💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students. All ratings and reviews are taken on 21st January 2026.

Paloma gutierrez

It needs to modernize, it needs to pay more attention to its students, to be more concerned about their needs. It needs to listen more to those who use the facilities and be more inclusive of people with disabilities. It needs more food areas and more opportunities for afternoon students to participate in activities.

Santiago López Aguilar

The most mediocre and pretentious university in all of Mexico, with the most absurd curriculum, few opportunities for students, and very poor administrative services. The worst decision I ever made. It's simply a family business. In the workplace, I'm ashamed to admit that I graduated from this medical school.

Gisselle Guzman

If you have the opportunity to study at the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, MISS IT. Academically it's good, but administratively they don't know what they're doing. They notify you one day in advance of super important things and always make you responsible for problems that are theirs.

Evelyn Carrillo

The worst decision my daughter could have made was to enroll online for a law degree. The administration was terrible. She paid the first month's tuition, but she was never able to access the platform. They refused to refund her, arguing that they weren't allowed by law. A bunch of scammers.

Leopoldo Hernández

Terrible university. They're despotic with their students. The educational level is low, the facilities are ugly and old, and the gymnasium is horrible. The only thing that's high here is the fees. They don't care about the students; they care about them paying more and more.

Gustavo H

Terrible administrative service. I can't cancel my subscription because they don't speed up their procedures. Hostile in every way, terrible organization, they trip themselves up! The worst experience I've ever had. Not to mention they want to charge you even for breathing.

angel vazquez

I had a great time here, and I learned a lot. The poor evaluation is because it took me a long time to get my degree, and I've lost out on job opportunities because of it. So if you're thinking about applying to this university, I recommend you consider this carefully.

PAOLO ORTEGA

The phone service is SUPER slow, they don't answer, they leave you standing there with the phone on hold the whole time in the waiting room, and I even sent my information about 15 times so they would call me back but 0 response and I am interested in this university.

Alejandra Martinez

Terrible service from the finance department, they don't answer, and they don't apply the payments; they come out at the end of the semester that you owe, when at the time you go to pay they say that everything is fine and it turns out that it is not.

Margarita Rojas Stroker

I needed to visit the UAG (Faculty of Traumatology) to see Dr. Luis Villegas. I received excellent care, respectful and humane treatment. (at Angel Leano Hospital) I am grateful for the attention I received. I apologize for the lack of accents.

fanny carrillo

It's an archaic education system; they only teach children to memorize, and if they make a mistake, it's seen as failure, not learning. They have very basic English, elementary math, and no literacy instruction. They aren't taught to think, …

Jorge Cardenas

Overall, it's fine. The only thing I noticed is that everything is working, but the sports facilities are lacking maintenance, and this is something that needs to be carefully maintained so that the young people and their families who visit …

Alex Ornelas

I love the university, but it has one big problem: the admissions process. Anyone can enter the facilities, attend classes, and use them without being a student. You just say what major you're studying, and they grant you access without any …

Salud , Bienestar, mente Mesn

I say it again and again: it's like this in universities, hotels, everything is incredibly corrupt. I was requesting information about a postgraduate law program, I sent emails, called, and nothing. It's true, they tell you to cancel first …

Ma. Luisa Morfin S.

They offer international programs where foreign students come to study at this campus and the information and service is terrible. They want to give information about the program they offer and they charge them for everything. My boyfriend …

Claudio Nava

Excellent medical and specialty programs, unmatched by most other universities in the country. Strict teachers, ideal for those hoping to pass without studying or for those wishing to continue with the high school style of education. True …

Ale Glez

It's the first private university to exist in Mexico; it remains a school that safeguards its values ??and reputation. It may not be very well-known because it doesn't focus on marketing, but rather on quality. They're currently investing …

Itzel Cordova

I had the privilege of being a student at this wonderful university, undoubtedly my Alma Mater. It boasts a high academic standard and excellent professors. The programs offered are structured in four-month semesters, making it convenient …

estela jalisco

The most corrupt there can be. They make up costs for everything, even if you finish a semester and don't owe anything. If you want your documents you have to pay $1200 for what?? just to have them delivered to you and there's no document …

Khal Drogo

One of the largest universities in Guadalajara, I think what stands out most about this university are its facilities, which are quite extensive. It has the Tecos soccer club, basketball and tennis courts, swimming pools, a gym, and large …

Mark Ramirez

My wife has been trying to receive her diploma by mail for months. The customer service at this school has been surprisingly poor. After all the money and effort a student pays, she still can't receive her diploma. We're still waiting for …

JOSE R GlezI

A thousand respects to the SURGEONS, DENTISTS, ACTUARIES, PRIMARY AND PRESCHOOL TEACHERS; except for the rest of the careers they have a terrible academic level compared to the UDG, a thousand respects UDG; they only scam foreigners from …

Carlos Alberto Flores

I'm a former student at the university. I decided to study there mainly because it's the UAG (University of Agility). Even so, I've had very bad experiences. It's been almost two years since I applied for my degree and I haven't received …

Magdalena Uribe

The quality of student treatment has declined significantly; they have a lot of trouble grading students and nothing is resolved. They only care about their profits. There are also problems with internships, the boarding school, and its …

Anonimo Mega

If you have the financial means to enroll your children in a university other than this one—overrated and lacking adequate infrastructure to justify its exorbitant tuition fees—seriously, this university claims to be prestigious, yet it …

SR A

My experience has been terrible. The website is always down, and the administrative staff treats you awfully. Some seem like your enemies, intent on making things difficult. Most of the professors are excellent, truly wonderful, but the …

Rafael Soto Sánchez

I am a resident in Traumatology and Orthopedics and in my years as an intern and trainee I noticed the difference that the propaedeutics they taught us at UAG is better than that of other universities, in addition to the fact that they …

Daniel Perez

I was very disappointed to find so much hatred at ITESO University from the management and all the people who make up the support staff. Their attitude changed considerably after I enrolled at ITESO. I believe I made the wrong decision.

