My favorite place in Santiago is the Juan Gomez Millas Campus of the University of Chile in Macul neighborhood. I was there for the first time in 2002 with a friend that studied anthropology. In that time I love it because represented for me a space when we meet different people with the same philosophical ideas or ideology of life. I was a dreamer secondary student in that moment. Two years later I can join the university life as a student of art history. But when we have sometimes wished other things, two years later I went to live to Buenos Aires to study there, in awful concrete building of five levels without green areas, with only have a very small schoolyard of concrete too. There studied as a million of stressed people without place to rest (neither the eyes, because the walls was completely occupy with politic propaganda) and without space to do “university life” (in the sense of “nothing”).   In that time I really miss Juan Gomez Millas, with its lawns and trees, its football field and lunchrooms. But overcoat with its very relax and funny students.

Return to university in Chile was a very nice experience in that way. And now that I´m finishing my career I miss this place again. For that I have thought do a Master in History in the future. For return one more time.
