National University

Seriously!

There is NO place like this in Bogotá.

1. Activities by the dozen and magical nights:

• Party

Why go anywhere else to party when you can stay inside the National University.

Inside the National you’re almost 100% out of danger until 11 at night and the music, the minstrels, the happiness of the night can be with you. It’s to say, if you want to party and the National gives you that and more than any place where you’d want to have a fun night.

Movies: If you like artsy cinema at night, faculties in the National University have their great halls available for any kind of interesting movie programmed in the week.

Dance: Every other night tango burns the hearts of the couples.

Library and technology at hand: And if you still haven’t finished your homework then don’t doubt that you will have until late at night the library available and great computer rooms.

2. The view:
   

   
   

   

   
   

If you walk around you’ll surely admire the view, and in it you will see a variety of trees and animals. Any time of the day you can relax alone or with company.

• Ecosystems.
• Animals.
• Trees.
• The view.

3. Green comfort:
   
   

   

   
   

A vast field to sleep, read, run, play or simply to gaze upon the sky. Kids have fun and your companion dog is also welcome, as if it where a park.

4. Culture, science and architecture:
   

   

   

   
   

   
   

Structures in the national are not just walls with ideas and interesting drawings, but also meant to be beautifull and hold art and science. Like it happens in some museums.

5. Night of Romance and joy:

Nights are the most romantic, poetic and beautiful thing imaginable. Specially those nights where there are activities, joy and people. And if you have a couple there’s no better place to have a good moment beside them.

6. A lot of history, ideas, debates and great thinkers:
   

   

   
   

Ideas go hand in hand with history and great thinkers. The national is filled with these and its walls remind us of them. Sometimes we find politics and knowledge in heated debate between students and teachers, but we also see the conflict between ideas and social reality, in some events also violents and hooded people preceded by a social reason with no future.

• The walls of the nacho:
• Great thinkers in its history:
• Debates:

7. The national as a home:
   

   

   
   

But if one day you come with your people from a town far away looking for a place to stay and you bring a reason or social cause you are welcome. Also if you need to cover your basic needs such as sleeping, eating, bathing or getting a comfortable distraction, it is totally possible.
