Living on-campus contributes to the intellectual, social, and emotional well-being of the students who compose the residential community. Student residents live conveniently near University Resources (e.g., their classes and professors, the Library, the Computer Center, and the Field House) and they are part of a community that encourages and helps them to excel academically, while providing them with edifying co-curricular programs, healthy recreational activities, and enjoyable entertainment.

Great teachers and program, very few schedule options for working students. Classes are too far apart as well, you can have one class in the morning and then nothing until 7 pm, which is not very convenient for students.
My experience has been quite good; the academic level is good, you graduate with good skills, the professors are quite qualified, although there are always some who don't do their job properly, and campus life is quite pleasant; there are always people to interact with.
It's the largest and most popular public university in Guadalajara, but it has many problems. One of them is the shortage of qualified professors, poor administration, and a lack of consistency between the university's values ??and its teaching methods. In most cases, students have to learn on their own and with the support of their peers, not thanks to the professors. Not to mention the facilities; the campus is poorly maintained, and there isn't enough equipment or resources to meet the demands of the curriculum. I think there are much better alternatives for pursuing a university degree.
