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

Gelso Junior

Considered a leading institution of higher education in Rio Grande do Sul and the southern region of Brazil, it offers high-quality teaching and facilities that not only meet the needs of faculty but also provide a comfortable and pleasant environment for those who are there, whether for study or leisure, work or recreation.

Maria Luiza Caser

Since I wasn't familiar with the campus, I spent my time walking around, the buildings were poorly lit, obviously due to the lack of in-person classes, but the campus is amazing, enormous, a real treasure for us from Passo Fundo. We were well taken care of and, above all, I only wish for continued progress!!!!

Ribeiro

This educational institution is trying to make me pay a cancellation fee for a postgraduate course I didn't take. I expressed interest in a course, but on the same day I informed them that I couldn't study for personal reasons. Even so, they are saying I need to pay a cancellation fee.

Roan Ribeiro

I was a student there, I graduated there, and I can say that it has many positive aspects, as well as negative ones. But considering both, the positives prevail. Professors, opportunities, experiences—these are examples that I can guarantee will be memorable at this university.

Bruna Viciniescki

I have great admiration for UPF; I completed my undergraduate degree in Letters there and am currently pursuing a master's degree in Letters at UPF, and I highly recommend it. The team is incredible, the professors are highly qualified, and the environment is delightful.

Augusto Diehl Guedes

My home for many years. The place where I completed my undergraduate and master's degrees. I was an intern and researcher. A university of excellence recognized for its dedication to research, teaching, and outreach. It is among the best community universities in Brazil.

Juliana Menna Barreto

The area features a wooded, well-signposted environment, and in addition to the undergraduate and graduate buildings, there is a community center with a restaurant, café, shops, and banks, catering to those who need to spend a longer period of time there.

Ânderson Casseres

Excellent learning environment, with qualified professors and ample infrastructure that caters to all the college's disciplines. It has a common area with snack vendors on site. Public bus lines run throughout the campus area. Free parking is available.

Eva Carola

It used to be better! They don't care about the students on campus, they offer few elective course options, and when they do, it's always the same old electives. With the change in the curriculum, students from the old curriculum are having …

#Paulinho G. Magalhães

I find it absurd the great lack of communication that exists at FEAC. The staff at the secretariat pass on information without knowing it, making fools of people who keep coming and going. I've been there more than twice already. Today, for …

Ana Paula

I don't recommend this place for anyone who needs government assistance. They put students to work helping people file their income tax returns; I was one of those people. Unfortunately, if I had known they didn't know how to file, I never …

Anatieli Guerra

I am being charged unfairly by this institution. When they made the charge, they mentioned a supposed Nursing course, but the contract presented states Physiotherapy, which demonstrates total disorganization and a lack of understanding of …

alessandro santos de oliveira

Specifically regarding the service provided to the UPF dental clinic community, a one-star rating is a compliment compared to what I've been experiencing since I believed my problem would at least be addressed by a public health service. …

Felipe Seganfredo

The college is very good, except for a few minor details regarding the internal infrastructure that leave something to be desired, such as safety on pedestrian crossings, better protection against rain at bus stops, and very old computers.

Jair Ferronato

University with excellent quality undergraduate and graduate courses. Qualified professors committed to research. Suitable environment and infrastructure for an educational institution. The main campus has a more extensive structure.

Marcio Juliani

University of excellence. Highly regarded. Large campus. Excellent professors. Excellent courses. One of the best universities in the world. Master's and doctoral programs. Highly rated by the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC).

Kamila Inês Florão nervo

Awful!!!!!!!! I had scheduled appliance maintenance for August 18th, so I called to confirm the time, but they kept transferring me from line to line and the service was very slow. The only thing I have to say is awful!!!!!!

Suellen Teixeira

I studied Business Administration and Accounting at UPF and I highly recommend it. The professors are highly qualified and experienced. The library is excellent and has a wide variety of books. The environment is pleasant.

