There are three hypotheses about the origins of the University of Valladolid. A very spread tradition fixes its birth in the relocation to Valladolid of the Estudio General de Palencia, considered the first University in Spain and created between 1208 and 1241 by Alfonso VIII, king of Castile and the Bishop Tello Téllez.

I think my problem is very extended, not only in my university, but in any campus. People with mental diseases are abandoned, I don't feel that I'm understood, teachers expect from me a level of compromise that I can't give beacause my depression but I can't excuse myself. University life could seem awesome but the acadenic experience have a lot of ways to turn it a horror experience.
Universidad sin demasiada diversidad donde encuentras a la mejor gente en actividades relacionadas con ella ya que es la gente activa. El edificio de industriales está enconstrucción y de momento es un caos, esperemos que terminado sea tan práctico como lo venden. Hay profesores de todo tipo, pero predominan grandes profesores, siempre y cuando el alumno preste la suficiente atención como para poder apreciarlos. Suerte!!
The professors are not aware of our background and in some aspects this can lead them to demand us more than they should.
