What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000180) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.1★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Mexico yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

nayeli jazmin reyes

It's a shame they call themselves a Personalized Care Institution when they can't even answer the phone, or the operator doesn't transfer to any extension and hangs up. That after-sales experience is traumatic (former student), since you have to do paperwork from home and it's impossible to reach the people who work there.

Florian Rey Fernandez

Sad for some of my friends who have left this university. At one point, I believed that UP was one of the few private universities in Mexico that lived up to its values ??and educational excellence. After their decision, they've only shown the world what it truly is: a business with little educational credibility.

Hector Del Angel

Hmm, I don't know how good it is, but I've seen a couple of people who supposedly graduated from there and their spelling was atrocious; they both wrote EXCELLENT instead of EXCELENT. But hey, if Peña Nieto could graduate from there, I can only imagine the school's incredibly high standards.

Master Angel

The most pathetic university, and it will continue to burn if they don't acknowledge their huge mistake. The worst part is that when the president leaves, that university will fall with him; it will be the laughingstock of the world. It's better to act now than later.

Luka Mon Shoes

I was a student and in my opinion private education is a luxury for those who can afford it. The facilities are very old, as is the approach they take to students. Universities in general need to evolve to offer a truly quality education with the future in mind.

osiris martinez

Without a doubt, its facilities are incredible, the people are very private compared to other universities, dedicated to getting ahead, and its monthly tuition is high but fair for what they offer... It's a shame for Mexico that education is elitist.

Jesus Flores

I don’t understand why they call it Patito University, do you know the 36 thousand graduates? Are they all EPN? There are good ones and bad ones just like in UNAM, IPN, UAM, TEC, it’s pure envy! and SOCIAL and EMOTIONAL LOVING resentment! …

Jorge De León

While looking for options for medicine, I had the opportunity to evaluate this school, and without a doubt it's an excellent choice. The facilities are as simple as what a converted former hacienda can offer, very nice and quiet. However, I …

Pato

This school is terrible, and I'll tell you why. I'm not going to get into the academic level, since I don't know if that's good or bad, but a school isn't just about that. It's also about how a school educates you about society, addressing …

Jose Bordalas

The service from the School of Fine Arts was terrible. Besides having a bad attitude towards those requesting information about the Bachelor's Degree in Music and Innovation, it was very difficult to communicate with the music school. When …

Alejandro Lopez

It's shameful, disgraceful, and above all, appalling how rotten that is in that shoddy school. How is it possible that they do nothing to get rid of such a corrupt, imbecilic, and genocidal character? I'd rather send my children to a real …

Gimnasio Forza

First visit and it's #DISGUISH! What a lack of hospitality from their security personnel! Anyone can get lost. DEALING WITH CRIMINALS doesn't mean everyone is criminal. If they used their parking lot as visitors on weekends, it would help …

Jimena Araiza

The university is good and the professors are generally good, but the facilities are not functional; you have to walk on the street to get to the classrooms that are in houses outside the main building, and the parking is not very convenient.

Selene Mejia

Pan-American University, a great experience, beautiful facilities, a fantastic space for teenagers to study, socialize, and build a bright future. The events held at the university are amazing, the staff is excellent, the students have a …

A L

Terrible service to alumni. They never answer the phone, and when they do, they don't give you any answers. If you ask why they're not answering, they tell you they can't give you that information. If you ask who else can help, they tell …

Richie Caro

An individual doesn't define an entire university, especially when it enjoys greater prestige than many other private universities. The Universidad Panamericana has professors with PhDs specializing in their fields, teachers, as well as …

Omega Garcia

If you don't have white skin, or don't look like you have the money to pay for registration fees, they'll treat you like shit. Even security guards are on the lookout for you to see if you're a criminal. It's pure discrimination at that …

Alberto Vera

I read in the comments that a widespread theme is that they're a very closed-minded institution, from their customer service to age discrimination, poor administrative treatment, and a low educational level. In a Facebook ad (where they …

Virgilio Rubio V.

