What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002751) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.5★ — 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 Ecuador 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.

This panel is generated from data on this page (WDOMS listing and student reviews) plus general precautions that apply to any MBBS admission abroad — it is not a claim, positive or negative, about this specific college beyond what's shown here.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

Verónica Gutierrez

Excellent campuses, at the forefront of technology. They have campuses in Colón, Granados, Queri, UdlaPark, Nayon, and others on the outskirts of the city for internships in the university's various faculties. It is inclusive in society, providing highly enriching job opportunities for students.

Karina García

Overall, I like the university's vision, the new campuses, and the applied technology, but green spaces are sorely needed on all campuses, and an elevator is needed in the Faculty of Architecture...it's not a suitable place for disabled people in that faculty specifically!

Kleber Garzon

As a university, one of the best, with good technology, service, and infrastructure.
A comfortable place, warm on sunny days and too cold on rainy days, clean, but several students are smoking at the entrances. Remember to be careful around the area.

ivan escobar

Disappointed as parents that the Clinical Psychology students were not taken into account, we need to know, Mr. Lareategui, what happened with the graduation ceremony. Did the students not meet the requirements? Did we, the parents, fail to …

Micaela Calahorrano

The education provided by most of the professors is good, as are the facilities. The only terrible thing here is the service provided by the people who work here, specifically those in the academic secretariat. As a student or a foreigner, …

Andixon Gomez

It's a very nice place; I liked the university. It has a good staff, and it's a place full of dreams and aspirations where, if you work hard, you can achieve them. When it's my turn to enter university, this will be my choice. I hope to be …

Elena Aguirre

Udla is offering a specialization in Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery. From my point of view, the requirements for this specialization are very poor. Applicants are not required to have a minimum of two years of residency in …

Arbelly Alcivar

Well, the important thing about a university isn't its walls, but the knowledge it provides. I went to a graduation ceremony; I know it's one of the best universities in Latin America, but I haven't studied there and haven't received any …

I've been attending this university for two months since I wrote this comment, and I have to say that I really liked the service on the two occasions I visited, for customer service and for vaccinations. The facilities were very nice, …

William Sequera

My presence at the institution was due to the vaccination campaign.
I took my grandchildren who were due for their second dose.... A good organization, and the young people who are providing the service with excellent human qualities.

Gabriel Bellettini Vela

Located on Queri Street, between Av. de los Granados and Eloy Alfaro. These seven multifunctional buildings include laboratories, workshops, a library, an auditorium, offices for faculty and staff, and parking spaces. …

Carlos Ronquillo

Access roads are very congested, there is no parking for visitors or waiting, there is a lot of traffic dropping off or picking up students even at night and the University should have temporary parking for vehicles.

Francisco Maza

The facilities are very nice, but education isn't affordable for everyone. With all due respect, both sides should offer more options and make it more accessible to provide a quality education for our children.

Christian “Marzzel” Cazar

One of the highest quality teaching institutions in the country. Their building shows prestige and quality.
They are currently offering vaccination and the attention and organization are great.

Alejandra

Hello, I would like to know if anyone studies education at the Udla in hybrid mode. Could you please help me how it is, since I see that there are bad comments about the U.

They profit excessively and look for any opportunity to do so. The student feels anything but like they are part of an institution where students are valued and important.

Of the university's three campuses, this one is very quiet, rarely has traffic, the spaces are spacious and are constantly being adapted to the needs of the students.

Excellent university, the best for learning and networking. It has new facilities and excellent teachers. Recreational spaces and plenty of green areas.

I hope not to study engineering here again, especially because of the English and many useless subjects that contribute nothing to the degree itself.

Mayra

It has a modern, earthquake-resistant infrastructure, and offers a beautiful view of the city from here, making it a fascinating place to study.

Fredd Saltos

The parking lots are very small; it's best not to drive since there's always traffic during the school year. The facilities are large and clean.
