💬 Student Reviews

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

LoOla Johnson

The center is very nice, with spaces for everything (coffee, copies, food, internet access, etc.), but shopping is more expensive, like in most schools.
The Wi-Fi is a bit slow and restricted for some social media platforms; however, it works well for quick searches, gathering information, WhatsApp messages, and Google Classroom.

Garu

It's usually a nice place. As part of the university, I can say there are several areas to study, relax, and eat. Although it has a flaw: it rarely has toilet paper, and sometimes the security gates are very easy to bypass. It's still a good institution, but you do have to pay attention to it.

Victor Leonel 2

The facilities are very complete and modern; it's clear there's a good budget allocated. However, as is often the case in our country, the service provided to the public in dental clinics is sometimes very neglected. I've been on the waiting list for four months and haven't heard anything.

?Fun Ghoul

There are some careers that are more vulnerable than others; there are buildings that are falling apart, have no electricity, or their doors don't work; there's almost never toilet paper or water in the bathrooms. At least the internet works well, although it depends on the area.

Albert Vergara

The University Center for Health Sciences (CUCS) in Guadalajara, Jalisco, stands out for its beauty and academic environment. Although the facilities are undergoing renovations, it offers exceptional opportunities for students from various …

Dafne BG

I finished my studies there. For me, "the student must be someone with a thirst for learning, developing skills, and putting them into practice, because the teacher is only a guide." There, I had all kinds of teachers. Of course, no one is …

Georgina Ramirez

Nothing to say about the property however, the attention of the staff IS THE MOST DEPLORABLE, specifically speaking of school control of the postgraduate area, their website is never clear, if you call they yell at you, if you go they make …

Julio César AbuYusuf Centeno Bueno (Abu Yusuf)

The truth is that it has some very outstanding teachers, for me the best I knew was Dr. Torresillas, but the truth is that the directors leave a lot to be desired, I mean in the nursing area, especially Dr. Olga, since she was the one who …

a fc19

It's relatively good to study there, the teachers are good. The only problem is the graduation process; it will take months if you're lucky, while other centers give it to you in a month and always make up some excuse for why your degree …

Arturo Herrera

It is a university center with everything necessary for its students to become competitive in their respective fields. The professors are among the best in the country, and the facilities offered provide top-notch training for each area. …

Maria Gutierrez

For over five years, I've been receiving care from the doctors and students at this university center, and their service is excellent. They are caring, professional, competent, and dedicated. And the costs are incredibly low, unbeatable. …

Germán Muñoz

It is a university center in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, which, as its name suggests, offers undergraduate, master's, and graduate programs focused on health sciences. The facilities are currently being renovated and the classrooms …

MIGUEL ANGEL ESTRADA BUSTAMANTE

Will they continue to get in through favoritism? How much will those who manage to get in pay? Will they be children or relatives of politicians or teachers? The whole process is very secretive, and since the Padillas have the university …

Ghozz

An excellent university. I've been there for four semesters as a nursing student, and all the professors I've studied with have been excellent. I've learned something from all of them; they demonstrate their expertise. There are some who …

Jaime Magallanes

What I can say is that they are very well organized. I had to wait in line in the car since that's how they handle it and they ask you to roll up all the windows in the car and you only roll down the window on your side so they can serve …

Erick Portugal

Well, we came to take a National Council exam. The facilities are acceptable. The auditoriums are comfortable and well-spaced, the classrooms are the same. The problem is their blessed electrical station, which with the slightest glitch …

Grayceiry

A very comprehensive university center with highly modernized areas, specifically in the areas of nutrition and psychology. In the dentistry department, a remodeling of the restrooms would be desirable, for example. I recommend visiting …

Carlos Martínez

Excellence in training human resources for health. The most important educational institution in the western part of the country (despite who may disagree).
The facilities are in optimal condition, and the professors are specialists in …

Adolfo Velasco

The graduates of CUCS at the University of Guadalajara are, for good reason, highly capable healthcare professionals thanks to the excellent infrastructure, practical experience, and extensive knowledge of the doctors who share their …

Á J-Lo

A very good place to study. A wide variety of programs are available. Their facilities have improved a lot. Only the parking is always chaotic. If you park outside the CU, they often refuse to let you park freely and you have to pay.

