My favorite place in the
old viejo university

My favorite place in the university is the music conservatory. In this place I am very happy,
I can study and have fun with my classmates. the conservatory is opposite to the SINDU,
in the behind is the León de Greiff, in front there is a small garden. The conservatory has
many small rooms, in these rooms there are chairs, a table, a piano, Windows and a door.
We also found three auditoriums for concerts, a photocopier, and the secretary. The
teachers of the conservatory are very lively, intelligent and professional people. My clarinet
master is very good, he is of medium height, white and smooth hair, dark skin and a great
personality. the conservatory is like my second or third home.
