That if I would change anything about my study programme or my university? Definitely. And not one, but a lot of things. Universidad de Chile is an excellent university with a horrible administration: the money is not well distributed between the different faculties (just look FEN next to FAU...), some careers are collapsed and they keep getting more and more students (Laws is completely full and they're getting 200 more students next year), if you fail in some subject, it's almost impossible to take the classes you want (and need), there isn't a good psychological help for students, etc. So yes, I would change some things. I would change the money distribution; I think that it's fair that faculties like FEN or Beauchef receive contributions of privates, but it's not fair that they also get the bigger percentage of the money that the University hands out between the faculties. If they get money from outside and inside the institution, there will be always a major difference between the different study places. Maybe we could make some kind of common fund and finance the needs of less lucrative faculties (like mine).
Also I would create support classes for the students who are getting stuck, and alternatives to get their classes passed, because when you fail two or more subjects, it affects you the rest of your career. Maybe I would do the schedule less tight; it's very exhaustive to have that much of classes that the first year students have... My classes starts at 8:30 am and finish at 8:00 pm almost everyday!
Well, is that and many more things, but I have to admit, even with all this bad things, I like my university a lot!
