What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000725) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 55 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.

Lina Gabriela

I didn't have a direct connection to the university, but I have been to the Palmira campus facilities on several occasions, and they are very comprehensive. I took the ICFES exam there twice, participated in seminars, completed theoretical practical training for nursing assistants, and attended events in the auditorium as well.

Alejandro Ardila Varela

The educational level is lamentable; some medical teachers leave much to be desired. And those who do not comply with the academic curriculum will only get paid. How is it that there is no dean for the 2024 period? Please review the processes as well as the continuous evaluation.

Janneth Acosta

Congratulations to the University; it's running an excellent campaign and making a great social contribution at a time when health and access to healthcare are a priority. A round of applause for the Santiago University, Palmira campus, and for the Palmira Mayor's Office.

bernabe fajardo

With respect and admiration for the progress of our university, I must make an observation: The university has been characterized by helping low-income students, so why don't they receive the aid that the mayor's office provides to the Afro-Colombian organization?

Terrible vaccination management on November 5, 2021. Lines started at 3:30 p.m. The department's announcements said it was from 5 to 8 p.m., but they started serving patients at 6:30 p.m. It's now 9:12 p.m. And here I am, yet to be vaccinated.

It's a campus that includes a hospital for medical, physiotherapy, and nursing practices next door. It also has a legal clinic for law students and an excellent court for sports such as volleyball, basketball, and futsal.

Kelfer Navia

The prestigious Santiago de Cali University, with its campus in Palmira, is growing little by little and is establishing itself as one of the best and a major educational benchmark in the Villa de las Palmas!

stelia mercado

When we lined up, social distancing wasn't maintained, and when the nurses came in to explain the vaccination procedure, they couldn't be understood. Thank you very much for your attention.

Jair Velez

What a spectacular cleanliness! What a beautiful way to treat the users in that facility. Congratulations, you're amazing for your humanization. Thank you.
