Santiago with the snowy mountains on the background looks amazing. How far do people have to travel to get into a Ski-Winter resort from the city?

not too cold...-2° more or less...
snow falls only in high neibourhoods.

and What is the career you want to study?

eduardo90 · September 1st, 2008, 06:44 AM

Well it has a nice climate I really like cold climates I don't know why.
I don't know what its called in English but in Spanish its called Ingenieria Empresarial I was looking here in Lima in La Pacifico which is the only university that has this career. So if you know of any university in Chile with that career please let me know .

Universidad de Chile and Universidad Catolica are the two best universities, they're among the top 5 universities in Latin America.

ski resorts are close to the city. 46 kms from the downtown, but 20 kms from the urban border

Thanks Maipo! I'll be practicing my sking again this winter. I think, if I'll be visiting Chile it would be Winter season over there.

It is public, but it doens't matter because in order to enter at any university in Chile you have to pass trough the Prueba de Seleccion Universitaria, and with the score you get there you can apply to any university.

Pegasusbsb27 · September 7th, 2008, 05:15 PM

Really spetacular. The geographic location reminds me that of LA.

Really? wow that makes me feel a lot better somehow jaja...I have an IB diploma do you know if it helps at all to get into a university cause I know it helps me here in Peru for some universities...I'm sorry for being so curious it's just that I am practically sure I want to go study to Santiago I just want to find a good university. So tell me more about la Prueba de Seleccion Universitaria and how does it apply to foreigners?

foreigners students don't apply to the university by PSU .. that would be unfair for them in consideration that they dont have knowledge about chilean history. I guess that each university has some special vacancy to receive student comming from outside.
and in the case of privates university, you just have to have enought money.

Yeah, probably, but you have to show some certifications. For example, in my faculty, Economy and Administration in the University of Chile, I have 40 foreign students just in my generation, but I have never asked them about how they entered the university. I will ask them.
