Universidad de San Buenaventura

Universidad de San Buenaventura, in the city of n capital of Cali, was founded in 1708 by the Franciscan community. It was not until 1747, however, that it began to operations, under the direction of a Franciscan friar, and under the royal decree of Ferdinand VI of Spain.
The university’s flag has two stripes: orange, signifying youth, vigour and energy, and black, representing sobriety, austerity and elegance. A rousing university anthem echoes these themes. 
Still guided by the Franciscan spirit, the university today offers degrees across five faculties: psychology; humanities and educational sciences; engineering; economic and administrative sciences; legal and political sciences. 
There are now four campuses – in Bogotá, Medellín, Cali and Cartagena – none of which offers official accommodation for students. Instead, students typically rent off-campus apartments or rooms in shared houses.
The institutional well-being team oversees student clubs and societies. These come under two designations: culture, such as dance, theatre, music, visual arts and photography; and sport, including volleyball, football, futsal and basketball. There are also a health promotion and prevention service, which includes a nursing team.
