💬 Student Reviews

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

Luiz Marinho

I've seen brothels more organized. There's nobody at the reception desk. If you want to get angry, you can enroll. It's simply the worst institution in the country; you're treated like trash, they don't answer, they don't respond, and they don't resolve anything in person. I've never been so humiliated as in this institution.

Dayane Fernanda

This university condones animal abuse!!! A complete disrespect for life, ethics, and animal dignity. Supporting or studying at an institution like this is to condone unacceptable practices. Think carefully before investing your future in a place that ignores basic principles of humanity. If I could, I would give it 0 stars.

ROGÉRIO DO NASCIMENTO

I studied at UnP on Engenheiro Roberto Freire street. The teaching is excellent, but the students seemed like participants in Big Brother Brazil, forming cliques and showing affinities, and some of the professors were arrogant. They studied so hard to get into the profession that it seemed like they had lost their humanity.

Fernanda Machado

Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience. I did everything I could to become a UNP student, but the service is terrible... It's very difficult to get through to someone... Either you talk to the automated system or you have to wait at least two hours for in-person/online assistance.

Vitória Evelynn

They charge the full course fee for re-enrollment, don't enroll. They offer thousands of discounts to get you started, scholarships and everything else, but when it's time for you to take the next semester, they charge you the full price. It's a huge scam, it only delays students' lives.

Myla Fernandes

Terrible! I enrolled, requested credit for previous courses, paid a fee and a monthly tuition payment, my courses were never added, and even though my enrollment was canceled, they are charging me for two months going forward! In short, I don't recommend it, it's nothing but a headache.

Micarla Medeiros

Terrible service. You suffer like a stray dog ??trying to speak to someone in the office or coordination, and when you do, they don't resolve anything. It's amazing how nobody knows anything, nobody does anything to help the students. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.

Thales Costa

Bad university. Terrible service. My academic transcript is completely wrong. There are subjects I didn't pay for. There are subjects I paid for that are missing. And the administration simply ignores it. I've already tried to get help three times and they won't attend to me.

Medeiros Freitas

The staff at UnP don't know how to resolve why the enrollment contract isn't ready for acceptance on the app, even though there are no outstanding financial issues. This is absurd and unacceptable; UnP is being harmed. Please hire more dedicated staff to resolve these issues.

Noêmia Maria

I found it disrespectful to the student that the UNIVERSITY simply told me in my last semester, studying aesthetics, that they no longer had the afternoon class available. I've been taking afternoon classes since the beginning, and the ONLY …

Marcira Jara Silva Oliveira

Terrible service at the distance learning office. The only competent attendant, Isadora, was fired from the Roberto Freire unit in Natal simply because she was helpful and attentive. We have no support when we need anyone; there's no one to …

Lucas Mateus

I wouldn't recommend this college to others. Today, I received the news that my in-person course will be discontinued, with the option to change the schedule or opt for distance learning (EAD). We are halfway through the course, and many of …

Letícia Santos

There's simply no proper service because neither the online nor the in-person support is helpful. In my first semester, I spent more time at the student center than in class, and guess what? I didn't get anything resolved. Re-enrollment was …

ClaraTube

The most disorganized university in the world, with very few art courses. It doesn't have a film school; audiovisual classes are only at night. And there's always some problem in the first few days of class, making it almost impossible for …

SonicExtroze

Terrible institution. I enrolled for this year, online classes started on the 24th, but I'm not receiving the lessons on my Blackboard. I'm still waiting to receive them, but I'm not getting them. I've tried contacting customer service and …

Evelyn Beatriz

I'm only giving one star because I can't give zero. I had a terrible experience at UNP. The coordinator of my CST in Marketing course ignored me in every aspect. I scheduled a visit to her office online (because that's what she asked me to …

Pedro Araújo

Today I was served by the WORST institutional administrative staff I've ever encountered. The student services team lost a document and tried to resolve the issue with lies. The supervisory team didn't even leave their chat room to try and …

Giovanna Gurgel

I'm in my 10th semester and I still haven't been able to include the subjects from the first semester to pay for them. I've even submitted my final thesis, and they still won't open the courses I need to get my diploma. They said I should …

João Paulo Silva

A great option for those seeking a university that offers educational resources and flexible schedules for those who value organization and planning. It still suffers from comments regarding its reliability and the places it offers, being …

Beatriz Teixeira Da silva teles

I'm sad I can't give it zero stars. Simply the worst college experience ever. I won a scholarship for a psychology course through the PROUNI program. I went to the on-site campus and they told me to resolve it via WhatsApp, saying that's …

Vitor Braganca

They conduct experiments on animals in their veterinary classes that cause mistreatment. The professor induced cardiorespiratory arrest in an animal and left it without oxygen; there were complaints, and nothing was done! Disgusting place.

