What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002617) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 92 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.6★ — 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.

Real reviews from students.

karla ornelas

TERRIBLE UNIVERSITY. If you have the opportunity to withdraw or not enroll, don't waste it. Terrible facilities, it feels like a prison, terrible treatment from the administrative department, they don't solve anything, they take a long time to assign internship places, they don't have good agreements, they really have a bad time.

Emmanuel Contreras

A very bad school. Honestly, they're only concerned about your payment. I had a problem making the payment, and they wouldn't give me the exams and denied me the grade for the first partial. It's really a waste of money. Considering how expensive it is and what they offer, go to another university.

Moy

Lamar School on Vallarta Avenue. The school is located next to Exhimoda Plaza. It's conveniently situated on Vallarta Avenue, almost directly under the bridge over the railroad tracks on Inglaterra Avenue. It's close to La Minerva and has easy access to several of the city's main avenues.

Koto Moroko

Terrible school, super impressionable teachers like Susana from psychology, who treats students poorly and rejects their work in favor of crazy, manipulative people who tell things that aren't true, terrible university, if you have the opportunity to get into psychology, DON'T GET IN!

Carlos Coss

The attention and follow-up given to incoming students at this school is deplorable. You have to constantly chase down the admissions staff, and even then, they're reluctant and quite rude. I had the impression they had people dedicated to service and education.

Juan Velasco

Excellent university for professional studies. They offer a wide variety of programs with excellent capacity and facilities. The professors are trained and qualified according to the study modalities. This is an excellent option during these times of pandemic.

Diego Miranda

Terrible attention to students, they don't solve anything and want to charge for everything, they send you contacts that don't even respond and if they do, they justify that they are from other areas, the "attention" hours don't coincide with any work

URSULA OLAGUES

I'm not a student at this university; I'm someone who had a terrible experience with a law student named Brian Alejandro Hernández Franco. He hasn't graduated yet, doesn't have a professional license, and has already learned to scam people. …

Hugo Iñiguez

The facility is very large and has student access control. It's a gate at the back and on Vallarta Avenue. The gate is locked, and only a guard can give you access. All facilities are under cover, which is a great advantage during the rainy …

Acordhes

My experience at this university has been deeply disappointing. From the first day, I noticed unequal treatment from some professors, who clearly favored female students over male students, creating an unfair and unprofessional environment. …

Dalia Esca

I'm giving it one star because there's no less, although that's already a favor. The facilities in general are awful; there's no space and it's cramped. The bathrooms are the worst; there's never any water, only two out of six toilets work, …

Ximena Sandoval

The teachers are very good, but beyond that, the facilities are neglected, and the service from the administration, finance, and coordination departments is terrible. They don't respond to inquiries or resolve issues quickly or efficiently. …

Cristy Garcia

The attention from the director Leonardo López and the teacher Eva is very poor, since they do not care if a student is in good standing or not, only the excessive charges. They cannot tell me if Montserrat Estefanía Arriaga García with …

Simara Sinaí

This school is horrible, it is useless, some of its teachers are not even qualified to teach and are very unprofessional with the students and the coordination staff are useless, no matter how many times you file a report about a situation …

Bri V

Terrible organization and service (they are slow, rude, they commonly send you to the wrong areas, they do not solve problems) in administration and services in general, but despite this they are very strict with payment times and not very …

Karla Gómez

Terrible academic institution. I've been studying medicine here for four semesters, and I've had terrible teachers. Apparently, their hiring doesn't require any screening, or they don't monitor their teaching style or their knowledge. Very …

Kevin Flores Peña

For the large amount of money paid, the quality of the facilities and staff is appalling. There's no internet, the facilities are old, the benches are in terrible condition, there's no ventilation in the classrooms, and some classrooms leak...

Emmanuel Miguel

Precarious facilities, arrogant teachers, no follow-up of students, excessively expensive for what it offers, you will notice this and much more, if you are thinking of being part of this university, don't do it, you will regret it day by day.

