💬 Student Reviews

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

Felipe Alves

It's no use offering an excellent structure if the teaching isn't satisfactory... The only negative point is the online courses, which leave much to be desired, since in a Nursing course it's inappropriate, not to say immoral, to put such important subjects in an online format. For this reason, I don't approve.

I. Camila

Since the change in management, things have been disappointing, with a lack of care for current and former students. The prices for documentation and tuition are absurd, there's a lack of communication and customer service. There's been a total disregard for those who need administrative services.

Danilo Guedes

The college has an impeccable physical structure, a bibliographic collection that puts it on par with the best in Brazil, and a very spacious and well-air-conditioned auditorium! The only criticism is regarding its location, which is a bit far from the city center!

Rayssa Lima

After UNINOVAFAPI was sold to the Afya group, students are no longer heard. Our medical course, for example, used to be excellent. Today, unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The quality today is not, and doesn't even come close to, the value you pay!

Samara Sampaio

I have no complaints about the college; I studied here for 4.5 years and I could see what an organized and serious institution is like. It's not a college that only thinks about money; they care a lot about the student experience and about truly solving problems.

Samyla oliveira

They don't respect the students, they don't listen, they never solve anything, they have terrible problem-solving skills, there's no communication with the students, they disregard demands and requests, they only care about NPS and CPA scores to make money.

Victor Hugo

It's awful, soon they'll be putting all the law school classes online. And if the students complain, they simply don't care. It's a disgrace, they don't care about good teaching. Respect the morning class period. Put an end to this online class nonsense.

Gabrielly Rocha

It's a nightmare studying at that college, seriously. The staff doesn't respond, nobody takes responsibility for anything, they get your grades wrong, they get your registration wrong, they don't issue your documents. I swear, it's a real hell!

Maria Cavalcante

I don't know why the in-person service at Uninovafapi has gotten so much worse. The institution no longer answers calls and calls aren't transferred to any department. In the general secretariat, there's only one person to assist the public …

Felipe Ricardo

After being sold to the Afya group, students are no longer heard. Our medical course, for example, used to be an excellent course. Today, unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You will be forced to pay an exorbitant amount, your …

Anarky nah

I wouldn't recommend it; in my classroom, there were over 60 students crammed together. You don't need to be a genius to know that the overall performance of the class wasn't the best. It's thanks to colleges like Novafapi that the Ministry …

Livros Variados

There is simply no student support contact that works; the phone just plays hold music. I waited for 30 minutes and no one answered. The request through the app has a 5-day deadline, I waited the 5 days, and they replied that my request was …

Sinval Cunha

One of the best university centers in the capital of Piauí. It offers a very wide range of courses in diverse areas: Medicine, Law, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Radiology Technology, Fashion Design, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Social Work, …

Crystal

I started my course well before the flu outbreak. Everything was perfect, but today the situation students find themselves in is sad, as the quality of education has declined considerably. Most subjects are online, classes are overcrowded, …

Joao Victor Miranda Rêgo

Horrible experience. There's a lack of respect for students, especially those who come from other cities seeking a better future. There's no efficient customer service channel, and even going to the institution in person doesn't resolve …

Amanda Araujo

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT THIS PLACE!!!!!!! This college is truly awful; after Afya bought Uninovafapi, everything fell apart. The architecture course is practically nonexistent; you practically graduate through distance learning.

Augusto Cardoso

It's the best university center; it leaves something to be desired in some areas, but it's a place where you feel at home and it has the best infrastructure, and some professors need to learn to be more humane as well.

Miguel Borges

The doormen's service was very poor. They almost closed the gate to the car entrance on top of me without warning. I complained to the two doormen who were in the guardhouse, but they treated me very rudely.

Monalizza América

I'm not happy. I'm an online student from Canto do Buriti-PI, and they're not giving us students the support we deserve.
It's disrespectful to us to keep paying for something that doesn't provide the …

Wilder Pires

Terrible. I spent 3 days calling the dental department and nobody answers the phone. It's like a government office, or worse, they actually answer calls there. Terrible quality and service - 10 stars.

Camila Guedes

Excellent place for consultation and follow-up. Everything is done with the professors and students, in a very careful and detailed way, they seek the appropriate treatment for the patient.

Simone da Silva Lopes

After UNINOVAFAPI was sold to the Afya group, the students are no longer heard.
All the professors are being fired mid-semester because the nice people at the Afya group want to cut costs.

Gilvan Silva dos Santos (gilvanfisico)

Reasonable infrastructure.
There are not enough electrical outlets in the classrooms for student and general public use. There are only outlets at the front of the classrooms near the …

Dyanne Moreira

Very good physical structure. Good teachers.