And here I was thinking that this supposedly good university was going to do something about the plagiarism at ENP, and instead it just wasted the time of those of us who made a sensible request and who believed that at least something …

Jaime Romo

The last word goes to the people who are already studying at this university or those who are about to enter, (who really care about studying in a place where the values ??of ethics, morals and the training of good people do not give a …

Evelyn Cs Pz

Beyond the (dis)prestige of some of its graduates, the architecture of this institution catches my attention, where part of the old Mixcoac workshop (dating back to the 18th century) is interspersed with modern elements, resulting in a …

Alex García

To all those resentful people voicing their opinions about education due to the plagiarism of a former president, they must surely be unique and truly scholarly. Because they must surely feel the same shame about the plagiarism of the …

Mariana Flores

An excellent university, striving to position itself as the best in Latin America. Its tuition is high, but there are also many scholarships available. They offer a Christian-inspired education, based on values and service to others.

Lizette Sánchez

It's a very good university. It's unfortunate that people judge an entire institution and community based on their hatred for one individual, and even more so that they don't investigate all the university's achievements.

Zentli Herrera

What a shame to think that Peña bought his degree at that university. How horrible! And that as a university, they haven't responded properly to the plagiarism of Peña's thesis and are also covering for that idiot. …

Memo Hernandez Ortega

A campus unlike any other. An old colonial building blends with modern buildings. An extraordinary university for Law, Medicine, and Industrial Engineering. They're about to open a new building that looks very beautiful.

Aldo G. Cordourier

Money and power are more important than morals, rules, and good manners. If you identify with its philosophy, this is probably the best "university" for you. A "university" that teaches law and doesn't adhere to it.

DAYDAN, S.A. DE C.V.

An excellent university with a high academic standard and strong values, despite the negative comments from those who try to discredit it. Other universities would be lucky to have such excellence and recognition.

Rodrigo “Saprolido” Hernández

Excellent facilities. Many beautiful spaces. Large gardens and at least five cafes. There are banks and all the necessary services. Excellent education, especially in communications and postgraduate studies.

Leonardo Rodriguez

Excellent institution. I studied both my undergraduate and graduate degrees here and have nothing but positive comments. High academic standards, excellent personal treatment, and very nice facilities.

Alfredo Tapia-Carreto

An excellent university to begin creating the connections necessary to enter today's working life: the university pretends to prepare you and guide your thesis, and you could even become president.

Ilse Nova DR

The cost of the medical program is totally worth what they offer. The facilities are beautiful and very welcoming. It's simply a school with a very high educational level and a lot of prestige.

Oscar lozada

Poor quality of professors, how can it be called a credible university if they plagiarized a thesis? Noooo Mexico is getting worse and worse, a corrupt president and a very bad institution. …

Miguel Angel Villasis Keever

Although it remains closed for classes, the service for administrative procedures is very efficient and friendly. Appointments are required, and hygiene measures are strictly enforced.

rodrigo francisco

Very bad, today they denied me entry to take the UNAM exam just because I brought a copy of my INE (voter ID) since I was the victim of an assault and didn't have my original ID.

Guillermo Ramirez

A university lacking the courage to teach a life lesson, it's a shame they've put the noose around their own necks, great graduates who are pathetic because of their ignorance.

Era “Andy” R

The university is rather small; you have to go outside to find your way to another faculty building. However, the staff are very friendly and there's a good level of security.

??? ?????????

One of the worst Mexican universities in the quality rankings, the fact that imbeciles like Enrique Peña Nieto are graduates of it is proof of its lack of academic rigor.

María Dolores Montaño

Having EPN as a distinguished graduate, after the proven plagiarism found in his thesis, definitely speaks volumes about the university's excellent academic standing. …

j.a. fabila

Weren't you the ones who gave Enrique Peña Nieto a copied diploma? We haven't forgotten your complicity and shared responsibility in such an unfortunate administration.

Alfredo Romero

The arrogant students terrorize neighbors and local businesses alike. They think they have divine rights just because they have money. I wish they would leave Mixcoac.

Juan Noriega

This is the Pan-American University, I'll buy a high school diploma and go "study" at this university, after all, if I plagiarize my thesis, there's no problem here!

Andrés B

Very high prices, a lack of conscience on the part of a Christian school. The atmosphere is very peaceful, but it's also wrong to allow smoking on the premises.

Clo Miranda

The programs they offer have a wide variety of study options. Common areas such as classrooms and laboratories allow students to make the most of their classes.

Carlos Mejia

Excellent university, they instill values ??and ethics, there's a family atmosphere, it's cutting-edge, and it's located in a very quiet area of ??Mexico City.

