In a Faculty that lives from students and receives many of them from various parts of the country, it is important to understand who looks after this group of young people when they land in the big city, often without family nearby, or without the sharing of affection at the table when dinner time arrives.

And when they are put to the test in the first years, with exams such as Anatomy or Molecular Biology? What is the balance between the discipline of the hours of study and the time for detachment so that fear and anxiety do not invade all the mental space?

And once all the academic goals have been met, what can Medical and Nutritional Science students look forward to? Only one path? Or several? We interviewed two determined women who defend the students' universe through an Office designed for them, the o Student Support Office.