REMAK FORKLIFT

My daughter enrolled in August 2023 and dropped out after a week. The registrar's office is never available or willing to assist students. The facilities are a dump; there's no internet, no parking, and they charge like a real university. …

Sandra Gomez

If you're thinking of enrolling, don't. They pay little attention to or prioritize the education of us students. The teachers are increasingly incompetent and don't teach according to the subject matter or the curriculum. I've had to seek …

josé Prado

Their restrooms are precarious, unmaintained, and unworthy of the students. They don't provide toilet paper, their faucets are damaged, they charge too much tuition to give a damn about something so basic and necessary. It shows that they …

Delia Valle

Hello, good day, I want to give an opinion about the psychology major, how is it possible that they let a person who studies this beautiful major graduate if the person entered my house to kill his cousin and dogs, file a report that they …

Enrique R

I hope you have the courage not to say anything in a harsher tone, but all the bad comments you read about this university are true. I was a student for almost three months at this institution, if you can even call it that, and honestly, …

John C

From bad to worse. They don't answer the phones and pass the buck to avoid helping the user. The programs might be fine, and most of the professors are good too, but the degree takes forever to be issued. They don't allow students to get …

Andres Sandoval

Besides their exorbitant "administrative fees" charged semester after semester, the internship and community service (even if you no longer attend school) require continued tuition payments (other schools only charge registration fees). …

CARLOS OCONNOR

They fire good teachers for demanding labor rights, while the complacent and terrible teachers are the ones who "educate." They have nothing but unqualified teachers. Did you know that in physical therapy they have the library assistant …

Alumneando con El Lobato

A beautiful and excellent "temple of knowledge," one of many in LAMAR. Its infrastructure and growing reputation are earning it a place among the state's best universities with international impact. Its academic quality and professional …

JM M

The teachers are often absent, oh but if you are 1 month late on your monthly payment they will charge you 1,400 or so in surcharges alone. It is worth mentioning that this information is up to date, my daughter is less than a year away …

Celia Gómez

Don't be fooled by their "scholarships" bait. They give them out based on your GPA and your payment plan (which they changed for me for no reason, and their solution was to remove the discount). They charge exorbitant late fees and are …

Daniela Alvarez

It's a terrible institution. The administrators don't solve anything. It's not like they tell you when you enroll. Seven semesters, and what the university initially promised has never been fulfilled. There are definite problems with …

Ricardo Fierros

The attention and follow-up given to students is terrible. (They're slow, rude, and don't solve problems.) This is especially true in administration and general services; they're also very strict with payment deadlines and not very …

Alexander Ramírez A.

The campus feels like a prison, in poor condition considering the monthly fees charged to each student, especially for the medical program, which charges over 60,000 per semester. The student support is terrible; they never answer …

Adriana Torres

I do not recommend this institution at all because they are not serious about opening more classrooms than the programs need. It's a mess in terms of student attention, and they never provide a solution to anything. It's truly …

Livier Mederos

Getting worse... we have no answers, graduates without degrees, much less jobs...
The facilities are very ugly. The administrative, graduation, and school oversight areas are in shambles ? …

Andre Daniel Lopez Guevara

The worst six months as a student were due to problems with a dentistry teacher named Susana. She humiliated and belittled the students, even when they were understanding and respectful.

adriana cuevas

It's so difficult to communicate. When I was in the process of registering my daughter, I could communicate without any problem, but now telephone communication is terrible.

atipul flores

They should provide parking for students; they're having a lot of trouble finding places to park their vehicles. With what you charge, there should be parking available.

IVAN ALEJANDRO GOMEZ RODRIGUEZ

I come from the UTEG University Campus, a terrible school. I don't recommend any UTEG campus at all. If you don't believe me, check the comments when you Google it. …

Gabriela Cerda

Terrible student services.
They only treat you really well in admissions.
I'm a graduate, and once you ask for graduation information, they give it to you …

Juan Antonio Olintonatiuh Betanconurt Zuñiga

The service provided by the staff and teachers is good, but any procedure that involves a higher level of management is deplorable.

Recargas DonHugo (Anfitrión)

Prestigious downtown university campus with ample parking, and you're sure to find a program to suit your needs.

glendakorzi
