What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001589) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.8★ — 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 Mexico 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.

Ricardo Cruz

A good faculty, a little damaged so it's being repaired. Its auditorium serves as a venue for exhibitions or talks for other faculties. The facilities are among the most modern available, and the pet cyclotron is located in the back. The library is also very well maintained. It's close to faculties such as dentistry and chemistry.

Victor Mendoza

The facilities have improved significantly; the classrooms are more comfortable and equipped with technology, and despite its size, the school is clean. The teachers are excellent, and the quality of education is high. The school administration is also improving.

Sarahi

All the administrative staff have a sour face, even the parking attendant who doesn't even have an ID or uniform has a terrible attitude; it's like they hate their lives. The same goes for student services. It's a horrible place; luckily, I don't come here often.

Erick Portugal

The best medical school in the country. The best facilities, unique in Mexico, and the courses offered are invaluable. Internationally recognized professors and equipment that even private schools don't have. Without a doubt, one of the best schools at UNAM.

Linda Cortés

Terrible faculty. Just because it's "cheap" they send their children to study there, but the faculty and students leave much to be desired. They'll never change because it's a public university, and I'm not giving it zero stars because Google won't let me.

Eli AS

It's one of the most beautiful buildings in CU, unfortunately, due to the pandemic, its gardens are somewhat neglected. To enter and exit, if you arrive through Copilco, you have to walk outside to the psychology department; for now, that's …

Ximena Hernandez

A man, around 35-40 years old, assigned to the parking lot, completely disregarded my wishes and wouldn't let me in to drop off my niece, who uses crutches. I was only there for a personal errand. She had to cross the enormous parking lot, …

Ramses Garcia (Jasiel)

The faculty building is very nice, but sometimes it just smells like marijuana, and there are also homeless people around. I've also heard about assaults and bullying, especially towards the young women who study there or who have to walk …

Mich Samanoo

Hi everyone, now that all of us who took the UNAM entrance exam are probably just as anxious as I am to find out the results this July. But before that, I'd like to share my experience of the change I've gone through since graduating high …

Pendragon

It is a charming faculty, although complicated, it gives you a lot of knowledge, with more than prepared teachers, services that I have seen in no other medical school, in addition to programs that contribute to your training as a future …

Ameyali Mexico City

Simply the best medical school in the country, it offers its students the most up-to-date academic programs, postgraduate courses not only in medical specialties, high-level medical teaching training, and of course, research that sets it …

PSICOLOGÍA - PEDAGOGÍA

The faculty is beautiful. But today I went to the student services office to complete some paperwork, and I received terrible treatment and was quite aggressive from a doctor in charge. She shouted at me and kept berating me, asking if I …

Oscar Ramirez

The best medical school in all of Mexico. A wide variety of courses. At this school, you can graduate by attending only half the classes... Or you can dedicate yourself to exploring all the basic sciences in the numerous research labs, …

Guillermo Martínez Ruiz

Without a doubt, the worst medical school in the country. Medicine isn't taught with money and computers. Good luck to all the future slaves of health insurance companies. Twenty years studying to be the best employee for some businessman.

Ángel Samperio

I'm a Political Science major, but I always enjoy visiting the Faculty of Medicine. It's quite an impressive building, and its facilities are very well maintained. Plus, it's impossible to miss it when you're heading towards Copilco, …

Ricardo Hipólito

As with any clinic, paying attention to the signs will always be the best way to receive excellent service. You can make payments at the cashier's office in the main building, and there are usually short lines. The students are very …

Mely de trotamundos

Medicine school is the hardest places to be accepted in Mexico City. This Universityis the Best of Latinoamerica. So if you're lucky to belong to this school ,enjoy it and learn a lot because being a graduated of this School is unique.

Rodrigo Cárdenas

This is one of the most beautiful faculties of the University. It has great open spaces for students to recreate themselves. In one of the main buildings it has arguably one of the most outstanding murals made my Mexican artists.

JOSE ISAAC HERNANDEZ MOO

Hello, I have a question. To get into medical school, do I need prior knowledge (through courses) or is it enough to just take the entrance exam? Please, I need help, and I'd really like to be there. Greetings from Cancun.

Millennial

It's a good school, but they don't seem to care about the psychological well-being of their students. Some teachers are very arrogant, and the curriculum is outdated. Iztacala is better, but it's still a good school.

JC Garcia

Well, it's a study center. There's practically not much to do. They have some good murals around, and the architecture is nice. It's part of the CU's central square, which is considered a World Heritage Site.

Marthita Predmesnik

It's a wonderful place. We went to visit the Faculty of Medicine because my son was assigned to that main campus. Everything is beautiful; you can feel the freedom and youthfulness; it's beautiful, splendid.

Irik Palacios

Mexico's largest medical school has three huge auditoriums and a very complete library, located on the circuit of the faculties at the exit to Copilco, and has the PET and research building right there.

Fer Cabrera

It's an excellent school with teachers who are eminent in the country. The curriculum is one of the most comprehensive you can find, and you can do your internships in the best hospitals in the country.

Vyktor Cabrera Rivera

I accompanied a family member to their medical appointment, and when they came out they told me that the service was excellent, and that it was very clean, which is why I'm giving it ? ? ? ? ? …

Gab Breick

We should be proud of the members of the PET Unit, who, despite the risks of COVID, are caring for cancer patients, and who in some cases present with COVID symptoms. They deserve applause.

