El Rincon Del Vago Uba -

This is critical. At UBA, the same subject (e.g., Economía ) has 10 different cátedras (García, Ferullo, etc.). A summary from Cátedra García is useless for Cátedra Ferullo. El Rincón allows you to filter by professor. If you find a summary for your professor, you have struck oil.

UBA professors are lazy geniuses. They often recycle questions from 2015, 2018, or last semester. The site’s archive of parciales resueltos is gold. You can see the style of your professor—whether they love multiple choice or development questions. el rincon del vago uba

But what is it really like to depend on this site for , Análisis Matemático , or Introducción al Pensamiento Científico ? Let’s break it down. What is it? El Rincón del Vago (The Vagabond’s Corner) is a file-sharing website where students upload summaries ( resúmenes ), past exams ( parciales resueltos ), monographs, and complete study guides. For UBA, it’s organized by faculty (FADU, FCE, Derecho, Exactas, etc.) and by CBC materia. The Good (Why every UBA student has it bookmarked) 1. The Survival Kit for the CBC The first year of UBA is notoriously a filter. Professors assign 400-page PDFs and expect you to extract three key ideas. El Rincón condenses that. Need a 10-page summary of El Príncipe by Maquiavelo for Sociedad y Estado ? It’s there. Need the solved exercises for Análisis from a specific chair (cátedra)? Probably there. This is critical

If you have ever set foot in a CBC classroom or joined a UBA Facebook group, you have heard the whisper: “Bajalo del Rincón del Vago.” For over two decades, El Rincón del Vago has been the unofficial digital library for procrastinating, overworked, and under-caffeinated UBA students. El Rincón allows you to filter by professor

On mobile, the site is almost unusable. Pop-ups, fake “Download” buttons that lead to viruses, and redirects. You need the patience of a saint and an ad-blocker. It feels like navigating a 2005 cybercafé.
