Studying in
JGM has being a story of love and dislike, I mean at the very beginning, the
first time I arrived at the campus I was shocked. I saw trash and soil everywhere,
for me the green areas men truly GREEN, not a part of grass and the other 80%
just soil… But the girl who introduces me to the campus told me: At the end you’ll
love this, I know I doesn’t look good now, but just give him time.
This was the first image I had of the campus
And I gave
it. During my first year, the time with my classmates in the “pastos” and the Fridays
show me that it wasn’t too bad, that in Santiago what we have in JGM is a
precious space.
But now,
the little we have is being destroyed by the Bicentenario project that takes
our green areas. I know we need more classrooms, it’s a first order necessity, but
we are facing deeply problems like the registry and tuition increase every
year.
Another
thing that worries me is the relation between the campus authorities and the food
traders. In JGM we don’t have enough food shops so the “carrito” sellers are a
good option when we are short of money or hurry.
We have a coordinating
(Coordinadora JGM) that makes easier the communication between the people that
study or works in JGM, but sometimes is not enough.
We as
students should take responsibility of the problems that affect us as a community,
and think more as a community that must be together to face the bigger
problems. We can’t allow that thing like the JG workers reported happens again.
Pd: I'm almost geting use to the "lacrimogena" smell.
