The best university in Mexico
Studying at the UDLAP was the best decision ever! If you want to study at a university with the best professors and a great campus, this is the place to go! You can go on academic exchanges, do internships abroad, get a multicultural experience, and so much more!
Great campus, great uni
The campus is definitely one of the most attractive attributes of this university, with a great variety of open and indoor spaces to study and socialise, well-equipped laboratories and lots of green areas which is something not that common in large cities like Puebla. The only downside, in my opinion, might be that some areas can feel quite overcrowded at some points during the day, e.g. the cafeteria and some dinning areas (though expansion works in the main dinner are on the way). There isn’t much parking area either. Overall my experience has been really good, I’ve had great professors which have encouraged me to participate in several academic activities I wouldn’t have considered joining at first. The teaching environment is regularly neither too strict nor too relaxed, though in my experience, a high level of compromise and responsibility is key to achieve good results.
Efficient, so complete and accurate
It was really complete with all the subjects I had during the career. They give me a lot of information of a lot of different fields of study like biology, physics, maths, material sciences, polymers, and the variations of chemistry.