Júlia Sá

The online customer service is HORRIBLE; they leave you waiting for hours only to transfer you to a different department, and nobody helps. The only way to resolve it is to go there and sort it out. I haven't even started college yet and …

Seu Leandro

There's no customer service. If you want to speak with the secretary or coordinator, need documents for your internship, or receive your diploma, you might as well gather a bag of patience. The WhatsApp number is merely illustrative, and …

Claudia Medeiros

If I could, I'd give it below zero, because zero is still too much. If they put that option, there will be so many zeros that they'll have to close down. The institution doesn't have prepared staff; they only know how to pass the student …

Marcus Vinícius

Excellent structure. Great service. Highly technological classrooms with fantastic equipment (computers and media use). Great library with a reasonable collection (weak point: some fundamental books are outdated). Specialist professors, …

Alysson Steve

Potiguar University has problems like any other, that's for sure. However, this doesn't prevent me from taking advantage of the various academic benefits that this institution has to offer its students. Since I arrived in August 2017, I …

Geovane Petre

I wouldn't recommend UNP to my worst enemy. It's disorganized, nobody knows how to give information, and calling the central office is even worse. They NEVER responded to me on WhatsApp, and even the security guards don't know where the …

Dani Morais

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend UNP to anyone, and I don't know anyone who would. I've only had headaches with the university, and it's clearly a company that only thinks about monetary gain, not student education. When I try to resolve …

Yanna Santana

There's so much technology involved, yet so much unnecessary hassle. Student support is a complete lack of respect. You call, and the recording says it's via WhatsApp, that the desired option isn't available (like changing shifts), and …

Gilberto Dantas

I studied there, but I didn't know the institution that well back then. Now, with a degree in Engineering, I see the scale of this unit; it offers accessibility in common areas for the public. It must be the unit with the most parking …

Monica Lb

Complete disregard for the student, total regret, professors with no commitment to the subject matter (not all of them), terrible support, you almost always get no answer, total disregard, they charge you several times for what you've …

Érica Lucena

It's a shame, I only enrolled a week ago and I haven't been able to contact UNP since. Before I enrolled, everyone called me daily and answered my WhatsApp messages, but now nothing. Disappointment is an understatement for how I feel.

Paloma Fernandes

My rating is 0, it starts from the entrance to the service, you go looking for information and it feels like you're asking for a favor, ignorant and super authoritarian people. Do you know when UNP will ever see my foot there? Never!

david macena de Araujo

One piece of advice: don't study at UNP, it's nothing but a headache. I'm here with a bad credit record even though I didn't even study there! They put my name on Serasa (a Brazilian credit bureau) and I didn't even go there, lol.

Idausa Passos

I was very well received, although there were some bureaucratic issues, which were promptly resolved by the coordinator, Professor Felipe. I would also like to thank the professor for all the attention he gives to law students.

JOAO MARIA MORAIS CONSELHEIRO TUTELAR PARA 2028

This year we believe that our God is faithful, starting with the Shulamite woman from the duo Shulamite and Shunamite woman, starting here at UNP. We believe in the providence of our God... Shulamite woman doing magistracy.

Nelson Augusto

Terrible service, employees with sour faces, no one comes to help you, you go to resolve something and you go home without a concrete answer, and this is because we are paying, and paying terribly, for a service like this.

Ibnny Afonso

Terrible student support. There's no phone number to CALL, only a WhatsApp number where the service is very slow, and when it's finally your turn, they say they can't solve the problem. Run away from this institution!

Juliana Barbosa

As always, the service is slow and there are too few employees working. They always pass the responsibility for resolving the situation onto whoever goes there to find a solution. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone!

