CNG I don't know what you're looking for in a school, but here's my take on Colegio Nueva Granada. Socio-economically, it's about as upscale as it gets. Clearly one of the most expensive schools in Bogota (and therefore Colombia); kids with bodyguards, chauffer, or driving their own car are not uncommon. On the other hand, the academic level in general is very good; a relatively high percentage of graduates go on to attend college in the US. All-around, one of the elite schools of Bogota.
In practice, this means your experience will be exciting with the many highly motivated, achieving students. But it will also be quite frustrating with the many spoiled "hijo de papi" students there are as well. I have met quite a few CNG gradutes, and with most of them I either have a great friendship or try to avoid them as much as possible.

Hijos de papi and almost "intocables".... A student from one of those expensive schools in Colombia raced out of the school in his car and killed a woman who was selling goods at a roadside stand. The other students, his friends, were concerned that something might actually happen to him, he might be punished, or might even go to jail. They were angry at the idea of any kind of punishment because the woman was, and these are their words, "just a fritanguera". Of course, the parents of the boy did manage to avoid having any charges brought against him for killing the woman and he was not punished. But what hurt me was the elitist attitude and total lack of concern for the suffering of the family. That "fritanguera" was the wife of one of the maintenance workers at the school. But to the "hijos de papi" her death was no great loss, certainly nothing that would warrant punishment. These are the future leaders of Colombia, the ones who go on to Javeriana and Los Andes to become lawyers and politicians.

Impunity starts at home Never too young to benefit from a culture of impunity, I guess.

I study at Colegio Bolivar in Cali ...that's the brother school for Nueva Granada in Bogota, and I can tell you, is the best of the best. You will have a great experience, you will met interting people and would work on a very confortable place with a high salary. Go for it, and enjoy.

Either extremely snotty or very friendly I actually met like twelve of them on friday at a UN model conference.
Started talking with some of them with my friend, who was black.
Had good conversation with one of them, but i couldnt help and notice that everytime her friends looked at my buddy they sort of looked down at him.
anyway that one chick was very friendly but rest were really rascist. they acted that way the whole conference, not only to my friend.
