Top 10 detailed reviews shared by students, along with the universities they belong to.

I visited the university's dentistry department. The equipment is advanced, everything is very clean, there's parking, an excellent location, a Banco Industrial branch, they treat patients of all ages, they accept credit card payments without surcharge (cash payment), and the restrooms and surroundings are tidy and clean.
The campus is pretty and clean, and judging by the students' smiling faces they are happy to learn there. Visitors will want to visit the Popol Vuh museum and possibly the Museo Ixchel, but there is more to explore than just those two sights, e.g. the Paseo de las Estelas and the trail to the top of the campus hill.
The value for money at this university leaves much to be desired. They charge top-tier tuition fees, but their customer service and IT systems seem decades old. It's frustrating to feel that the money invested isn't reflected in the training of administrative staff or the efficiency of basic procedures.
Incredibly beautiful university. What's incomprehensible is how at Liberty University they charge extra to take photos in the museum. And they put a person in charge of it. Giant stickers to identify. It's like Ann Rand's nightmares. Plus, how sad it must be to do that task every day.
The campus of this university is beautiful. Being literally in a ravine, the buildings blend perfectly into the environment. This makes you feel constantly connected to nature. In addition, it boasts a diverse array of wildlife, which is documented on the UFM Arboretum website :)
It's probably one of the most beautiful universities I've ever seen. A real gem for the city, with two priceless museums and truly incredible courtyards. Everyone was so kind and welcoming to us. I can't wait to go back and study there, and to do it in a place like this.

Joke of an institution. They claim to be professional, yet hold no standards for their administration. They’re irresponsible and expect students to fix the problems of their administrative teams with no repercussions for said teams. I’m …
Another university scam. This needs to be looked into, because hiring someone with a high school diploma to teach and then skimming over their resume without checking it only proves that the right, once again, is doing whatever it wants, to …