Pros: Very expensive and lack of security in the neighborhood, with frequent robberies against students. So it becomes dangerous.

Rakel Lys

Wonderful. I was very well attended to. The place was clean, not crowded, and the people were super attentive. And the manager... such a sweet person. Congratulations! ??? …

Elivone Maria Serra

Excellent professionals, good quality service, friendly and attentive staff, I have nothing to complain about this establishment, I will always give them a 1000 rating.

Antonio Wellington costa Costa

I approved of the service, as well as the way the university notified me about my appointment and that I was on the waiting list at the Planalto Uruguai health center.

Paloma Carvalho

The first university center in Piauí, it has a large and adequate structure. Good professors, however some leave something to be desired in terms of teaching methods.

Joanderson Fernandes

Excellent educational institution, good infrastructure, and a faculty and student body dedicated to delivering the best for the student! I recommend it...

Vitoria Dias

It was a good college, until they fired the best professors in Teresina just to pay less for new professors with much weaker resumes... Afya quality seal.

Luzinete Fontenele

Very good. I missed having water. I didn't find any water fountains or anything similar. The place was very hot during the vaccination triage area.

Ingryd Viana

Firing excellent teachers for no apparent reason and against their will. The quality of education is failing, and tuition fees just keep rising.

Victor Sales

Quality has declined significantly since the acquisition by the Afya group. In addition, there's been a high rate of dismissal of good teachers.

Mary Mendes

My daughter studies there and is about to graduate in nutrition. I am grateful to the institution for the excellent education she has received.

Luciana Silva

The service was very good! But regarding the waiting line, it's disorganized; it needs more organization at the entrance and more information.

Gilvana Rodrigues

After UNINOVAFAPI was sold to the Afya group, students are no longer heard. Quality today is neither here nor anywhere near the price you pay!

Luis Carlos

Excellent facilities and a pleasant learning environment.
The integrated health center's service provides great assistance to the community.

Mateus Raniely

A beautiful structure, accessible to people with disabilities and with spaces designed for the social inclusion of overweight people!

Silvana Magalhães

The structure is wonderful, but in terms of customer service (phone, reception...) it leaves something to be desired.

Leticia Costa

Excellent facilities, the teaching is high quality, it just leaves a little to be desired in terms of organization.

Maria De Deus

It was wonderful, it met all my expectations. Congratulations to everyone who makes up this group of professionals.

Amanda Gabriella

By firing the best teachers, they don't care about the quality of education, and they don't listen to the students.

Hirla Lima

Firing the best teachers, dissatisfied students, the coordinator doesn't even respond to the students!

Ny Alves

They don't know how to respect the consumer; I wouldn't recommend this institution for your children.

Eu Vida

I was going to enroll in that college, but after those comments I want nothing to do with it lol

Thyago Prado

The worst cost-benefit ratio; students in online courses don't even seem to count as students.

Edinho Moura

Excellent, top-notch resume, but the customer service is terrible, only email is available.

Lucas Cabral

A college with excellent teaching, an integrative center, great cafeterias, and rest areas.

Mylena Raposo

Very well-structured, and it seems to be an excellent choice of educational institution.

Hosana Macedo

That's great, but far from home... but you can always find a way to solve the problem.

lucas

Back in my day it was excellent. I've noticed that production has dropped a bit now.

Mariana Santos

The service takes too long, and the waiting room chairs are uncomfortable to sit in.

Silvia Freire

Great institution, the physiotherapy course at Uninovafapi was a good experience. …

Francilene Santos

The institution is very pleasant and has excellent staff; congratulations to them.

Júlia Fábia

I went to the Equação Certa event in the auditorium, a great space for lectures.

Hernando Fernandes

The service was very good and they provided excellent service to the community.

Rawenna Machado

Excellent quality of teaching, but there is still much room for improvement.

Kawanny Cavalcante

An institution that doesn't care about its students, much less their needs.

Francisco Das Chagas Sousa Campos

The service was excellent and it's a beautiful place, I really liked it...

Flany Granja

Communication via telephone support is difficult. I'm tired of calling.

Luís Henrique Machado de Sousa

Very good location, with ample parking and one of the best in Teresina.

Graziely Neves de Oliveira

I really enjoyed it; the professionals were very polite and attentive.

gaby borges

The worst institution that exists to study at! A ridiculous college.

Gesidenio Filho

Terrible... I waited 1 hour and 20 minutes and received no service.

Marina Lima

I'd like to know how many medical school classes they've graduated.

alexsander P .sousa

Before I became afya it was perfect, now I'm only going downhill.

Michael Fernandes

An institution of this size and it doesn't have a working phone.

Canal Maciota

Does anyone know if there's parking available? And if it's safe?

Knowledge is essential ?? …
