What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000286) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 106 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.6★ — 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 Colombia 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.

Andres Millan

It's a very comprehensive university with facilities well-suited to the various professional programs they offer. Unfortunately, there's a lot of red tape involved in certain processes, but overall, the staff is very attentive and helpful. There's parking available on campus, and the different buildings are easily accessible.

SANDRA MILENA HURTADO

I have come on several occasions to receive emergency medical attention, but it is always too delayed. The Red Cross that attends to emergencies used to be much better; now you can spend all day sitting in pain and the service is very slow. I have been here for two hours and they still haven't attended to me.

Carmen Saldaña

A very well-designed university, with a clear focus on sustainability. It's clear they practice what they preach. They have very good areas related to health and some basic sciences, but they need to focus more on strengthening their School of Humanities and Communication Sciences. First-class facilities.

Oscar Cabeza

El Bosque University, in my case, has a strong demonstrated commitment to teaching, research, and community outreach on bioethics topics. It is a pioneer and leader in Colombia in promoting a culture of bioethics. It is recognized nationally and internationally. It is a high-quality university.

Pedram Fanian

The university hospital, Los Cobos Medical Center, never answers their phones or WhatsApp. It's a disgrace to the country. I'd like to see all the top executives at Los Cobos Medical Center resign because it's very obvious they're in their positions through influence, not competence.

Amigo

The lack of humanity shown by the faculty and academic coordinators is appalling. They don't care about ruining a person's university career, their dreams, their time, and their money. They are abusive and ruthless with students. They truly don't care about ruining a person's life.

GABRIEL EFRAIN VALLEJO NARVAEZ

Los Cobos Clinic offers excellent personal and professional attention, spacious and clean facilities, and Dr. José Leonardo Guerrero Cardozo is such a kind and friendly person. He's a great orthopedic surgeon and provided excellent medical service to my wife. Thank you so much!

Jose Alvarez

I am very grateful to all the doctors, nurses, receptionists, and security staff for providing such excellent service. Thank you for the care during my sister's stay after she underwent heart surgery again. Thank you so much.
Many blessings to the surgeon, Dr. Santos Calderón.

Roberto Llano Acosta

Their customer service is lacking. In the continuing education department, for courses and diplomas, they have the contact information for an advisor, but she doesn't respond to WhatsApp or emails. They need to improve this significantly because they're losing applicants.

Bryan Canchila

Terrible service at the student finance payment counters.
The lady didn't have any change and was on the phone while she was answering the call. After the incident, I had to go out and exchange the bill, as she couldn't solve the problem. 10:20 12/13/19

Jose Alejandro Gutierrez Avila

Excellent University, fully organized, especially in these times of COVID-19. Its biosafety protocols are highly relevant and promote perfect flow throughout the facility. Especially the student-friendly facilities at the Student Success Center.

fernanda torres

A very good university with a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in various modalities tailored to current needs. It has partnerships with other educational institutions, expanding the course offerings. It boasts renowned faculty.

santiago malambo

The truth is that this is a university that still has a long way to go to be among the best. When current situations arise, they don't try to solve them in the best way, but rather by silencing them by giving grades to students who complain …

David GP Hernández

A private university with high-quality accreditation. Its academic offerings are varied and include undergraduate and graduate programs in all areas of knowledge. The Usaquén campus is impeccable, and they have a comprehensive campus in Chía.

Lucia U

This private university is located at 134th and 9th. It boasts several high-quality, accredited academic programs and an excellent hospital. It's a great place to study, with a terrace offering incredible views. Smoking is prohibited on the …

SANDRA GONZALEZ

I had outpatient surgery, and the team that attended to me was very professional and efficient. However, my dissatisfaction arose when it came time to pay for parking. I had to go all the way to the next building to pay. I don't understand …

Miguel Salcedo-Gomez

Terrible. A disrespectful, mediocre experience that reveals an unacceptable lack of organization. I wasted my time trying to enroll in a specialization program in Family and Community Health; scheduling an interview was a pain. The lack of …

Jorge Perea Latorre

Although I'm sure this opinion won't have any impact, I want to tell you that you're being abusive to your neighbors. It's outrageous that the noise you've been generating since yesterday (last night until 10:30 and today since 7:00 a.m.) …

Harol AnDrums.

