Jeysson Gonzalez

The university's veterinary clinic knows nothing. They gave my dog ??a bad diagnosis, and when I didn't see any improvement, I took her to UCC where they actually know what they're doing. She died. Are they just handing out degrees like that? >:(

OSCAR JULIAN RUIZ

Enjoy and live life as you want (Yeison Barroyeta)

A very good university, although expensive, if you look at the investment in action... Not like a public university where the student is practically worthless, since there's plenty of room for improvement. …

juan gonzalez

Terrible service. I hope you never have to request a refund. I've been asking for a refund for a month now for a diploma course that they even failed to start on. They waste time and never offer a solution.

Diego Jimenez

It's a pleasant campus, the atmosphere is different—I could even say the weather is different—and academically, it's one of the universities with the highest number of high-quality, accredited programs.

Branjo Ramírez

The best university in the world haha, well I study there and they have a good campus, there are still many improvements and inclusivity for everyone but for the moment it is very good

Juan Diego Ruiz Garcia

Excellent facilities but limited accessibility for people with physical disabilities due to the number of stairs and the fact that stairs must be used to access the elevators.

Ariel Cuadro

An excellent university, it offers all the benefits you need to pursue a higher education. It has excellent professionals, high-tech equipment, and peaceful, green spaces.