Molly White

As a previous student I recommend you to save your money, DONT go there. On the video they show you to sell you the school, the hospitals aren't affiliated to the school, they will make you do your rotations in horrible places. Their …

Marcela Güitrón

I'm disappointed in many aspects of this "private" university, which has many shortcomings, especially considering how expensive the tuition is. Fortunately, the problems aren't mostly academic. For example, the medical services are …

mente colectiva

First private university in Mexico, located in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. It was founded on March 3, 1935, by a student movement that opposed the socialist education project of the government of President Lázaro Cárdenas del Río.

Enrique Gómez

A friend who studied architecture at UAG told me that the program director doesn't help you with problems with professors because they're his family. But the main thing is to look out for the students' well-being. That's really bad.

Denzel Gomez Sanchez

Good afternoon, everyone. I'd like to spare a few minutes to share the progress made in the architecture program over the past two years.
Today, I'm going to shed light on the improvement of this beautiful program, for …

Hugo Lopez

A beautiful university, its baseball and football fields are in poor condition, as are its stands for visiting teams, the bathrooms on these fields are deplorable, but its American football categories are very good.

Amparo Gómez

They should teach their students how traffic lights and turning lanes work in their classes; it's unbelievable that they think they own Patria Avenue and don't respect the other people who are driving there.

Emanuel Alvarado

They haven't said anything about the hospital, They provide very good treatment, The doctors and specialists are kind and understanding, But some secretaries are a bit of a pain, Everything else is fine.

Celso Ricardo Juárez

I was at the Potros de Toluca vs. Tecos de la UAG American football game.

The game was suspended. The Tecos won. The Tecos team cheered for the Potros, and the Potros cheered for the Tecos team.

Monica Guzman

They don't care about the students, only the money. Sadly, this university has been in decline for years, ever since the death of Antonio Leaño Alvarez del Castillo, may he rest in peace. …

Gerardo Enrique Guerrero Nevarez

A highly prestigious school with many graduates. Now a vaccination center, it's very well organized, with very clean restrooms. I have many good friends who graduated from this institution.

asim husain

This one of the universities in the country where you can learn at a lower cost without compromising quality. They have very good teachers from Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, and India.

Charles Ortiz

I studied there since high school. My mother suffered greatly with the high tuition of $44,000 per semester.
It's a mediocre school living off past glories. The teachers are either old, …

Napoleon Dominguez

Old buildings but constatnly renovating them, not the best one around but for sure a great university that it's actually in the city and not far away like most schools these days.

Emiliano Rosas Aceves

If you're not a student or a worker, the guards at the entrance treat you poorly and are not at all polite. For one of the most prestigious schools in the country, it's a shame. …

Guadalupe Troncoso

Excellent university. I am a grateful alumna, and my daughters, who have just graduated, are competent professionals with good work, imparting not only knowledge but also values.

Sandra A

Learned nothing here
School charges 11 grand for tuition and then teaches absolutley nothing, leaving people in 100 grand debt. You have to teach yourself. 5 out of 100 people …

Gabriela Espinoza

I am about to turn 26 (on October 1st) at this great institution and I am very grateful to be part of this university.... We are not all the same... we are autonomous ?? …

L M

Excellent university!
The campus is very large, with green areas where you can relax. Most of the classrooms are remodeled, and there's a library, laboratories, etc. …

Rosa Gutierrez

Terrible. High tuition for a mediocre education. There's no discipline, and in many departments, the staff treats you horribly. It doesn't feel like a private school.

Randle Chester Coulson

Excellent facilities at the UAG. I attended a Zapopan City Council event at the University Gymnasium. Excellent service from university officials and City Council.

Aldo Galluzzi

An excellent university for those seeking something more than just a machine at the service of corporations. Something is done here to educate good citizens.

Diego Esca

It's fine, the only bad thing is the service at the cash registers; it seems like a government agency. Bring two books to read because one won't be enough.

Sebastian Isaac Contreras

I was a student at the autonomous university and I'm happy to say it's the worst university.
1. Terrible, extremely terrible administrative treatment. …

Profesor Mario González Salazar.

I went to exchange my graduation credential. I found the preparation of the new credential very quick and the young lady who assisted me was very kind.

miriam Vincit

Poor service, very rude, and the quality of instruction they offer is average to low. In addition, the German 1 classes taught by Mariana are terrible!

Manolo Frausto

I only went up the stairs to admire the sheer size of the university. Even from my hotel, I could see how imposing it looked. Magnificent architecture.

Uvm Medicina

The attention to first-year students is scum; they are arrogant people who treat you reluctantly, knowing that they are working to treat you well.

Raul Co

Nice university that needs some TLC for its facilities. I had a good experience there. I have heard complaints from others. Do your research.

Milian Russel

Very poor educational level, they don't pay attention to the students and they overcharge for everything, terrible attention, old facilities

Benjamin Villegas

Their phone service sucks. They hang up on you constantly, are rude, and don't answer your questions. I don't recommend the university.

Héctor Velázquez

I really like this university. It's very well located with easy access, has ample parking, and has a great view of the city. …