Suzi Pamela

I'm from São Paulo but I'll be going to Natal to study Law and I'd like to know if this university has a good law program and if the facilities are good too? From the photos it looks nice, can someone answer me?

CAMILA lathur

The student support center is inefficient because they lack the autonomy to resolve problems inherent to students' needs, resulting in numerous in-person and online waiting lines with requests upon requests. …

Marcos

The most delinquent college in Natal... It closed its doors and sent thousands of students away while courses were still in progress... It's great if you want to get scammed and throw your money away...

Magnus Lucio

They are genuinely concerned about social distancing. There's always someone checking how many people are in the teaching kitchen and walking around the entire building, conducting inspections.

Ericson Matheus

They siphon money even from future generations, they only care about profit, if you can pass it on to someone else, take advantage while you can. Worse than selling your soul to the devil.

Deyvison Lobato

In three semesters I had more problems with her than with anything else in my life... there's no communication there. You're left stranded, desperately searching for help, and nothing.

Isabelle Silva

The university has absolutely no respect for its students. This isn't the first problem I've faced due to their terrible service, but this time it's gone beyond all limits.

César Barbosa

It is a higher education complex with wheelchair-accessible facilities, a food court, free parking, spacious and air-conditioned classrooms, and a very well-located area.

Dani Morais

A tip for everyone: RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!
Terrible! By far, the worst institution.
There wasn't a single semester that I didn't have some kind of headache. Now, to …

neymouralp

Regarding the polling place, it's terrible. Elderly people had to climb three flights of ramps to reach the voting booths. Lack of planning and disregard for the voter.

MicroPrint Soluções em T.I.

For anyone wanting to study engineering, unfortunately, in my opinion, this is the worst institution your money can buy!
Total disorganization of the teaching system! …

Daniela Gama

We want a retraction regarding the case of the dog used as a patient in a veterinary course class, where the "professor" induced an undue cardiorespiratory arrest. …

Matheus Pereira

I do not recommend pursuing a degree at UNP; prices are constantly changing, and there is a lack of information for students, especially regarding re-enrollment.

Allyson Moura

It used to be an excellent college, but now everything is very complicated. You call and nobody answers, the service is slow. It's difficult to resolve anything.

Felipe Lucas

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. You call to get information about the courses and they hang up on you. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.

Altino Medeiros Dantas

An excellent higher education institution, but I was here today after running around for several days trying to get my second dose of the Coronavac vaccine ? …

Gabi Rocha

Good infrastructure, but could be improved. I also miss having more trees, especially on hot days and in an area with a lot of traffic and car pollution.

Rhuan Carlos

Worst university in Natal. It's more focused on finances than on the quality of education. Terrible, terrible. Avoid headaches, stay away from UNP!

Jessica Saraiva

Terrible university with no consideration for students. I'm going into my last semester, 2025.1, and this damn thing is blocking my re-enrollment.

Sandro Rogério Assis

The website said it was a collection point for donations for Bahia. However, we arrived there today and there was no one to receive the donations.

Letícia Carvalho

It's wonderful to get in, but a headache to get out. Extremely bad, run while you still can and don't even think it will be any different for you.

Wildeneia Silva

General disappointment at UNP; nobody can get in touch with the nursing course coordinator, and it's easier to talk to the president than to her.

Laetitia Leroy

Everything is so complicated, poorly expressed, and difficult to resolve that it discourages the student.
Terrible coordination, terrible system.

Matheus Araújo (matheusrn89)

Excellent teaching facilities, great location, and a wide range of courses available. I attended an event there and all the staff were helpful.

Kimberly Riland

I'd like to know if there's a place to store a bicycle, because I didn't see one. It's a good place, but I didn't think the ramp was very nice.

Mariana Albuquerque

TWO MONTHS trying to obtain an academic transcript (a situation that has still not been resolved, despite having spoken to several people). …

Italo Peixoto

The best university in Rio Grande do Norte, and the price makes all the difference. Various course opportunities and practical classes.

Letícia Zuccon

PEOPLE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DID THIS PLACE CLOSE? THE WEBSITE SAYS THE TECHNICAL SCHOOL IS THERE, BUT I CAN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM!

