Leidy Carolina

The ESPOCH Higher Polytechnic School offers quality education and faculty, organizes high-level lectures, and has a welcoming and spacious auditorium. However, the external infrastructure is somewhat neglected, with worn paint. The green areas could use more cleanliness and improvement.

Myriam Naula

ESPOCH is an educational institution that prepares future professionals with advanced knowledge for the progress of the country. It is recognized nationally and internationally. Congratulations on its 50th anniversary! RECOMMENDED ?????5??0?? Proud to be a Polytechnic student ??? …

Sara Madera

It's a very large student center, and at the moment, due to the situation we're going through, it looks deserted. But when students were going to their classes, it was a very active place; the coming and going of young students filled this place and its surroundings with joy.

jessica ruales

Green spaces, very well-distributed buildings, parking spaces, common recreation areas, libraries, laboratories, food areas, swimming pool, gym, soccer fields, basketball courts and much more. This institution is equipped with all the basic requirements for students.

Alexis Quilumba

In times of pandemic, the Polytechnic School complies with all the habits that the national COE asks of you, in addition to the fact that I am a student there in the gastronomy career, they were very careful due to a small event that was obtained for the subject