It's a beautiful place with amazing buildings. I really liked the facilities, and when I came to participate in #lideraelcambo, I loved sharing with such well-prepared and self-determined people. I like the academic atmosphere here, and I …

Sandra Guerra

It's a good university, but its applicant service process leaves much to be desired. The campus tour was very informal, led by a person who had no information and couldn't answer most questions. Then, they pass you through another person …

Natalia Parra

I was in Canada last year, I lived with a medical graduate from this so-called university, we had differences and she proceeded to kick me out of the homestay where we lived, it was annoying and uncomfortable, it made me feel bad, I hope …

ANGELA JIMENEZ

I'm a graduate, and now that I live in another country, even before I left, the University has been providing me with support (just like when I was a student and would rush to the faculty for paperwork; they made me feel right at home). …

Juli Mate

I studied there for a semester, and honestly, the service is very good. It has new facilities and many activities like dance, a gym, a game room, and cafeterias, in addition to the academics. You also feel like they genuinely care about …

ana julia rojas

Access is organized on Carrera 9, and the exit is on the opposite side, which I think is very good. Although there are parking spaces available, the effects of underdevelopment are evident. Some people park on the street, making traffic …

DARIO ALEJANDRO GARCIA RAMIREZ

Prestigious university in the north of the city with several access routes. Features include three main entrances, a science museum, an astronomical observatory, an amphitheater, a gymnasium, soccer fields, laboratories, and an adjacent …

CARLOS HERNANDO MURCIA GONZÁLEZ

With respect, for me, it is an excellent University, I have colleagues and friends who are graduates and are successful professionals. I have taken countless courses in Medical Update for many years. Its facilities are pleasant, you can …

Bernardo Delgadillo

The master's programs don't offer the quality a true master's degree deserves. They lack established regulations, and the administrators don't support students in achieving their academic goals. This university seems solely focused on …

Esteban Anzola Rodríguez

Although I never had a particularly memorable time at this university, I learned a great deal and was truly trained as a real engineer, which I am grateful for today in the work and studies I am currently doing and have done in the past.

Carlos Pilonieta

Terrible service when communicating, they never answer on the PBX or any of the extensions, the chat bot is useless and they don't respond to emails either, they are only ready for the person to register and after that no one responds

Hansen Hernández

A very comprehensive university, it boasts an extraordinary campus in terms of architectural design and functionality. Its materials are well integrated with nature, offering a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs. Its …

Fernanda Palomino

I'm in my second semester of a major, and the experience has been disappointing. The university offers courses with pretentious names, but in reality, they teach us basic concepts like creating pivot tables and adding in Excel. …

Haroldo Enrique Diaz Ramos

From the moment my daughter, Maria del Pilar Diaz Reyes, graduated from there until today, her growth has been remarkable, both structurally and academically.
My congratulations, and may she continue to make steady progress.

Alejandra Isaza

A variety of academic programs and facilities are constantly being updated for the benefit of the student community. For information, check the entrance to the ninth floor or visit the website. #LetsGuide

LUZ MARINA APONTE ALDANA

I attended the entrepreneurship fair for the tenth-semester students of the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education.
I thought everything was very nice and organized.
Congratulations! ? ? …

Fabian

I had the unfortunate experience of participating in the admissions process for a master's degree at Universidad El Bosque, and I was deeply disappointed with the way the university is managed. …

Luis Miguel Tamayo Gaviria

A private university located on Carrera 9 in northeastern Bogotá. It is relatively new compared to the other higher education institutions in Bogotá. Its medical school is a notable institution.

juan francisco posada herreño

Its facilities are very spacious, very clean, everything was very tidy and in the back there is no external parking space, on the side there is a semi-bay. Which is where the cargo entrance is?

