When you entered Uni did you know there were international programs?
Si, tenía el conocimiento de los programas internacionales que existían en la universidad.
Did you think you would go live and study abroad in your first semester?
La verdad no, se me hacia algo difícil de imaginar
Have you ever lived or studied outside of Mexico before?
No, esta es la primera vez
What prompted or motivated you to study in another country?
Mi deseo de poder conocer otras partes fuera de México, el hecho de no quedarme en un solo lugar, también me impulsaban mucho los comentarios de otras personas, de sus experiencias de vivir en el extranjero, mi familia que creía en mi capacidad de poder superarme y poder conocer otras formas de pensar y otras culturas.
Why did you decide to study in that country?
Chile siempre me ha llamado la atención por el hecho de ser el último país del continente americano, por su naturaleza y sobre todo porque no es tan mencionado como las grandes potencias u otros países también de América, a demás de que es un socio comercial importante para México y me ayudaba en mi carrera. Una parte también porque me habían comentado que Chile tenía muy buen programa para estudiantes de intercambio, sin duda me llamaba la atención vivir esa experiencia.
How did you feel when you arrived in the new country?
Nervios por el hecho de que era un país completamente nuevo para y por que nunca había viajado yo sola, emoción por que conocería una nueva cultura, gente nueva y sabia que seria una muy buena experiencia para mi y al mismo tiempo un poco de tristeza al alejarme de mis seres queridos.
How have you been received at the university where you arrived?
Muy bien, la Universidad Mayor es una excelente escuela, sobre todo por que se interesa en sus estudiantes de intercambio y tienen muchas actividades.
What will you miss most about Mexico?
La comida y sobre todo a mi familia y amigos.
What about the Uni?
Creo que lo que mas extraño es su sistema educativo el de aquí se me hizo algo complicado y a mis amigos.
What is the most exciting thing you have experienced so far in this experience?
Poder viajar a diferentes partes de este país, poder conocer los lugares mas bonitos que hay aquí, aunque me faltaron varios pero de verdad lo mejor que he vivido aquí ha sido poder viajar y conocer más su cultura
And the hardest part?
Lo más difícil ha sido el aspecto económico ya que los precios son superiores a los de México, creo que también el no poder tener las comodidades a las que estaba acostumbrada, pero está bien porque eso es parte de la experiencia.
What do you expect as a person and as a professional from this program?
Como persona espero que me ayude a tener una visión mas allá de las cosas, a desenvolverme en cualquier parte donde este y sobre todo a tener mas responsabilidades en mi vida y como profesional a conocer mas aspectos de mi carrera, que piensan las personas y encontrar oportunidades.
Do you recommend these opportunities provided by Uni to your colleagues?
Por supuesto, les recomiendo que si tienen la oportunidad apliquen para una beca de intercambio es una experiencia que yo creo que vale muchísimo la pena el poder vivirla y sobre todo que te ayuda muchísimo.

When you entered Uni did you know there were international programs?
Yes, in fact that's what convinced me to stay in college.
Did you think you would go live and study abroad in your first semester?
Yes, I had plans to go on exchange but I didn't imagine I would make it.
Have you ever lived or studied outside of Mexico before?
I have never lived outside of Mexico before, this is the first time I am far away from my family, my culture and everything I was used to.
What prompted or motivated you to study in another country?
Studying in another country I think is very important because it opens your horizons, it radically changes your way of thinking, I was motivated to learn new things for my profession as well as for me as a person and to meet new people.
Why did you decide to study in that country?
I decided to come to Chile because I had never traveled to South America, the school with which the Uni has an agreement is very good and I had friends who had come and they recommended it to me.
How did you feel when you arrived in the new country?
I was nervous because I had never been alone before but it was an incredible experience from the moment I was on the plane to here, I was very happy and excited.
How have you been received at the university where you arrived?
I was received in an incredible way, the Universidad Mayor picked me up at the airport where I met several exchange students who arrived close to the time I arrived, they left us outside the address where we were going and from the beginning they treated us like at home because the whole group of international relations supports you in whatever you need. In the welcome they unite all the students and explain everything we need.
What will you miss most about Mexico?
What I miss most about Mexico is the food because it is very different but you get used to it and learn to adapt to what is there.
What about the Uni?
The study system is very different from the way the students are treated to the way they are graded and what I miss the most about the Uni is that they spoil us a lot.
What is the most exciting thing you have experienced so far in this experience?
Meeting new people that you never imagined that at the end of the day they become your family, they teach you a totally different culture, a new language, ideas and then it's amazing all the experiences you have with them.
And the hardest part?
The hardest thing is being away from home because you are used to being close to your family, your parents are close and you count on them for everything, being far away you know that the family supports you but you have to do everything yourself from a simple meal to taking care of yourself and going to the doctor by yourself when you feel very bad.
What do you expect as a person and as a professional from this program?
I really liked the program because you learn in an impressive way.
Do you recommend these opportunities provided by Uni to your colleagues?
The exchange offered by the university I highly recommend it because it is truly an opportunity that you will probably never have again, you meet people who become very important in your life, a culture different from yours, you see life differently and I think the experience gives you a lot, both professionally and personally, you become independent and begin to face life on your own. You realize many things that being in your comfort zone you cannot appreciate. Personally, I would repeat the experience.

