💬 Student Reviews

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

Greys Orozco

The service is terrible if the person doesn't have the money to pay for the semester in cash. The treatment from the admissions office is awful. I've paid the PIN three times and they've left my son out because it's through ICETEX. They don't know the pain they cause.

Carlos Samuel Henao de la Hoz

Excellent university with good health sciences programs, very good facilities, and located within the city, close to everything. It has a prestigious reputation with excellent postgraduate programs and is situated in a very good residential and commercial area.

paola andrea garcia gonzalez

A university that requires cash payments, doesn't accept ICETEX loans, deceives applicants into believing they'll be accepted (they're only interested in the money), has bathrooms without toilet paper, and horrible facilities. It doesn't deserve even one star.

Jesika Fernandez Rivero

Around it you can find everything you need to study, such as a boarding house, restaurant, stationery store, an Interrapidisimo (a mobile phone service), and even an internet cafe, not to mention transportation options like the Transmetro (metro).

Andrea Ariza Amaris

The Metropolitan University - Health Sciences is a private Colombian higher education institution, specialized in health sciences, located in Barranquilla. The Metropolitan University was established on November 16, 1973, founded by Eduardo …

briseth garcia niño

I would like to know how to contact you. I have called the admissions number listed, but the woman who answers is not helpful. I need information about the registration dates for the Nutrition and Dietetics program for the new semester of 2017.

Merle Arévalo

The Metropolitan University is an institution dedicated exclusively to professional health sciences education. It has a six-story building with underground parking for university employees. It has an amphitheater with real-life exhibits and …

Cintia Massimiliano

It's terrible what the university is doing to this young man. Not allowing him to receive his degree reflects more on the university than on him. As he says, it's money and time invested that no one will ever give back. I don't recommend …

Merle Arevalo

You can have a very pleasant time at the Metropolitan University.
It has a welcoming entrance that leads directly to the cafeteria, a spacious area used in many ways: as a meeting place, a dining hall, and a venue for events …

Valentina Alvarez

JUSTICE FOR SAMUEL DAVID ARREDONDO.
It's unjust that the student was expelled a second time without justification, and on top of that, just one week before finishing his degree and receiving his …

Yulizeth Salas (Yuma)

A private university dedicated to offering healthcare programs. This institution has a clinic where students can complete their internships, as well as great opportunities to work on-site.

Maye

In my opinion, the Metropolitan University is currently too small, given its location. To continue offering quality education, it should have better infrastructure and a better location.

Mario Daccarett

It continues to develop and improve in all aspects. It's an important alternative in health-related studies, and every day more thought is given to improving the facilities.

GlaMaSo

It's 100% open, complies with established biosafety measures, is very clean, and the administrative, teaching, and student staff provide excellent service.

Teresita Crespo

It is an excellent university, with committed teachers and students willing to learn, building their knowledge, with a dialogic pedagogy.

Abysum

The security in the surrounding area is appalling; students are assaulted every 2-3 days. Be careful at midday and at dusk.

emanuel fernando morales castro

University campus of the university with the most health programs in Barranquilla. The best for studying dentistry.

Antonio David Rojano Altamar

They don't have enough parking, so you have to leave your cars in places close to the elements.