Rose

For me, and surely for many others, the best medical school in this country.
Through its halls, you can enjoy both its original architecture and its modern, well-equipped classrooms. …

José Alejandro Romero Carreño

Without a doubt, the best place to study medicine in the entire country.

And aside from the academic aspect, its facilities alone are incredible, impressive, and very beautiful.

DollyDesiree

I take my son to get treatment for a problem he had with a canine tooth. So far, the service has been good, and it's not as expensive as a private doctor; it's quite affordable.

Jorge Ezequiel Hernandez Partida

Large, imposing, very clean with good shops for shopping. An impressive auditorium. Gardens and a library that is closed, but overall one of the great faculties in the country.

Guillermo Fernández

It's a place where many of this country's doctors are trained; there's a very friendly atmosphere.
I only go there to escort my daughter home, who just entered medical school.

Alain Vicenté

What can I say... although it's not the only one, the Faculty of Medicine is the best medical school in Mexico, due to its history and what it represents for the country. …

Estrella Noble

The facilities are excellent. I gave it 4 stars because the staff at the service windows are neither committed nor helpful. Aside from that, FACMED is the best in the world!

Yukary Torres (Nana Ciruella)

Everything was excellent, very accessible. I don't know what's wrong with one of the receptionists, she seems to be in a bad mood, but otherwise everything was excellent.

Roberto Ruiz

Excellent faculty, very good facilities. Without a doubt, one of the best options for studying medicine. Students are now returning to the campus for in-person classes.

Andrés Medina

It is an extraordinary feeling to be in the highest house of studies, to walk around its grounds and observe how enthusiastically the students prepare for their future.

José Luis Pérez

Those who will one day save you from the flu or a stomach ache study here. Hopefully, nothing serious happens, but they study here to learn how to fix your machinery.

Gonzalo Ruiz Saucedo

If you need to come during this time, please enter through the psychology entrance.
For administrative procedures, please schedule an appointment on the student …

adrian garcia benitez

UNAM has excellent facilities where you can find a good environment to study; it is not for nothing that it is the top higher education institution in the country.

veronica corona

The elite of C.U. without a doubt, excellent facilities and cutting-edge teaching technology. A beautiful school, the best in Mexico to become a doctor ???? …

Alex Maglez

Beautiful place.
The staircase connecting the buildings is an architectural marvel.
Trees, colors, the birds and their beautiful songs. Simply University City.

NORBERTO ALVAREZ VAZQUEZ

An excellent university with a strong academic background, easy access by car, ample and secure parking, a well-stocked library, and excellent staff service.

Ma. Refugio Maldonado K.

UNAM has been the driving force behind my professional career. My immense gratitude goes beyond this statement. My children and nephews continue the legacy.

Omar Rodríguez

Excellent place, one of the most beautiful faculties, with a superb auditorium. The downside is that the mural has been under protection for over two years.

Roberto Serrato

The best place to study medicine. My alma mater. It's always a pleasure to return to the place where I trained as a doctor and later as a vascular surgeon.

Sheriff Lua

Good place and good atmosphere, I see that anyone can get in, it's a huge place, I liked it a lot, I hope the students who got a spot take advantage of it

Marco A. Mora

One of the best faculties at C.U. I'm referring to its buildings; the place is clean. They still need to finish the renovations; they're behind schedule.

Joe Corvitte

The Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health is closed; they don't answer the phone or email even when they ask you to bring the original prescription.

Juan Gonzálezr

It's very interesting. On the fourth and fifth floors, there's an exhibition of real human organs. They're just very hidden and difficult to access. …

Agustín Pérez Hernández

UNAM is an extraordinary place to study, and the medical school is always doing very interesting things; very demanding, but surely just as rewarding!

Francisco Cruz

Well, what can I say? It's a school, very pretty for taking pictures, but don't let the appearance fool you; the content is what's really interesting.

Nancy Azucena Campos Sánchez

The care is excellent and complicated cases are treated. Comprehensive rehabilitations are offered at very good prices and with the best materials.

David Loaeza

To have a good stay, there are several food establishments and necessities for students, as well as seeing the entire corridor and access points.

Erick Angeles

Due to the pandemic and the work stoppage due to non-payment to professors, the faculty is a deserted field, but it has maintained its essence.

Sebastian Cortes

It's an amazing place, you can get around easily. However, as of today, August 15, 2022, several areas are undergoing repairs and improvements.

Joanna Granda

It's very large, everything is well-organized and labeled, and it's easy to get to. The university is quite large, so you should go by car.

Araceli Gómez

I went to the auditorium for the Gustavo Baz awards ceremony, but they only let the medal winners in; the parents were left outside ?? …

Fernando V

For many young people, arriving at this Faculty represents the beginning of their dreams and is an experience they will never forget.

Betty arzola

After 29 years here, do you really think I have a bad word to say about what has been my home all this time?
OF COURSE NOT!!!!

Salvador Damián

The school is very nice.
The parking lot is accessible right now, but during regular classes, the parking lot seems too small.

bernardo ochoa

The best faculty, with the best staff and students.

And as always, work continues on the mural. Even the ramps are damaged.

It's one of the best medical schools nationally and internationally.
Many would like to enter that institution.