For the Selected Topics in Biology 1 course taught by Dr. Gabriela Guerrero from Prepa Uni, three students tell us about their experience in a project to raise awareness among young people about pregnancy and contraceptive methods. In turn, this activity is also part of another project that consists of making an estimated cost comparison between how much it costs to buy contraceptive methods for a year and how much it costs from conception to the maintenance of a baby for the same period of time.
One of the teams that had already had the experience approximately three months ago with this project was formed by Julio and Renata, who gave us the opportunity to work on this project.for a period of three days, they were assigned to the a baby robot that, by means of sensors, simulates the various attentions required by a baby. newborns; such as the constant need for diaper changes, medications for fever or colic, feeding every few hours, waking up approximately every hour at night, among others.. Students commented on their experience What took turns with the baby during the three days so that they could appreciate the great responsibility and time it required when they lulled him to sleep, when he suddenly started to cry and they had to find out why, or he woke them up approximately seven times a night; concluding that based on this they could really become aware of the risks involved in having unprotected sex and making a written report based on what they experienced.
Another student who also went through this experience but in a much more acute way was Adam, who due to circumstances outside his team was forced to carry out the project as a "single parent", so that after spending the first night with the baby, he believes that this experience represents only about 30% of what being a parent really entails.
To carry out this project, two of these babies were brought from Monterrey specially designed for this type of project. These babies have characteristics and textures very similar to those of a normal baby, as well as a sensor box inside their clothes that controls each of their needs, which are satisfied through a pacifier, diapers and a bottle that are previously given to the students.

Para el proyecto de Creative Day de las carreras de Logística y Comercio, se planteó a los alumnos la elaboración de una Ficha País, la cuál tiene por fin dar a conocer los datos geográficos de algunos de los países que pueden ser nuestros socios comerciales con los que tenemos tratados de libre comercio; tales como Bélgica, Francia, Colombia, Suiza, Panamá, China, Alemania, Corea del Sur, e inclusive México; por la importancia de conocer las características de nuestro propio país.
Cada uno de los veintidós equipos tiene que averiguar los datos del país que le hayan sorteado, tanto en el aspecto económico, geográfico, ideográfico, social, su tipo de gobierno, actividades internas, infraestructura, entre otras. Especialmente en cuanto a la festinó geográfica, los alumnos tienen que puntualizar la ubicación de dicho país, países con los cuales colinda, sus principales puertos y aeropuertos, si tienen tráfico fluvial, entre otros datos; con el fin de que ellos se den cuenta de cuales son las rutas más viables para exportar a dicho país.
Con toda la información recabada, los alumnos van a realizar una presentación gráfica de cinco minutos para exponer específicamente los puntos investigados en cuanto a geografía.
Todo esto con el fin de que los alumnos practiquen y refuercen sus habilidades de investigación, síntesis, redacción y la utilización de las referencias con estilo APA. Asimismo, los alumnos tendrán breves intermedios para evitar las presiones, en los que se les realizarán preguntas de maratón acerca de temas geográficos.
