Logo Còmic Comic guide to enjoy the first days at Pompeu Fabra University

The first day at UPF is one of the most stimulating and at the same time stressful experiences that exist.

Please... Don't let it show that I'm a fresher...

 

 

 

Three campuses, eight faculties… Poblenou, Ciutadella, Mar… That’s more than 50 times bigger than my old high school!

Classroom 53.101? What bright spark came up with that name?

 

 

 

 

But suddenly… Saved! I found an information desk where they made everything crystal clear.

Could you help me find my place in life?

 

 

 

Oh, I’m sorry. The Miracle Department is undergoing construction works.

 

 

 

 

Of all the spaces and services I was told about, I decided to visit the bar first, of course.

A linden herbal tea to calm the nerves and back to my quest.

 

 

 

 

And then, I went immediately to get my UPF card. I don't like to go around the world undocumented. This year we will have it accessible by mobile phone!

4 years on a degree with that face. I hate passport photos!

 

 

 

 

I was also interested in visiting the libraries, especially the one in the Dipòsit de les Aigües… They say it’s like Hogwarts…

Queuing up to get into a library? Amazing!

 

 

 

But it’s not all books and paper. I also discovered UPF’s technological side.

"VR Seminar Simulator"? What a bizarre video game...

 

 

 

 

I soon realised that the University has a firm commitment to equality and social responsibility.

Small steps to make big changes. That’s what I like!

 

 

 

I was also invited to take part in one of the many activities that UPF offers.

Hi! You must be from the debating league, right?

 

 

 

The options are endless: student associations, sports clubs, orchestra, choir, theatre club… They even have an art circuit!

Does anyone actually study here? Or is it just about having a good time?

 

 

 

 

The best thing about Pompeu is its international atmosphere. Sometimes you forget you’re in Barcelona...

Erasmus in the Netherlands? Find a flat there with a good sofa: I don’t take up much space!

 

 

 

 

And you finish your first day knowing that your future is in good hands here and that you will always be part of the UPF community!

In a few years I’ll be where you are!

 

 

 

I’ve found the perfect job!

 

 

 

I’m going to study a master’s

 

 

 

I’m going to do a PhD

 

 

We are alumni!

That was my first day at Pompeu.

The first of many!
