Public universities are free in my third world country.

You can view the trains from the labs and classrooms.

The campus was originally, erm "train infraestructure zone" along the rails. The main building on campus are reutilized train infraestructures, for example the "Tornavías" was an old circular train garage, with the interchanger still inside.

The new buildings are constructivists

Anyways, if any 'murican chapo looking for selling a kidney to study medicine, universities are free here, and a person can live decently with 350 US$/month renting an apartment. You need to understand spanish, tho

      Well, among other things it teaches "train ingeneering" or something like that.

    It's cheating to not live in a neoliberal shithole raped and pillaged by oligarchs.

        tbf Argentina, Uruguay and Venezuela are the only south american countries where the near-future doesn't look absolutely awful. at least in matters of domestic politics.

          huuuuh, on top of years of economic distress, Venezuela is about to be invaded by the US...

          Personally, given I love mountains and eating seafood, I would like to move to Chile. For any medical thing I can travel back to Argentina, and I would still be close to family anyways. Also, despite the current situation, I have faith in that long boi, r/chile is the only country subreddit that doesn't suck ass, that's got to be something!

            that's why I said domestic politics-wise. I also think that the US blew the timing of an invasion tbh.

            honestly, to me it seems like Chile is the SA country most doomed to neoliberalism, but who knows. apparently the Communist Party is polling well for the upcoming presidential elections lol
            I think that the reason the Chilean sub is good is mostly because the sitting president is right wing and so widely disliked. after a few months of a socdem in power it'll go back to being ass just like every other LatAm sub. /r/brasil has gone through something similar: after Bolsonaro was elected the sub has been ok-ish, while it was a right-wing hellscape from 2014 to 2016/17

            we need a LatAm/South American comm :(

              Heh, r/argentina was shit before, during and after Macri. It's hopeless.

              US blew the timing of an invasion tbh

              They are gonna do it anyway, if they carpet bomb Caracas they will still be reelected in a landslide.

              we need c/latam

              Y E S

                yeah, the only subs worse than /r/argentina are /r/vzla and /r/china. /r/mexico is a contender too.

                They are gonna do it anyway, if they carpet bomb Caracas they will still be reelected in a landslide.

                i do agree that to the US electorate it doesn't really matter, but the US has lost support for war in LatAm imo. i don't think they'll be stupid enough to only have Colombia supporting them.

                But the bastards thought motherfucking c/canvas was a priority

                it really do be like that sometimes

                  Why? Gusanos are ubiquous and evergreen, and Bolsonaro would love to invade too. Are the venezuelan people widely armed or something? Would China do anything? Has China ever done anything to stop the US warmachine, rather the opposite I would say...

    I'm actually struggling to understand why this wasn't implemented at my university that has three campuses about ~5 miles apart from eachother and claims to be a great engineering college yet uses shitty busses to ''ensure'' students are able to get from one campus to another without missing five minutes of class

      Building tracks from scratch is maybe expensive. In the case I showed, they used an obsolete siding track .

      Eerm, what do you mean? It has its good and bad things I guess. I live in Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area and I hate it deeply (I wasn't born here tho) but lots of tourists like it for their reasons.

      About learning spanish, we have a distinctice accent, but not weird dialects if that's what you mean. If you can speak at Dora the Explorer, you'll survive. Most people has at least a (very) basic level of english

      Oh, the campus is 10 blocks away each from three mayor train / bus stations; and sometimes when rains they use a bus from these stations to the center of campus.

        False. Reddit told me Alberto Fernandez is a communist, the other day they officially recognized the DPRK as the only Korea on Twitter and now more trains. Next step? Full communism.
