What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000450) — 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 4.0★ — 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.

The high school and university have well-maintained and clean facilities, although the physical space is small; we hope for growth.
Regarding the quality of classes and teaching, we'll only see it at the high school level in these three years. We'll see how it is and then we'll have some feedback.

Carlos Gerardo Martinez Arredondo

They don't agree, there is no coordination in any of the areas, the phone can ring and ring and no one answers even when you dial the extension. But for payments on the day it's due, be careful and don't worry because they are on top of everything! Even though the school is good, TERRIBLE SERVICE

Itzel Hernandez

Save yourself the trouble of "educating" when many "teachers" are only there for other reasons, they don't have any academic qualifications to prove their position, and this "university" leaves much to be desired. They charge a lot for so little they offer, which is what they're paid for. ? …

Jorge

The perfect representation of this country. Poor management, poor education, classism, and a total lack of interest in students. Do you want to ruin your child's education and values, and at the same time burn thousands of pesos a day? There's no better place than Xochicalco.

LauraLl Cardenas Rodriguez

I had a very bad experience; the finance and administration of the criminal justice program were terribly disorganized. Besides making me repeat hours of my internal and external service due to their own mistakes and lack of responsibility, they also made me repeat them.

José Moreno

Excellent infrastructure, it is known as one of the two universities, private or individual, with the highest prestige for its graduates, mainly in the health and justice sectors. Congratulations, we hope it continues with this vision of growth and constant improvement.

Bere Lara

TERRIBLE PREP SCHOOL, THEY LACK PROFESSIONAL ETHICS, THEY RECEIVE STUDENTS WITH TERRIBLE CONDUCT, NO DISCIPLINE, PARENTS DO NOT INVEST IN THIS SCHOOL, THE TEACHERS ARE NOT TRAINED, DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE CARRIED AWAY BY THEIR FACILITIES, IT IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS,

Salma Garcia

This school is useless. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE FACILITIES. They hire teachers who are not teachers, they do not have fair customer service, they just hang up on you. They are not capable of maintaining an efficient communication system and …

Veronica Romero

Bilingual High School Review: Terrible internal organization. Terrible customer service. Terrible communication with parents. Lack of judgment in resolving student-teacher and student-administration issues. The bilingual system leaves much …

Frida

Terrible experience! I'm in my last semester, and I had an academic excellence scholarship for almost my entire degree. This last semester, they approved it again, and then conveniently canceled it, claiming it's because my GPA isn't high …

Jasmin Aceves

A terrible experience. This school just tries to squeeze money out of you for everything. They force students to contribute to the school fair sales as if it were a public school, they force students to sell and buy tickets for the fair, …

Mariano Sanc.

When this university started, it was housed in a warehouse-like facility, and after so many years, seeing the new location, I understand why they charge what they do for their monthly fees. It's also nationally recognized. ? #marianosanc …

jorge hernandez

A very bad experience. I was sent for a young man and wanted to go to the bathroom. I asked a maintenance worker if he would let me in, and when he came out from a distance, he told me, "I don't have a key, go to the third floor." Seeing …

Gilberto Conde Pérez

There is a lack of pedagogy on the part of some postgraduate teachers, terrible student service, poor follow-up regarding payments, and they force you to buy tickets even if you have to pay. I personally do not recommend it, many headaches.

Noire Doom

The same applies to the Ensenada campus. The experience in the medical and pre-medical courses is extremely discouraging. The professors seem to expect students to take on the role of teachers, when in reality it is their obligation as …

Lily Lupercio

Terrible management! The uniform and book salespeople have terrible customer service, always threatening that you have to bring receipts or they won't give you the uniforms you already paid for! Oh my God! They don't honor scholarships …

Evelia Jiménez

The facilities are very nice, but the service is terrible ?. In my humble opinion, this is the worst university of all. Every time I go, I leave with a headache ?, but oh well, it's the decision of the children who want to be there ? …

Sardinas Enrique

I'd give it zero stars, but the phone doesn't give me that option. I have another child about to start university, but of course, he won't go there, not even as a joke. The organization is terrible; it's like a public school. It's a …

Maria del Carmen Gomez

I am the mother of Isabella, a young woman with a disability who was discriminated against during a guided tour at the Universidad Xochicalco in Tijuana.
Seeing her in her wheelchair, the tour managers decided to end the tour early, …

AJ Jimenez

If I could give zero stars, I would. This university is a disgrace in every way, from the high school level to the administration and teachers. They don't care at all whether their students are grasping, understanding, or receiving …

Alfredo Carranza

In some areas it's very good, but in others the teachers are very mediocre. The problem is that they charge you the same amount, and if you fall behind, they charge interest but don't refund your money. Because of the mediocre and …

Alicia Maya

I received terrible service. The cashier or finance employee was awful; she was very arrogant and rude. ? Improve your service; just because it's an hour before closing time doesn't mean your employees have to be in a bad mood. ?? …

Enrique Olvera

Terrible university, poor administration, poor treatment of students by the finance department. The university claims to have values, but the only value they have is charging more and more; they have no empathy for their students. …

VIRGINIA OCADIZ

I thank you for the invitation to this important event at the Universidad Xochicalco. It was a very well-organized event, and you received so much attention from all the exhibitors. The program was very nice, the participants were …

Rene Tamayo

The university has world-class facilities! Everything is super modern, the latest technology, and the most innovative courses! It's a pleasure to know that such professional educational institutions exist in Baja California!

jaime castan

The worst administration I've ever seen and experienced in my academic career. They don't answer the phone numbers the school itself provides, and they NEVER resolve your questions or problems with their system!

ANA GABRIELA BLANCO ARIAS

I don't know who to talk to or who else to talk to. I've been applying for the degree for months. Several job offers have turned down, and no one is paying attention (nutrition). Help. Who should I turn to?

Veronica Rodriguez

I am a student at Universidad Xochicalco and I think they should put in a smoking area (I don't want to be a secondary smoker) and please give more maintenance to the grass even if it is artificial.

Cecilia Samantha Abril

Terrible administrative and financial service! Truly unbelievable.
2.5 to pay worse than at the bank, and the people in the financial department have a truly terrible service attitude. …

Ramón Hernandez

All they care about is money; their policies and students aren't their real motivation, even though they have some good teachers. In general, they only look out for their own interests.

nelvy rodriguez

Beautiful university! The visit was to the Auditorium for the vaccination, and the service was excellent. The organization, care, and cleanliness are superb. They are doing a great job!

Perla Aydee Gonzalez Ramirez

Terrible organization, 6 and a half hours waiting in line to pay and at the end they tell us that it will not be possible to serve us anymore, that we should come back the next day!!!

Kai Espinozafree

They told us they would take us on a tour, they got us excited and made fun of us for being poor, they arrived an hour later than agreed, one less university on my list ? …

PGN Nava

Don't waste your time or money at this school. The administration is disgusting. They don't answer the most basic questions; it's a waste of money, time, and patience. …

A Contreras

A private university that is moving toward improvement. It offers both in-person and online courses. It offers excellent academic standing in the medical program.

Coco Ramirez

Aside from their extremely poor management, they're corrupt and thieving. I hope they improve one day and live up to the values ??they so passionately instill.

Arq Dgz

It is very far away but getting there was super accessible, the return is very slow and there is traffic because it is on the fast track and the line is quite

Sandra Loaeza