José Fernando Padilla Garzón

It's a beautiful university aesthetically speaking.
It's also the best law school in the country, with the best professors and the highest academic standards.

Eduardo Jurado

Located in an old town, it is one of the best universities to study Law and Medicine, Engineering has just opened a new building with first-class facilities.

Guinnes1944

Those who form their judgments based on sensationalist news tendentiously reported by a wounded journalist seeking revenge have no place in this university.

MetalCooler varias

It seems that this university only teaches you to grow, regardless of destroying half the world in its progress, let alone its famous cheating graduates.

Rodrigo Jiménez Salgador

A great educational institution with a high academic standard and a focus on values. Keep up the good work in the holistic development of your students.

Adrian Dominguez

They put outstanding students... and the president plagiarized his thesis... if that's the way to see a student, outstanding... it's not a good school.

Benojy Smith

It shouldn't be called a university; they completely ignore the concept of universitas, and you can't have an opinion different from their ideologies.

DERVISH JHONSON

I couldn’t ask for a better treatment and academic level . This university thrives on what they do . It’s a absolute honor to be a student of UP

Ernesto Duran

It's an excellent academic place, a campus unlike any other, with excellent colonial-style facilities, and it's also close to the police university.

Paulina Carol González Negrete

THE WORST SCHOOL (Engineering)
- They charge you for EVERYTHING
- They don't provide any facilities; you have to BEG (sometimes even begging …

Alex CR

Part of what was the old Mixcoac workshop where fabrics, especially silk, were woven in the 18th century for important people of the time.

Benjamín Granados

Terrible. "Academic Excellence"? His true academic standing has become abundantly clear with the case of Enrique Peña Nieto's thesis.

Charly Chavez

All the effort a student puts into getting a university degree, and you've just insulted that effort. Congratulations, ducklings.

Carol 2.0

Good morals and values: extremely expensive. There are almost no professors for the Animation and Video Game Engineering program.

Berelendy Joselin Romo Ceron

I was really excited to enroll in this school, but after reading the reviews, I think I'll go with other options instead. ?? …

Sergio Daniel Zaragoza Castillo

At mapaton2017 I saw that the access to the university is good for people with disabilities, although the floor is rocky.

Cristian Melendez

Excellent university and by far the best in Mexico, even if it hurts the feelings of several socially resentful people.

Gynn Abbapin

Hello, I would like to know if your students can help me with a divorce process... they told me that you can help me...

Luis Angulo

I studied at UP 15 years ago and I am very grateful for the training that has served me well in my professional life.

EvAt07

The area is very quiet, has a very good location, the facilities are very nice, everything is very well maintained.

Hector Andrade

How much does a law degree cost? Someone please pass me the info, and when I become president, I'll pay you back.

Carlos López

I wouldn't study here in a million years. Racism + Elitism + Fraud, no comment on their potential future careers.

Alita OK

It's sad that they aren't taught civic education; they leave their cars blocking neighbors and closing streets.

Kenia Gisselle

If plagiarizing a thesis gets you a degree here, I'm going to avoid this cheap, unethical, and corrupt option.

Luis Armando Nieto Hernández

Great university, and especially its master's degree in Constitutional Procedural Law, from which I graduated.

Lili Gamboa

A university with humanistic values ??and training, a rich history, and the birthplace of great professionals.

Rubén Escobedo

The best private university. Where you make the best friends. High academic quality and personal development.

Juliana Vermelho Martins

A place full of history, in a wonderful 16th-century building. We took a guided tour which was spectacular.

Alex B.

It is a quality institution and its classrooms have top-notch facilities and highly qualified teachers.

Rodrigo Sánchez

Excellent university, demonstrated by multiple exams, awards, recognitions and great personalities

ANI Word

I went to visit the facilities and it is without a doubt the University I would like to go to.

Andrés Landa

Enrique Peña Nieto is remarkable? They should be ashamed of themselves as a sham university.

Carlos Cázares

The best university, great professors and values. Proud graduate of the engineering faculty.

Stephy Rojano

How can I contact you? It's always a problem trying to dial, the call always gets cut off!

Hugo Enrique Sánchez

It's a great place to work and study. The building is historic and very well maintained.

antonio martinez perez

They should only include people who have served the country and not those who serve it.

Javier González López de Cárdenas

Excellent university with a high academic standard and very demanding requirements

Janice Andres

The university is very good, you come out super prepared, and it pays very well.
