At the UDF, queues, small agglomerations and complaints were registered regarding the address provided by the Enem application, which did not include the correct entry of the students - since the university has two entries: main campus (704/904) and campus Reitor Rezende (903 ).
The student Palloma Vasconcelos, 19, resident of Cruzeiro, lost the Enem test due to the confusion of addresses. She arrived at the scene at 11:40 am, took queues and even entered the campus office, but her name was not on the list of candidates ( see the video below ).
“It was very tumultuous. It took me half an hour to find the room and I got in. There was queuing and crowding as well. When the instructor told me it was in another building, it was only 8 minutes before the gates closed, ”he says. She said she was disappointed with the lack of specification of addresses. "It was a very big disorganization and lack of information, they could have explained it better, precisely because of the proximity of the blocks", he says.
Bruna Balduino, 18, from Cruzeiro, also failed to take the exam (see video below). "We went the wrong way, because we didn't know. We walked for about 10 minutes, we came running, but there was no time, they had just closed the gate," he says.
Crying and misinformation
Excited, student Teane Limeira, 22, says she lost Enem because of the lack of information. She claims to have waited for a bus at Granja do Torto for more than 1 hour and even entered the wrong campus (see the video below). Teane is already studying nursing at a private university and would take the test to try a scholarship.
“Now, I don't even know what to do anymore. I think it is very unfair to people who were already inside the room, with the bag they delivered, and said they could not take the test anymore. This is a huge lack of respect for those who are waiting to do Enem ”, the student revolts.
Public servant Caroline Alvarenga, 34, is 9 months pregnant and had to walk 10 minutes amid the crowd of students and people rushing to the buildings. “I'm finding it confusing. The information was complete on the website. I used the app this year and found it much worse, ”he says.
