The girl I met is studying medicine at this university and it will take her 6 years. She told me that per lecture are round about 40 Students and the things she enjoys at the UCA are the campus and the Faculty. This is no surprise because Puerto Madero is an expensive restaurant and night life district, which was renovated in the 90s and earlier was a port city with storage (now it is used by only a few ferries to Uruguay and small excursion boats). Here you can admire the floating casino in an old steamship.
A controversial thing what she likes is the dress code which produces in her opinion an equality. Like in summer you are not allowed to wear shorts. Or you have to use trousers which are not Jeans.

The lab practicals could be better in her opinion but she enjoys the extracurricular activities like sports and cultural classes. During my online research I found out that besides for a library there is also a cultural center with a language school for English, Italian, German, French and Portuguese. So besides the language skills the students can also take seminars and professional workshops and cultural training which is really interesting.
