Paula de Oliveira Thiele claims to have lived one of the best experiences in her time as a student. She, who belongs to the University of Washington, where she develops communication studies, went to León within the framework of one of the programs that are developed through the headquarters that this North American university has in the capital.
His presence, however, was part of a new model that unites the educational part with the training through his presence in León. On this occasion, it was up to her to multiply her experience by working at the City Hall of the capital.
“Unforgetable experience”
Now, back at the third university in the United States, the 14th in the world, he claims to have had an “unforgettable experience.”
And with her, hand in hand, Leon has traveled. Paula de Oliveira Thiele has been interviewed in recent days by the Univisión channel and there she has recounted the “Leonese experience.”
“León is like being at home,” he assured, before inviting all the students at his university to take advantage of the close link between León and Whashington. «The people are very friendly and the first week you will already have friends. Everything is much easier when there are so many good people around », she remarks in the interview.

On Univision
The Univisión presenter recalls throughout the interview that the University of Washington is “renowned worldwide for its academic excellence” while inviting Paula to narrate what she experienced during her time in León: “It has been wonderful… . I want to come back”.
«I was working in the City Council. Working in politics is something totally different. I learned a lot about how this type of communication works. You learn communication tools and you can put them into practice and it has helped me to be a more open professional », she acknowledges.
The union between Leon and Washington
The union between León and the University of Washington is something exceptional in the European educational framework as this North American university has only two branches in all of Europe (León and Rome), hence the importance of an agreement that has been going on for more than one of each.
Paula de Oliveira Thiele is just one of the many cases of students who have become Leonese ambassadors on a bridge between two cities that are more than 5,000 kilometers apart.
