Rodrigo Auffinger

The oldest and most traditional university in Paraná, it's a tourist attraction in Curitiba, especially for its classic architecture and location in the city's central square. Winter fairs are common, as well as themed shows (Christmas, Easter, etc.) held in the square in front of the building. It's worth a visit if you're a tourist.

Rafael Pinto Ribeiro

Historic building. A splendid construction with its imposing classical architecture. The exterior facade is well preserved, but the interior suffers from a lack of proper maintenance. The public employees seem to suffer from a very strong reluctance when it comes to interacting with people... But the building, as I said, is fantastic.

Gabriel Zaude

I would like to express my gratitude to this excellent university for the education of a dear friend who now lives in Curitiba. She studied architecture and is now a highly regarded professional, of whom I am very proud. I thank this renowned and prestigious university for the education of my dear friend. Thank you.

Lex Miranda

UFPR (Federal University of Paraná) does not have a transparent process! It's impossible for a university that offers so many places to rely solely on the first public, nominal call for applications! It seems the fraud isn't just in the scholarships; perhaps everything needs to be investigated!

Israel Novak Cordeiro

One of the most elegant universities in Curitiba, I believe it's the dream of a large number of teenagers to study in this wonderful place. Besides the beauty of the university, it also boasts a very beautiful square, Tiradentes, which is certainly another of Curitiba's iconic landmarks.

Mumu S. S.

What irresponsibility to cancel the police exam at the last minute. I simply cannot put all my indignation into words here. I'm here in Curitiba, I came from another state, I spent money on a hotel, tolls, gas, my time, a babysitter, food, not to mention the hatred I feel towards you.

Eduarda Pereira

A great place to stroll with pets and children, who can ride the Ferris wheel, in addition to enjoying a walk that no one can resist. The plaza has benches, cool shade with a refreshing breeze and pleasant light, and there's a snack bar across the street with a variety of quick bites.

Guilherme Leonardo

A leading university in several fields, and the oldest in Brazil. Buildings with excellent infrastructure, highly qualified professionals, and respect for the institution. UFPR plays a relevant role in public policies for social inclusion, through research studies and volunteer work.

Philippe Soares

I visited an art exhibition that was taking place. It was an interesting exhibition. Since it's right in the center, the surrounding streets are very busy. But overall, what makes the atmosphere more peaceful is a small square right in front, with some araucaria trees and a fountain.

Luiz Alberto de Souza

Great place to visit. Its amphitheater is still used today for performances and graduations. Very cozy. The administrative area serves the rector of the Federal University of Paraná. Flanked by two university buildings, it is an architectural ensemble designed by Oscar Niemeyer.

Mireliakolarovicsa

The best federal university in the country, where most students want to study and graduate. They have several courses of excellent quality. The place is beautiful, clean, and organized, in addition to many centers and laboratories. It is well-lit and has many cameras.

Tanea Domaradzki

Beautiful building. Construction, located in Santos Andrade Square, began in 1913, a year after the founding of the University. The project by military engineer Baeta de Faria consists of a single five-story block with a central dome. It was inaugurated in 1915.

Nahor Lopes

The Dom Pedro I and Dom Pedro II building complex of the Federal University of Paraná houses the UFPR's main administration building as well as the Department of Human Sciences. There is a chapel and the UFPR theater on the site, as well as a large courtyard.

The Federal University of Paraná, UFPR, a traditional and very serious institution, so many stories and memories in the corridors of the main building... I myself studied here until mid-2002, many memories, many struggles, a great desire to …

Giovanna Pereira

The building, based on the neoclassical style, is simply a sumptuous demonstration of Curitiba's beautiful architecture. Between the Corinthian columns, one can look up and contemplate the grandeur of the building. A must-see tourist attraction.

Augusto Vasconcelos

Founded in the 20th century, the Federal University of Paraná is located in the center of Curitiba, opposite Santos Andrade Square, another tourist attraction in Curitiba. The university has a Greek-style architecture and is well worth a visit.

Diablo Rojo

Congratulations to the UFPR ombudsman for defending a student who threatened a classmate with death, saying that she no longer studied there and therefore couldn't do anything (when in fact she was even part of the high school observatory). …

Considering the disservice that Deltan Dallagnel rendered against the man most concerned with investing in EDUCATION... Deltan is trash to be removed from the "notable people" category and placed among the "ABOMINABLE PEOPLE." May he occupy …

Luis Henrique

The buildings are beautiful and hold a rich history. The Law building has historical artifacts and portraits of the first graduating classes, from the 1920s onwards. It's a shame to see that the University was on strike, even displaying a …

Today I'm here to share my experience with wisdom teeth removal. Everyone deserves praise, from the reception to the surgeons. I had 4 wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday, 3 on top and 1 on the bottom. The doctor was super attentive. I have …

Absurd requirements to enroll in the Sign Language (Libras) Letters course! They offer courses for people who already have an advanced level in the language! Only those who already know it because they have deaf relatives, are experienced …

Rosana Albuquerque

I believe it is urgently necessary to review the publication of notable alumni from UFPR. In the current political context, the first photos of "notables" that appear on the first page of the website implicitly convey a political stance …

IGOR LEITE SOUSA

A must-see historical and cultural landmark in Curitiba. Anyone who enjoys this type of attraction shouldn't miss it because the Federal University of Paraná was the first public higher education institution in Brazil. Unfortunately, I …

A fundamental institution for the state and the country. In addition to undergraduate and postgraduate courses, it offers various community support services. It has Portuguese classes for immigrants, special classes for senior citizens, …

Apc Zuchi

INCOMPETENT EXAMINING BOARD! They cancelled the exam after everyone had already crossed the state to take it; the 72-hour deadline became less than 7 hours by the time everyone was already there! Hold on tight, because the letter is coming!

