Ucaldas campus
The campus of Ucaldas is located in Manizales. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax. Foreigners who come to Ucaldas through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