Felipe Daneris

Excellent place. Extremely spacious and much more than just a university. Very wooded and has several places where you can relax on weekdays and weekends with your family and also bring your pets. …

Robson Lima

They simply don't like accepting transfer students. I tried for two semesters and nothing... The staff are poorly trained and each one says something different. Disappointing! I don't recommend it.

G. Maria S. da Silva

Excellent in every aspect! Unique structure, highly qualified professors, most with doctorates, helpful staff, a benevolent institution, one of the most beautiful campuses in Brazil. I love UPF!!!

Alvaro vanin

A safe and well-wooded area, ideal for walks and leisure, as it has ample spaces for fun and weekend activities, in addition to being a renowned educational institution in the country.

Joao Geraldo Souza

Very nice location, lots of green space and room, but now during the pandemic they are preventing people from enjoying this area that belongs to the community of Passo Fundo, RS.

Volmir Viana

Excellent place for a stroll.
Spacious classrooms. If the recurring rumors of financial difficulties are true, it will be a great loss for the cities where the camps are located.

Alessandra Henrich

It's a disgrace that political campaigning is allowed on campus. If the university administration authorized it, it's shameful, and if they didn't see it, that's shameful too.

Maria Sirlei Borges dos Santos

It was a five-star service ? People who truly enjoy what they do, humanized work ? I recommend them just so people can see what it's like to receive excellent service!!! …

Rodrigo Martins

July 31st - A nice, warm day, no wind at the university, with several places to stop and drink chimarrão (a traditional South American infused drink), and not very noisy.

Cristiano Argerich

It's a beautiful place and one of the best universities in Brazil.
On campus, it's possible to walk around, there's shade, drinking water, restrooms, and food services.

Rubens Stuginski Jr

The University of Passo Fundo (UPF) is a community university. It is located in the north of Rio Grande do Sul and offers excellent quality courses.
Come and visit us.

Anderson Rodrigues Laitartd

Because this is where I'm building my future. I'm the first in my family to go to college, and I want to be someone important in the world. To make a difference!!

Jhonata YouTube

I didn't have a good experience with the postgraduate course; the content was weak, there was a cancellation fee, and it was difficult. Just money wasted!

Andrea Nunes

Extensive infrastructure and excellent teaching with highly qualified professionals. The Campus I in Passo Fundo has great facilities for weekend outings.

Lucas

Excellent space, dynamic and high-quality classes.

Well-maintained and regularly cleaned facilities and environments.
Without a doubt, the best option!

A special place. ?? I hope they always preserve this environment that allows me to relax with family, friends, and the beautiful local nature. …

Excellent institution. Very reliable and decent. I just believe that one should evaluate each course before enrolling, to see its effectiveness.

The university is very good; I graduated here, as did my husband and son, and now my daughter is also attending university.

Diego Vitor

An institution with 50 years of experience in providing quality higher education to Passo Fundo and the surrounding region.

Anderson Costa ferreira

Terrible, I have a debt at the university that I can't pay. Nobody can reach an agreement, they just keep passing the buck.

Pethry A. Teixeira

Excellent! The gym is very spacious and I had a great experience with my friends on the tennis courts at the Guga school.

Lenir Helena Schenkel

It was great. The food was delicious. I really liked Lia's suggestion, that pizza with pineapple too. Thank you. Lenir

Rodrigo Rossa

Wonderful service. Congratulations to Dr. Roberta Longhi. She is an excellent professional, and so are her assistants.

Luiz Arcênio de Freitas de Araujo

The campus is not only beautiful...the space is ample, the college's infrastructure is impeccable, I loved it! ??? …

Ana Clara

It's all name and no substance. Professors with excellent resumes, but who don't know how to teach.
My worst choice.

lauro Aristides oliveira

If I were to say the ice cream in Caxias do Sul is beautiful, then the one in Passo Fundo deserves congratulations.

Duti Follmer

A calm and peaceful place to enjoy a chimarrão (a traditional South American infused drink) in the late afternoon.
