The master I studied there was a special programme, designed ad-hoc and financed by the UE. It is not a common study programme of Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Anyway, the preparation of the teachers that gave us classes is absolutely excellent and proves that South Americas produces as good professionnals as the rest of the world. My recommendation, as a foreign student there, is to try to talk to teachers and ask them for advice and contacts as often as possible, because the majority of them are deeply implicated in the peruvian political, social and economic life, and can intriduce you to the reality of the country in a priviledge way.

Maybe it exists, but I think a University as PUCP must be implicated in the improvement of Peru's development. The theoretical part of classes is of course necessary, but I think it is also necessary to create in the wealthy students of such an important university a concrete conscience that they are the future and the hope of their country.

Had exhausting it is to live in Lima. Its a pretty dangerous city, You can't afford to fully relax when you go out, have to be aware all the time of your surroundings. The city is very chaotic and noisy. The most depressing thing is the weather! There's a permanent grey sky and you never see the sun! Except during the 3 months of summer (December, January, February).

If you plan to study in Lima, I STRONGLY recommend you go to La Catolica. All the staff (especially the internationaL dept), tutors and students are very friendly and helpful!

Apart from Lima, Peru is one of the most amazing countries on earth!!! (I'm not exagerrating).
I recommend you travel as much as possible, there's so much to see and do. The country has everything, Amazon rainforest, the Andes, incredible desert to stretches forever, and a beautiful coast in the far north! It has to be one of the best destinations in Latin America.

I wish I had documented myself a little more before going, because Peru as such an interesting and intense history and culture... But two years of intense livng ther where ok to get aware of everything, with a little effort and dedication.

As I Said before, the teachers and students are of high quality. Interacting with them, living their reality, being one of them (including going for dinner at the house of you class mates and meet their family) is the best way to enjoy that University.

Peru is an amazing country, but its people is even more captivating. Make firends, if their family comes from "provincia" (out of Lima) ask them if you can spend a WE there with them, travel with friends, share their life, go to the places they go, act like a normal peruvian student, talk to people, make jokes with them (peruvians are very friendly), eat their food, ask them to explain you what you don't understand about the country, the history, the political situation, go to parties with them (peruvians love to dance), accept if they invite you to any celebration, and of course go to Macchu Picchu (WITH A PERUVIAN GUIDE) but DON'T MISS THE JUNGLE (start in Iquitos) because it's one of the most beautiful and nice place in the world. Not only Brazil has the Amazone, don't forget that this mythical river starts in Peru. But definitly, the principal wealth of Peru is its people. Live with them, not next to them.

Don't take travellers cheques, the banks charge a high rate to exchange them. Stick to the atm machines - using your check-in account card NOT your credit cards which are also quite expensive

Stay clear of central Lima at night too risky in terms of safety. The district of Milaflores is ok for clubs and pubs, although it is very touristy and fairly expensive. I recommend the district of Barranco, much mkore fun and traditional of Peruvian culture - great fun!

Food, nightlife and travelling are less expensive i Peru than in Belgium, so I spent proportionnaly less money in Peru for these matters, even if I travelled and went out a night maybe more that in Belgium. In another hand, it was the first time I lives on my own, so obviously I spent more money in accomodation in Peru than in Brussels (even if my appartment wasn't that expensive), and maybe also in food, even if food in Peru is really really cheap. Telephone was a big expense for me, but it was my choice, to keep in touch with my famialy ans most of all with my boyfriend. But it wasn't a disaster neither because I soon found a Internet telephone system (Net2Phone).

Food ans tipical dishes are so delicious in Peru, that I recommend to eat the "Menus" that people cook and serve in small restaurants, anywhere in the city (even in the some posh neighbourhoods such as Miraflores where I lived) for small prices (2 dollars is a maximum price). Eating those menus, you can eat current peruvian cook, and more global dishes arranged i the peruvian way. It's not worth it to got to a fancy tipical folkloric restaurant to eat the delicious ceviche, ají de gallina, cau-cau, chupito de camarón or arroz chaufa. The chinees restaurants, CHIFAS, also offer abundant and cheap menus of delicious asiatic-peruvian gastronomy, simbol of fusio between those two cultures.
