 so because europe doesn't actually have modern technology they still use this aqueduct to get water to and from the campus here at ie university that's not that's not really true they have running water and toilets and bathrooms and everything so don't worry we're actually gonna see the ie sygobia campus we got a statue with a cell phone doing selfies it looks like it's from like 1638 but he's holding those cell phones yeah we're gonna make sure we don't get that in here can you actually imagine walking around here and studying here every day because this is like it feels i feel like i have to whisper look at where we are dude like we're in a freaking historical heritage site the ie sygobia campus is like i don't know how many hundreds of millions of years old it's like before the dinosaur is definitely it used to be an insane asylum and then like a place for old people to go when they're old and like an orphanage like it's been all these different things and now it's a university and it's really awesome like they've got these crazy fusions of like modern infrastructure and technology with this stuff like you're literally in what used to be a giant church hall like come on tell me you don't want to be here well university just like every other wall you've ever seen sygobia like this fusion is is really something like i've really never seen anything like this before whenever i see these things i get really excited because it's like if i were going to go to college again this is probably what i would do had no idea they had this kind of technology in this little campus kind of surprising when i got here to hear so much english like i i mean it's spain so you kind of assume they're going to speak more spanish even though all the programs here are in english but uh it's such an international campus you just have to use english so you're going to hear a lot of it today today we're going to talk to four students from three different countries two peruvians an american and a local spanish to talk to us about their experience at ie i really think you're going to like these interviews because they've got such different stories and they're all doing different programs so they all have like a different perspective of this university and what it means to them so let's go meet our people my name is alberto in hope i'm studying here in a university in sygovia and i'm in the bachelor of economics also known as bie hi my name is katalina i'm from madrid and i'm studying here in sygovia studying architecture first year my name is astin roth i'm from atlanta in the united states and i study second year in the international relations program here at ie hi i'm nicole uceda i was born in u.s but i've lived all my life in peru my family's from peru i study economics my bachelor is all about mixing economics with mathematics mixed with programming which is a really valuable skill for us nowadays we also have a research part a university they have a virtual rivalry and you can search for thousands of papers academic papers based on that you can create your own papers so it's really a research oriented course he gives you a lot of tools that other universities don't for example the teachers they're professionals so they give you a professional point of view and the real life situations they've been going through a lot of international relations is research and being able to actually process that research through programs and programming is going to be an incredibly valuable skill for you whether you want to stay in ir or want to transfer to make some kind of international business we learn economics we learn history and of course international relations and along with that we have specific courses that we take from the un we're getting un certifications you can put them on your cv kind of improve your chances of actually being able to get a job with an international relations degree which is something that ie puts at the forefront i've always been really interested in architecture we're really exposed to all the creative process and like i really was happy to know that i really valued the design and the step by step process we're told that we were the biggest class from architecture this year so we're like 45 students they assign like four teachers for a class of 45 which i think it's really nice i was initially supposed to go to midrid but i was able to change it just to go via so if you're wondering about that it's quite doable to change not regretted it at all i love being over here it's a smaller town and that's actually i really like it because of that and so instead of like having all these distractions what you do in your free time is you just hang out with your friends and so you're able to spend a lot of time with people and create great connections that you wouldn't necessarily be able to make in other places segovia is a really calm city but still it is full of tourism if you're a tourist you can just do it in one day but if you live here you well you learn how to appreciate them and to see them every single day and to pass by not as a tourist but as an everyday citizen you really become a citizen of segovia you feel the a sense of belonging it's not like a really big city like madrid instead i've missed my family a lot but at the same time here segovia compared to madrid we are so close to each other and you meet people your same situation over more owned and nervous as you and the nightlife also what are like the good spots where should people go oh the good spots in segovia probably are irish that's my friends now i'm in tira that's like you know spanish music you go to places where i students go you literally are with your friends all the time i'm really happy here in segovia i like i never like thought i would actually like be living here because i've been here many times just for like lunch with my family and stuff so i always saw it like oh it's segovia but once you like relive here and you like spend your time here i live in a residence as well so we're like around 35 students in the residence i spend so much time with all my like friends there i believe i compared to madrid where they say it's like basically just like go up to your class you do your class you do your lecture and then you just like go down the lift and just go to the subway and go back home after spending a whole day in the segovia campus i truly cannot imagine the ie experience without it if you're considering ie for your applications like you absolutely should start in segovia and if you want to go finish your career in this amazing madrid tower you can but if you don't start in segovia you might miss out on the chance entirely and honestly like it is one of the most unique campuses that i have ever been to i have never seen a campus that perfectly fuses a historic heritage site with so much modern technology and innovation and it really opened my eyes to what's possible at ie and even though i already had a really good opinion about the university like now that i've been on the campuses man like go simple as that they don't pay me to say this i'm telling you this is where i would want to go but speaking of this ie tower this is one of the tallest education buildings in the world and it's located right here in downtown madrid's financial district if you want to learn more about the tower then you should subscribe to the channel because i'm going to publish another video about this specific location and give you a full campus tour and a whole lot more inside information from the admissions office so until then i want to give a big thank you to nicholas for taking the time to help us out with both tours both segovia and here at the tower he was awesome in making all the logistics work so big thank you to you nicholas and also to all you guys for watching so see you next week
