My home university and my adventure as a student

My name is René Molina, and I’m currently in my last year of my Business Administration degree in the University of Zaragoza, specifically at the faculty of economics located in the city center.

Zaragoza is located in the north of Spain, and it’s the fourth-largest city in Spain, with a population of around 800,000 people. It has a very rich history as it’s been through countless historical events. Something curious about the name is it comes from Roman times as is in the year 11 b.c it was called ”Caesaraugusta”, in honor of the greatest Roman emperor in history, César Augusto.

The most important landmark of Zaragoza is without a doubt ”La Catedral basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar”. Built in 1680, it’s an enormous cathedral dedicated to the Virgin Pilar, the patroness of the city.

As mentioned before, I study at the faculty of economics, which is located in the city center. It’s very practical to get to and there are various ways to get to it, the main ones being walking, tram, or bus. You can also drive there, but it is slightly inconvenient because unfortunately my faculty doesn’t have parking and there’s rarely any free spaces near my faculty. On the left side of the image below is the library of the faculty, and on the right side is the building with all the classrooms.

My degree is very broad as it encompasses many subjects. These subjects consist of marketing, law, accounting, and finance. Personally, I think this is ideal for me because I was never sure what professional career I wanted to pursue, but now after years of studying different subjects I can safely say my biggest interest is finance. I think my analytical way of thinking aligns with those problems related to finance, and I think that’s why I enjoy it more than law, marketing, etc.

My friends and hobbies are a big part of my life. I’m very fortunate to have a group of friends that I’ve known my whole life, I consider to be my family, and I know that I can always count on them. My main hobbies right now are working out and travelling. Working out is a great way for me to blow off some steam and stay fit at the same time while travelling is something that I don’t do very often because it’s expensive, but I still enjoy doing it even if it’s occasionally.