Paulo Mix

Excellent educational offerings; the programs are up-to-date and very well-suited to the demands of the current market. The only thing to review is the program prices, which are a bit high.

Humberto Morales Rocha

It's a good university with a variety of excellent and innovative academic programs, such as Biomedical Engineering, and specializations or master's degrees in mental health, among others.

katy ruba

The Los Cobos Clinic is the University of the Forest's clinic. Its facilities are modern, and its rooms are comfortable, with electric hairdryers and large windows. The staff is friendly.

Neyla Padilla

Very clean facilities, very attentive doctors and nurses, they ruled out all types of illnesses through tests, perhaps speeding up the service a little more since there were few patients

Mona

The Biology program is sorely lacking that most people drop out. I don't recommend it. I hope they improve. The facilities everyone talks about are nice, but the education isn't great.

Paula G Tayo

The auditorium where we were, very comfortable and suitable for learning activities, has an Oxxo convenience store at its entrance, which makes it perfect for grabbing a coffee, haha.

Liliana Ruiz

Actually, I didn't go to university, I was at the Los Cobos clinic, located at the foot of the river, visiting a friend who is in a very delicate condition... The clinic is excellent.

Pedro Guillem

Excellent university and approach. Very organized and sophisticated in their admissions process. The spaces are very well designed, and their team is friendly and professional.

Cristina Rodriguez

An excellent clinic.
Their team of doctors and healthcare staff are brilliant ?.
Thank you so much. They've been wonderful people I've had to deal with my health problem. …

Alejandro Lara

The facilities are very nice, but the music rooms are lacking a lot. The music program is wonderful, but I don't fully recommend it if you don't really like jazz. …

Saray

They deleted all the students' personal information just to save money. What awful people! We were counting on important things and overnight everything disappeared.

CARLOS ANDRES CARDENAS TAMAYO

Although I'm a master's candidate, they didn't treat me properly. I decided not to insist any further. If they don't want me among their graduates, I understand.

Jairo Zabala

I suggest considering setting up a covered space for people who need to park electric vehicles such as bicycles or skateboards that cannot be left outdoors.

Yulian Savino Fonseca Cortés

This university is very bad. You have to beg to enroll. It has terrible teachers and the scholarship system is a lie. There should be a 0-star option. …

martha elena camacho niño

Welcoming, important activity on ecosystem integration, spectacular art and dance at the Night of the Museums, thank you for such a beautiful presentation

Andrea A

It's a very beautiful university, but they've neglected the biosecurity aspect a bit, and likewise, the administrative processes are slow and tedious.

Oscar Avellaneda

Excellent facilities and university. The parking lot is very good.

However, there are two entrances, and the parking lot doesn't allow entry via …

David Esteban Forero Rodriguez

Excellent academic quality, constantly improving infrastructure, and a comprehensive educational model. A wide variety of programs are offered.

Iván Molano Camacho

Modern, beautiful building, in an excellent location, you don't have to go to the center of Bogotá, and it's also an excellent university.

racional

The students are mediocre and the class standards are very low....there are better universities,....the only good thing is the facilities

Luis Eduardo Guzman

I found it excellent. All the facilities are super large and very nice. I recommend the grün restaurant right there at the university.

Julia Brociner

It wasn't the university, but the Los Cobos clinic. Wonderful. Such excellent care. And the modern facilities. Excellent in every way.

Luz stella Romero

Honestly, it was wonderful. A beautiful sense of responsibility and commitment. So kind. Congratulations, the best in Bogotá! ? …

Jorge Alfredo Moros Contreras

The architecture is horribly messy. Security doesn't help you find your way around the messy campus. And it's very noisy everywhere.

Clau God

The service is very friendly; they take the time to listen to the parents who arrive at the Finance office with so many questions.

onradmin7

It's excellent, adapted for all types of national and international visitors, even those with disabilities...it deserves 5 stars

Edwin Amado

I found it today, January 16th, with around 8 users, but even so, the service at the reception office seemed quick and timely.