LAURA JACKSON

There aren't many green areas with shade or a place to rest like what it is (the island of the Tonalá University Center) and the internet is constantly failing a lot, I'm surprised there is paper and soap because there wasn't before.

Hector Topete

Excellent University Center, located in the Colonia Independencia, and within which is housed the Hospital Escuela, the Civil, Fray Antonio Alcalde, where the most eminent doctors of western Mexico and the world have been trained

Francisco Villa

A very good school. There are some things that need improvement, but they are constantly renovating parts of it to improve the quality of the facilities. The food at the kitchen is always delicious and offers a variety of dishes.

BLANCA PEREZ BORBON

I didn't read the previous post, but my experience at the University Center for Health Sciences is similar to that of other centers. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and it's easy to make friends and even fall in love, why not? …

Alberto Aguilar 11

It could improve customer service, it could improve having a terminal for payments with credit cards or TDC, it could improve its information site. I mean, the UDG is the highest educational institution here in western Mexico!

Javier Glez

It's a center where they study medicine in different specialties and where good doctors and nurses graduate.
And on Sierra Mojada Street, at gate 9, they do COVID testing through appointments from the University of Granada.

glendakorzi

Excellent place to study, with researchers and professors of high professional and human caliber. If you go, be sure to visit El Güero's Chilaquiles, almost directly across from the entrance to the rehabilitation clinic.

Sakura GC

They treated us incredibly well from the moment we arrived to get tested for COVID. The staff was very patient with my son, who was scared about getting tested. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE CHANCE.

Victor Manuel Escobar Canales

There's a banner at the entrance saying COVID tests are done at another entrance. It even has an arrow on it; this confuses anyone who goes to get tested.
Otherwise, the service is fast and the staff is friendly.

Ernestina Quintero

It's easy to get to CUCS, but since they're building a new module, it's a bit tricky to get where you want to go. But they're already finishing paving the surrounding streets, and that will improve things a lot.

Salvador “Chavita” Aguirre Ceja

Everything went very smoothly. If you follow the instructions and arrive at the exact time of your appointment, the test takes no less than 10 minutes. The test is very fast, and the staff are very friendly. …

Daniel R P

During the COVID-19 pandemic, these facilities conducted testing in a very safe, rapid, and efficient manner. June 2020. Let's hope this passes soon. I hope we all learn something from adversity. Best regards.

Maximiliano Medina Balpuesta Medina Balpuesta

Honestly, it's cool, but this season the battle pass wasn't as exciting. There were a lot of collaborations and influencers in the game. Let's hope they don't nerf ChatGPT next season and keep dropping him.

LUIS ANGEL LOPEZ JIMENEZ

The best CU in the UdeG network. Perhaps it would be a good idea to invest in recreational and food spaces for the university community, since the spaces are insufficient for the nearly 10,000 students.

Personal Jesus

The bathrooms are disgusting, and many don't even have a toilet seat, and when I say many, I mean three out of five don't have one.
Beyond that, I have no complaints, but it's not just any old thing.

Elizabeth Tejeda

Excellent work, super well organized! Thank you and I honor the work you do during this pandemic! Thank you for your time and dedication even with the risks involved! God bless you!

Israel Aragon

It's a large space, but it encompasses many streets, which makes this vast area very vulnerable.
Aside from that, it's a very beautiful place, full of fresh, green areas where …

R3 Alonso Edsel Martínez Gonzalez

The famous university center of health sciences, cradle of leaders in medical sciences; facilities in recent renovation, multiple shops around, next to the new civil hospital.

Isra Mann

Excellent teaching and infrastructure. I finished my studies grateful to my professors and the institution. If there are "boat" teachers who don't teach, I didn't get them.

Suhey Castaneda

They are applying free tests for COVID-19 detection, only for people who present symptoms and have had contact with people with the disease, everything very organized.

Adriana Beato

The school is great, with good facilities, although it's under maintenance and construction. So there's a lot of noise in certain areas, and for long periods of time.

Gris P.S.

