What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000554) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 54 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.3★ — 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.

They advertised a nutrition course starting February 10th, I paid for it, and now they haven't refunded me, even though I've been requesting a refund for over a month. I had to file a formal complaint and I'm still waiting for a response. This university is a complete fraud and a total rip-off.

lcarloszapatag

I like the way the university entrance is managed; it allows for control over who enters the FUSM and prevents it from being taken over by people outside the student community. The library has been remodeled; thank you for allowing me to visit the foundation. ??????? …

Fredy Araque

It's an excellent university, but it's going through some internal issues, but you can't generalize everything in a single context. Fortunately, the government has already made decisions in this regard, and the necessary corrective measures …

If you're visiting in September, I recommend bringing a coat; it gets incredibly cold. The area has good public transport connections and there are restaurants nearby. I have no idea about the facilities; I wasn't inside.

It is a good university, its teachers are characterized by having a warm human feeling, the facilities are spacious and welcoming, and the curriculum is good in their careers.

It's an excellent university, it's a shame that ignorant people like Marcel Kundera make comments without having any knowledge, he's a son of a bitch.

It is an excellent university that has suffered a setback, but they will soon resume operations and everything will return to normal.
