Today, we went on a bus ride to a public hospital, which was pretty worn down and not very nice. It was very overcrowded and filled with sick people waiting for care. It is crazy to see how different the hospitals in the United States are to third-world hospitals. Then, we went to the University of La Matanza, which is a public university that is free for all students. The campus was actually pretty nice, it was pleasing on the eye. It has 60,000 students. Some similarities that it shares with Pitt are its programs- it has nursing and business programs, which are separated into different schools. Also, it has a rec center, library, and dining hall. Some differences are that there is way less technology used at La Matanza. We walked through the library, and there were so many students in there studying, but I only saw about 5 laptops. Most of the students just used pen and paper. Also, there are no dorms at La Matanza. All 60,000 students commute, either by walking, biking, or bus. It is actually crazy to think about that the school has as many students as the most populated school in America, and none of them live on campus. At the school, there was a tour of all the buildings, such as the technology department, the theater, and the simulation room. In the simulation room, we watched a group of students perform an emergency care treatment on a dummy, and it was cool to see how they worked. After, we got a lecture about the nursing and business programs, and how they are set up compared to the states. After, we met with some students at the school and were just asking questions about life there. They mentioned their career center at the school, and how it helps them get jobs. They also mentioned that although the school is free, there is a 60 percent acceptance rate based on a test that a student must take prior to admission. That is interesting because it is similar to the SATs, but the SATs are not required at all schools, nor are they the leading factor of acceptance. Lastly, we went on a graffiti tour in Palermo, which was actually really cool. We learned about the street art and how it unifies the society.