CUCS
It's my alma mater, and despite its shortcomings (which have been largely addressed, it's worth noting), it remains a worthy space for learning and training …

Marcos Zaragoza

Excellent place for professional growth and teaching, the best years of my life were here, thanks to all those who walked with me sharing experiences and knowledge

YADET PLANCARTE

I went to carry out a procedure at the school check-in counter, and the woman at the counter was very friendly. She helped me very well and answered my questions.

Laura Estrada

CUCS; an excellent university center. Today we had Advanced Trauma Certification. Thank you to all the instructors and coordinators for being part of this team.

María Sánchez

Well, I don't have any photos, past or present, but for me it was wonderful.
Facilities, lab materials, and other practicals.
I've been to graduation events. …

Mariel Parra

A quality university center, the facilities are improved every semester, there is a very good atmosphere among students and the cleanliness is always good.

Dora Esthela

It's nice, the buildings are a bit jumbled up, the school office is only open until 1 pm, but not every day, and there are open areas with places to sit.

VISTA, Desarrollando

It needs to be transformed into an inclusive school for people with disabilities. Accessible elevators are essential. They're on the right track there.

Paola García

Everything is very nice, especially the psychology department. The only problem is security, both in the surrounding area and within the center itself.

Alfredo E

Excellent service and friendliness from everyone; excellent during these stressful times. Congratulations on your coordination and help to everyone.

Zury Flores

A magnificent institution, it boasts a very large campus, excellent services, and high-quality professors. A perfect place to study medical fields.

Víctor Hugo Quezada Márquez

One of the best university centers, the laboratories are very well equipped and all the professors are very well prepared and most are researchers.

alejandra navarro

Their opening hours are not clearly defined. And if you do get help, it's often very reluctant, especially by the school records officer, Lourdes.

miguel ignacio

The area where they do the Covid-19 tests is very well set up. My congratulations to everyone who is there every day to take care of our health.

David Rodarte

A good university center, but very unsafe. The surrounding area feels unsafe, and all kinds of assaults and robberies are common in the area.

Juan Pablo Padilla

It has a small Santander branch inside. Parking is for school staff only. There are many parking attendants nearby who charge for parking.

Centro de Negocios y Desarrollo Empresarial

The entire area is very dirty. NO ONE SWEEPS THE SIDEWALKS.

The entrances appear secure (just for the photo); anyone can come and go. …

MALULUCITAa ALVAREZ

It's my Alma Mater!!! I wouldn't trade it for anything, I'm so proud to be a graduate of this university, with all its reputation.

Hilda Susana De La Cruz Cardenas

Despite the pandemic, they helped me quickly and solved my problem. It's just a matter of knowing where to go and who to talk to.

Gisela Guadalupe Cordero Casillas

Hello, could someone please give me some information regarding registration and tuition fees? I would greatly appreciate it.

Héctor Joaquín Cortés Arce

It's a place where you can learn about health, especially pathology. It's my home. I forged my education here. Thank you.

Cruz Cruz

Excellent place to study, too bad there are only COVID tests right now. I hope this contagious disease passes soon.

Heri Baltazar

A pleasant center with several green areas, despite not being that large, and it is being remodeled frequently.

María de los Angeles Vargas Rodríguez

The university complex is very complete, integrating all health disciplines. It has a very complete food court.

Casual League

It remains the leading university center for public health sciences. Everything around it is being redesigned.

Jassiel Navarro

The Alma Mater of the vast majority of doctors in Jalisco is the great academic institution that is the UdeG.

Montserrat Gutierrez

The best medical school in the world...
Every time I go I am surprised by the renovation of its facilities.

Hola LAY

A large university center, with spacious rooms and excellent courses, including a library and computer lab.

Lucy Aranac

The street turned out great, the school has excellent service and is very accessible, a big help to us ? …

Vania Morán

Although the attention is good in school control, the waiting times to carry out procedures are very long.

Raul Flores Curiel

Access via Sierra Mojada Street is restricted to vehicles due to concrete paving. Please take precautions.

Anonymous

Terrible administration!

You call them, and they don't answer, and when they finally pick up the phone, …
