Universidade Satelo Branco (UCB)

Lara Matheus
UCB is a renowned university! And not only for the Physical Education course, but also for courses in psychology, nutrition, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and others. I am extremely grateful to have started my undergraduate studies at this university in 2020. It's an eternal gratitude that only those who go through it can understand!

I'm trying to verify a scholarship offered for this campus. I paid the registration fee through Educaca Mais, but when I called to schedule the entrance exam, Castelo Branco informed me that the only undergraduate program I chose is in Realengo. However, the Educa Mais website shows a downtown campus. The service is terrible.

Terrible! Total disregard for students on the part of the administration and ombudsman. I'm having to stop working for 2 months, being harmed and losing my job opportunity, because they haven't delivered my diploma for over a year. They don't answer me, they don't give me any feedback, they really don't care. TERRIBLE!
A free, high-quality university. A wide range of courses, research, outreach, and cultural activities. A diverse and vibrant university with a strong commitment to expanding its campuses into the interior of the state. UERJ is also present in Friburgo, Petrópolis, Cabo Frio, São Gonçalo, Caxias, Resende, and so on.

The night shift receptionist at the sports center provides terrible service! Zero empathy, zero welcoming attitude, zero willingness to help, and you even get a dirty look if you ask a question. She treats us like we're asking for a favor. With so many people wanting to work, it's absurd to have this kind of service.

I've been trying to contact you for days to get information about the entrance exam, registration, and fees for myself and my wife, but no one is responding through any means of communication. What's so difficult about having a functioning administrative office? Communication is essential to attracting new students.
One of the best universities! The infrastructure needs a lot of maintenance, but the professors are excellent. I hope there will be more concern from the population in taking care of what is ours, always vigilant against the crazy schemes that those in power come up with to take education away from the people.

The service for former students, both by phone and email, is a complete disgrace. They don't answer, they don't respond. How can you get a document from them? Impossible. Don't waste your time calling, go directly to the Ministry of Education, the Consumer Protection Agency, I don't know. Just not with them.
