Universidad de los Andes - UNIANDES
speciality: Civil & Structural Engineering

Universidad de los Andes is an outstanding university and one of the top institutions in Latin America. The quality of education is excellent, and the university offers access to some of the best engineering laboratories in the region. One of the highlights is the university’s extensive academic database access, which is incredibly useful for research and academic work.

The campus is well integrated into the surrounding area and maintains a secure, enclosed environment — something I personally appreciate. The restricted access provides a sense of safety and exclusivity. While the campus could benefit from more green spaces, the sports facilities are of very high quality and add great value to the student experience.

One area for improvement, particularly in the Civil Engineering program, is the teaching staff. Many of the professors are highly accomplished professionals or successful entrepreneurs in their fields, which is inspiring. However, this does not always translate into strong teaching abilities. In some cases, their lack of teaching skills made the learning process more challenging.

Overall, Los Andes offers a top-tier educational experience, with impressive infrastructure and resources, but could enhance the academic experience by focusing more on teaching quality within certain programs.

The best University in Colombia, regarded by its academic certifications, it’s PHD professors, excellent campus, diversity, and their research and academic acievements. I studied Civil Engineering and I really loved all the specialized equipment for research, experiments, and learning. This Uni is not a just a technical institution, it has excellent professors and programs for any type of student. I would recommend it over all other Colombian universities to any student in the world.

Best education you can find in Colombia. Very demanding. However, the environment among the students is very impersonal and competitive. I think they should work more on the concept of teamwork, nowadays that´s more important than anything else

Uniandes is considered one of the best universities in Colombia and America since most of its professors have experience and doctorates. Although this does not imply having good teachers, many of them have looked for ways to transmit their knowledge in a better way. Despite the clear focus on the civil engineering career towards the structures, the other subjects of other approaches have good teachers and excellent laboratories as opposed to the approach of ways where the subjects are not explained clearly.

The university has facilities such as classrooms, laboratories, libraries, computer rooms and gymnasium of first level in addition to a closed campus that offers all the guarantees and comforts for students. Personally, this is what I like the most since there is no need to leave the campus to satisfy any need. Uniandes offers a university housing service for international students or for any student who requires it located near the campus.

The university is located in the heart of the city close to TransMilenio and to places of interest such as La Candelaria, Monserrate and the environmental axis. I recommend this university because I think it satisfies great expectations from the point of view of infrastructure, campus and education.