Glauber Soares

Parking gets a 10/10 rating. Now, students who have classes until after 10 PM should be careful that their car doesn't get locked in.

Juliana Duarte Duarte

I liked the environment, but the classroom chairs are very uncomfortable; you need to review this urgently, I was in so much pain!!

Allyson Queiroz

I tried to enroll, I sent all the documents, but they never sent me the contract and the documentation to complete the enrollment.

Matheus Bruno

Terrible university. UNP used to be a real university. Since Anima took over the administration, it's been nothing but problems. …

Ednardo Pereira

Student support is terrible. I waited for two hours and they didn't solve my problem. This isn't the first time this has happened.

Lucia Fabiola Schauffert

I went to get my vaccine today and witnessed the university paramedics providing care. They were very quick and efficient. ???? …

Cebolinha

My experience was so good that I joined in 2014, and I'm still there today. And I want to continue for many years, God willing.

Lucas 2022

The best private university in Rio Grande do Norte, both in terms of infrastructure and especially teaching. It's outstanding!

Andreia Carolinne

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! It's always a mess trying to resolve any issue. Worst university ever, nothing but stress!

Adriene Andrade Pereira

Great and excellent college, my son is in his final year of undergraduate studies and we have never had any problems with it.

Pedro Maia

Was this the university where a "professor" intentionally caused a dog to stop breathing? Can someone please confirm this?

Lamarck Jéverton

Terrible, there's no way to contact the institution and the numbers provided by the online/electronic support don't work.

Sol Andrade

I like UnP overall. But today, the voting location was poorly organized. However, this isn't the institution's fault.

Cristiano

After it changed ownership, it ended up like UNP, 30 years of experience, for Anima, zero experience, disorganized. …

Josane Soares da Câmara

I didn't like it; the wait was long and I couldn't get what I needed to do. I was left outside for a very long time.

Marcos Assenheimer

Making elderly people and at-risk groups climb three flights of stairs up a ramp on election day is a disgrace!!!!

laurindo almeida

My university, I'm just starting there now, but I already like the structure, the teachers are very welcoming.

ASPEC RH

Good morning! I need to speak with someone from UNP University; we are looking to hire engineering interns.

MÁRCIO EDOARDO FLORENCIO ESCRITÓRIO DE ADVOCACIA

Horrible. Given the location, one would expect a more pleasant environment. It left much to be desired.

Charllys De Lima

Great environment and quality service, not to mention the teaching which leaves nothing to be desired.

Rute Uriac

A catastrophic and terrible experience!

This is, without a doubt, the worst university in Natal. …

Amanda Coutho

Which of the units has the professor who intentionally caused respiratory arrest in the dog?

Kal Fernandes

Excellent infrastructure, well located, and one of the best private universities in Brazil.

Emanoel Nunes

The facilities leave much to be desired. I took the culinary course and it was great.

Valdeques Junior

I study at UNP and it really does have good teaching, with attentive professionals.

Jaliale b. de andrade

Great facilities, but the service and information leave something to be desired.

Maiconfsoares soares

I am completely dissatisfied; I can't get in touch with anyone at UNP by phone.

Denise Alves Araújo

It has a well-organized and quite large structure. This building surprised me.

Maria Tomaz

It is a conducive place for the development of cultural/scientific knowledge.

Steve Henri Devos

I just went to this place to have my first covid vaccine! Great experience!!

Rodrigo Souza

Amazing structure. Looking forward to starting my Marketing degree in 2017.

Arthur DyAraújo

The leading private university in the state with fantastic infrastructure.

Wesly

The facilities are good, but the service leaves something to be desired.

Tiago Salvador

Great is an environment where I feel good and at peace with myself.

Jadde Lima

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. This institution is deplorable.

Wendel Pereira

It used to be very good, but nowadays I don't recommend it.

Daniel Andrade

The best UnP campus. It has ample parking available.

Aline Costa

Terrible service, I'm never going back there again.

Yuri Ribeiro

The college takes too long to respond to requests.

Maria Silva

I wouldn't wish that ability on my worst enemy.

Daniela Brito

We want UnP back on Roberto Freire!

Silvana Simão
