As a former freshman of this university, I can say that overall I enjoy it a lot! The environment in campus is very enlightening with the landscape and the school is very sanitary since it provides a lot of maintenance throughout the campus. This university has a lot of intelligent and unique people. The students here for the most part are friendly and outgoing. I recommend this university to all people who would like to study in an economical university. However, this university is only for those who have knowledge with Spanish.