Jhonatan Goncalves

The Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) is the oldest university in Brazil and a symbol of Curitiba. Enveloped in a history of struggles and achievements since 1912, UFPR is a benchmark in higher education for the state and for Brazil. …

The service regarding temporomandibular dysfunction was terrible. They made me go to Toledo twice for nothing; they didn't even prescribe any treatment. They think they know everything, but in reality, they know nothing. Dr. Priscila …

RB MOVEIS E VIDROS RB moveis sob medida

It wasn't the hospital that called Hg to inform me that my mother's surgery had been canceled because the doctor was on vacation. So I ask, why didn't they notify me earlier? They waited until the day before, and I had to travel from …

Carlos Roberto

The Free University School of Manaus was a Brazilian institution of higher education, being the first university founded in the country. Its creation took place on January 17, 1909, a fact even recorded in the Guinness Book in 1995. …

AGATHA BERISCONE

Pothead and PT (Workers' Party) supporters... besides earning super well and constantly striking!!! Bunch of bums!!! The students are the ones who suffer, constantly without classes. All the campuses are infested with drug addicts.

Fernanda Poletto

An excellent university that educates students with a guide, student handbook, welcoming atmosphere, university restaurant, extension activities, student housing (House 3), music, auditorium, and professors dedicated to teaching.

Luiz Carlos Cardoso de Jesus Amaral Pereira

I love the classic architecture of the place. I've heard great things about the teaching at the federal university, and as soon as I finish high school, still next year, I intend to apply to the federal university entrance exam.

Angela Girardi

We already know this university is the most prestigious in Paraná and Brazil, but there's something really, really SAD. Want to know what?
It's a very serious problem! There's a geography student who is deaf and has …

I would like to express my deep gratitude for the excellent service I received from the professors of the Department of Forestry Engineering, especially the Postgraduate Coordinator, Dr. Márcio Pereira da Rocha. …

JP CWB

The first university in Brazil, this historic building is truly beautiful. It's always in excellent condition and beautifies our city as one of the most frequented tourist attractions in the city center.

francisco torres

This federal university, which houses the law school, is one of the best in the country, having produced numerous prominent figures who have achieved success in their professions and advanced careers.

Rogério Gonçalves

My memories of UFPR are through the Polytechnic Center in the Jardim das Américas neighborhood, where I studied Civil Engineering from 1973 to 1978... Not even Covid erased my good memories... :) !!!

Heraldo E S Santos

A must-see for anyone visiting the city. A beautiful building with its imposing columns and staircase. As a bonus, there's also a lovely square in front of the university that makes for great photos.

Isabella teeth

First of all, I've never studied at that university, so I can't say if it's good or bad, that's why I gave it one star.
Well, what I want to know is if I can get into UFPR without taking the ENEM …

Almir Moretti

Women and men come and go, but the university remains... The important thing is to keep the debate of opinions alive and to always be a powerhouse of ideas that transform society for the better...

Federal University of Paraná, a place of great learning for this generation and future academic students of this great educational institution.
It is located right in the center of Curitiba. …

Jefferson Franco

The historic UFPR building is a meeting point for demonstrations and also a stage for cultural performances, in addition to having neoclassical architecture that makes it worth a visit.

Omar Bulira

It offers Brazilian language courses... It is considered one of the landmarks of the city of Curitiba. The teaching staff is highly qualified and it is located in the heart of the city.

Valdeci de Paula

The complex of buildings belonging to the Rectorate of UFPR (Federal University of Paraná), comprising the Theater and the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters. Built in 1958.

I just wanted to express my sadness that UFPR (Federal University of Paraná) did not provide support for candidates who tested positive for COVID and were unable to take the exam.

Kauany Ketlen

"Studying at UFPR is an incredible experience, where you have access to quality education, renowned professors, complete infrastructure, and an enriching cultural diversity."

Aline Martins

A leading university in several fields, like many public universities in Brazil. It deserves recognition and continued investment; it's a right of the population.

Catarina Bittencourt

Great university. This problem with the rector is only defaming it by opposing the Federal Police. We're going to initiate an administrative process, my friends.

Jefferson de Souza Santos (Jeff)

As a tourist attraction, it gets a 5 out of 10! A Curitiba landmark :)
However, as a university, it leaves something to be desired; it needs several renovations.

Hemerson Bolsi

The university is great; of all the UFPR campuses, I think it has the best classrooms, but there's no parking. Don't park your car on the street; it's risky!

Marcela Mohallem

I did my PhD at UFPR and I'm the number one fan of this university! It's all good!!!! The best of the best!!!!!! And I admire it more and more each day!!!!!

A very striking building for the city, it harmonizes beautifully with Santos Andrade Square and the Guaíra Theatre. It's just a little deteriorated.

fefiito

In the middle of the city, a magnificent, beautifully preserved neoclassical building with a huge square in front. A great place to take some photos!

There is an unforgivable absence from the list of notable alumni of UFPR: Dalton Trevisan, one of the best-known figures in Paraná's literature.
