Martha Patricia Mendez Montalvo
Don't waste your money. This university is good academically, but administratively, it's the worst thing you can expect. They take months to issue a certificate, and then they don't respond when my "potential employer" wanted to verify it.
Once you pay your tuition, they don't care what happens to you.

Universidad del Norte Programa de Medicina

Jorge Luis Mejía Narváez
This university is characterized by its high-quality education, offering undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs in diverse fields of knowledge, including both the hard sciences and the humanities. It boasts excellent infrastructure, including ample green spaces, a library, and a bookstore.
This innovative university on the coast offers undergraduate, graduate, master's, and doctoral degrees. Its various programs are accredited by the Ministry of Education. The university offers a wide range of language courses and other offerings, and provides high-quality service.
It's the best university in the Caribbean region, located at Km 5 of the highway to Puerto Colombia. It offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate programs. It's well connected. The environment is modern, the professors are qualified, and it has exchange agreements.
The service is terrible if the person doesn't have the money to pay for the semester in cash. The treatment from the admissions office is awful. I've paid the PIN three times and they've left my son out because it's through ICETEX. They don't know the pain they cause.

The most prestigious and important university unit on the continent, with all its academic, administrative, missionary and location curricula in line with global regulatory requirements and a work team with extensive training, academic and administrative experience.

Universidad Metropolitana Programa de Medicina

Carlos Samuel Henao de la Hoz
Excellent university with good health sciences programs, very good facilities, and located within the city, close to everything. It has a prestigious reputation with excellent postgraduate programs and is situated in a very good residential and commercial area.

Universidad Metropolitana Programa de Medicina

paola andrea garcia gonzalez
A university that requires cash payments, doesn't accept ICETEX loans, deceives applicants into believing they'll be accepted (they're only interested in the money), has bathrooms without toilet paper, and horrible facilities. It doesn't deserve even one star.
