JGM campus: Tips for new students

This first post is dedicated to the students, from this university, that go to Juan Gómez Millas campus. My idea is that the students in first years from his career can be, in this blog, find information that can help them and do his stay in the campus easier.  

Here, they can find a lot of information about places where eat, study, enjoy, rest or just meet. Also, information related from university administration and important dates as enrollment, registration of courses and holidays.


My name is Claudia Rivera and I am studying Journalism in the Universidad de Chile since four years ago in Juan Gómez Millas campus. When I arrived here, in the 2014, there was not any information that guides me and my classmates. So, in the first months of the career was complicated for me because I did not live in Santiago and I did not know much things that happened here.

Since this first year until today, the social networks have been a great help for me and my university friends. Now, the students can do “community” whit his university companions. Pages on Facebook of your Student Center, DAE or your career and faculty, can guide you if you need information from de university administration.

On the other hand, if you want know more about university life outside classroom, you can visit groups on Facebook as “Comunidad JGM” and diffusion groups from your faculty or institute. In this groups, the members always are posting contents about events in the campus, reunions and parties.

Somethings, even, the students post information of rooms to rent near the university and tips for students that live alone. If you don’t find what you looking for, you can ask your doubts to the community and they answer you, almost always, in a short time.

Now, if you are in first year of university and you want know how does work this new world, is important that you go to class frequently. When you miss classes, you lose the opportunity to meet new people and the possibility that ask your question to upper classmates to you.


My advice is that you don’t afraid to ask about you don’t know. There will always someone ready for help you. But, if you don’t encourage to ask, always is the option of exploring and discovering for yourself the campus. Just need a little time and a good sneaker!

    The communities that are created in the digital networks are very useful for the students, because it helps us to be well informed about what happens in the university, the campus and also in our institute or faculty :D

Journalism today

Hello, I am again writing about my future and the exercise of journalism. This thematic already seems me exhausting and boring. I do not know what I want to do the following week, much less I know what I want to my "future work", but well, work is work. I believe that journalism in our country is a highly precarious field of work where there is no just relation between the work that the journalist does and the money that he earn. Many times, a journalist must do the work of a cameraman, reporter, editor and Community Manager, for reduce the workforce in a mass media. The work schedules of a journalist are also very abusive. Since I entered to study Journalism, I heard teachers and graduates talk about "a journalist never has a fixed work schedule." At first time, that idea of ​​be at the service of the news may seem interesting, but then it is not reflected in the salary received. Yes, there are many journalists in Chile and universities every year incr...

My academic future

Take a postgraduate course has always been within my options to do in the future. I would like do a postgraduate or degree in economic journalism or political communication. The first one, interests me because I do not know much about that topic. As a journalist, the economy is a theme that always is surrounding us and it is part of our job make “this world” incomprehensible to citizens, easier to understand. However, many journalists do not know about economy or they do not give the job of investigate it, so they end up making mistakes when give some important information to the population. The second topic is an area that I like a lot and I find very interesting. The political world is closely related to the economic sector of a country, so, studying both subjects would be much better for me. I think that it will always be necessary for a healthy society know the relations between politics and businessmen. I also believe that both topics need have a very local context to...

My dream Job

  I have always dreamed work in a mass media where the working hours is very flexible. I know that this "dream" is a bit difficult to fulfill but one of the advantages that offer the Journalism is the possibility of create your own mass media without the need to have a big capital. I have never liked to stay in the same place, I am getting bored easily and I end up losing interest in what I am doing. I also do not like the idea of ​​work all day in front of a desk where I just should the follow orders from a superior. That is why I think I do not have a “dream job” totally defined in my head, but I do the work that allows me to do - and finance - all the other things that I will plan do in the future. I would like to create a mass media online with people close to me where I can have the freedom to do other things in parallel to that work. This means that I would like be part of a work team that knows how work when a member fails or cannot make its role within th...
