As you can tell by now, Cásper Líbero is a Social Communication College. The freshman year is filled with theoretical classes and also gigantic texts overflowing an array of words you’ve never seen before.
Maybe that was not the dreamy experience you’ve always wished having when studying the subjects you used to like while attending high school. Also, you know that this reality will go on and on until your sophomore year. That’s when you’ll start having practical classes.
But, will it take that long? Do I really want it?
Shall we take a ride to our campus radio station?
Gazeta AM is the name of the most open house organ we have at Cásper Líbero. Students from all courses (Journalism; RTVI – Radio, TV and Internet; Publicity; Public Relations) – and it doesn’t matter if you are freshman or senior – can join the shows, which are:
