school we want to attend in another country, probably exist, but if you are already if you are already in a university that already offers you these benefits and opportunities, why not take advantage of it and take advantage of it?why not take advantage of it and make the best of it?
Besides, I repeat, it is an unforgettable experience because; I learned a little more about the life outside my comfort zone, the real life that awaits me and with certainty I can say that I am more prepared for the challenges to come.
I am very grateful to Uni for giving me the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills that I will surely be able to take full advantage of in this and the following stages of my life.
I also thank PUCRS for supporting my personal and academic development.
