Ale Sanchez is studying a degree in Gastronomy at Uni and last semester he completed a semester stay and also did an internship in Brazil.
When you entered Uni did you know there were international programs?
Yes, since the other students who had traveled abroad last semester informed us of a Portuguese course for foreigners that would help us a lot to be able to be more fluent with the language.
Did you think you would go live and study abroad in your first semester?
The truth is that I never imagined it, but the best of all is that surprises come when you least expect it and it is worth all the effort I make to be a good student.
Have you ever lived or studied outside of Mexico before?
Never, it was my first time.
What prompted or motivated you to study in another country?
The simple fact that I was going to have the opportunity to get to know another culture and to have the experience of living alone and knowing that everything you do has to be a reflection of your effort. Also to get to know the gastronomy of another country.
Why did you decide to study in that country?
Because it is a Latin American country, which has tropical ingredients and ingredients from Europe, its gastronomy has a fluid variety and by meeting people from there I could get to know typical or familiar dishes that would allow me to understand more about the culinary tradition of that country.
How did you feel when you arrived in the new country?
I was very excited because I loved the idea of being able to see what it had to offer and the new things I could see.
How have you been received at the university where you arrived?
It is a very beautiful university and with a splendid staff, they are very attentive to each of the foreigners and always supported you in any problem you might have.
What will you miss most about Mexico?
Gastronomy
What about the Uni?
The way of working since I was used to their way of evaluation and above all to all the teachers and students of my faculty.
What is the most exciting thing you have experienced so far in this experience?
The opportunity to be able to travel to other parts of the country and all the people I met from various parts of the world is great.
And the hardest part?
Having to get ahead with my studies in college and having some family problems.
What do you expect as a person and as a professional from this program?
Personally I was looking for development and development to be able to get ahead alone in an unknown country and with the people around me. Professionally, I had the opportunity to get to know very closely its gastronomy and also an opportunity to develop work experience.
Do you recommend these opportunities provided by Uni to your colleagues?
Of course, it is one of the best experiences a student can have, mainly because you start to value all the things that you have in your country and you just don't see them as something special, until you are far away from them, and also because you meet many people that help you to change as a person and to think in a different way.

At Uni, our students have the opportunity to study abroad, either for short stays, for a semester, in summer programs or even postgraduate studies. Francisco Calvillo tells us about his experience in Brazil:
When you entered Uni did you know there were international programs?
Yes, it is something that the University of Celaya is very popular for.
Did you think you would go live and study abroad in your first semester?
Yes, but I knew I had to work hard to make it happen.
Have you ever lived or studied outside of Mexico before?
No.
What prompted or motivated you to study in another country?
To get to know new places, get to know a new culture and maybe if I found new and good ideas to bring them to Mexico.
Why did you decide to study in that country?
I found the level of PUCRS to be very good, the teachers are very well prepared.
How did you feel when you arrived in the new country?
It's very different, the way people are, the language, the culture, it's all very different but I'm excited to be in another country.
How have you been received at the university where you arrived?
The Academic Mobility program of the PUCRS is ideal for foreigners who come to study here because they show you what the University is like and teach you a little of the culture of the country.
What will you miss most about Mexico?
My family, of course. And gastronomy.
My friends haha.
What is the most exciting thing you have experienced so far in this experience?
Traveling to other places is always an adventure, accompanied by other strangers to the unknown.
And the hardest part?
The first few days talking to people our age, since they don't speak formally, they use a colloquial language that was very difficult for me to understand until a few weeks later.
What do you expect as a person and as a professional from this program?
I want to improve as a person because I have met new customs and cultures, so I want to be a more open person in terms of the world in general and as a professional I want to improve because of the level that this University has.
Do you recommend these opportunities provided by Uni to your colleagues?
Of course, they should make the most of it, it is not common for Universities to have these international programs, do not waste them.

From Korea, one of the 20 countries with which Uni has an agreement, student Liliana Velarde, who received a scholarship from Uni to study at Hallym University, tells us about her experience:
When you entered Uni did you know there were international programs?
I knew about the existence of the programs, but I wasn't really aware of how they worked and I didn't know that the uni awarded scholarships to some of the students.
Did you think you would go live and study abroad in your first semester?
Not at all, of course it was something I had always wanted, but I didn't know it would become a reality, much less during my college career.
Have you ever lived or studied outside of Mexico before?
Never, I have been in Mexico all my life.
What prompted or motivated you to study in another country?
Curiosity, the desire for more knowledge, the search for new adventures and challenges, and above all the thirst for a lot of learning.
Why did you decide to study in that country?
Starting with Korea being on the other side of Mexico, the intrigue of what it will be like, what it will be like, what the landscape is like, what the people do, with a completely different culture, the challenges involved in not even speaking the same language but still being able to get by... Pure excitement!
How did you feel when you arrived in the new country?
Excitement and wonder at everything I saw, heard and tasted. Intrigue to understand things and situations that were completely bizarre to me. You feel your ideas expand as you are present with your 5 senses in experiences you could never have imagined.
How have you been received at the university where you arrived?
Everyone has been very kind, and the university has a group of students called "Buddies" who are there for the exchange students in case you need help with anything, they are very friendly and organize trips with the whole community of Buddies and exchange students.
What will you miss most about Mexico?
To my loved ones, the warmth of our people, the weather and of course the food!
What about the Uni?
To my teachers and classmates, and to the uni itself with its large green areas and its cool and relaxed atmosphere.
What is the most exciting thing you have experienced so far in this experience?
To get to know not only the Korean culture, but many other cultures by sharing stories and moments with other exchange students, there are more than 100 exchange students from different countries with whom you can make friends. And also to travel through a country in which everything seems to be a riddle.
And the hardest part?
The weather, when I arrived it was very cold, but even so it is not something that prevents you from going on with your life normally. The good thing is that spring is getting warmer and warmer.
What do you expect as a person and as a professional from this program?
This program is the best thing that has ever happened to me. The benefits it brings both personally and professionally are many. As a professional you have the opportunity to get to know and observe how other people of different nationalities work and what level they have, you also have the opportunity to demonstrate your ability as a professional, which helps you to be more competent worldwide. It also helps you to perfect your English and learn the basics of Korean.
As a person it changes your perspective on life, you learn to value the good things and look for solutions to the bad things in your country. This experience takes you out of your comfort zone, makes you more creative and proves how capable you are when challenges come your way.
Do you recommend these opportunities provided by Uni to your colleagues?
Of course I recommend them, these opportunities are the ones that change your life.
