Universidad Jesuita de Guadalajara - ITESO (reviews)

I had the good fortune to study at ITESO (Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente). For me, it was a unique opportunity. Throughout my life I studied in public schools, so having the chance to attend a private university was a great opportunity. The people around me welcomed me with open arms, and the environment was unbeatable. It took effort for me to reach the same level of knowledge as most of my classmates, but in the end, I achieved it. I studied Computer Systems Engineering (ISC), and it has been one of the best experiences of my life. The academic level is very high, the facilities are beautiful and functional, but as I mentioned before, it is the people who are truly extraordinary.

Studying at ITESO has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Since my first semester in the Software Development program, I’ve felt supported by professors who truly care about helping you learn and grow. The environment is amazing — there’s a strong sense of community, great friendships, and plenty of opportunities to develop academically and personally. The facilities are modern, the labs are well-equipped, and there are always workshops, activities, and projects that keep you motivated. ITESO is definitely a place where you enjoy your time and learn a lot.

Although ITESO promotes the slogan ‘Free to transform,’ it remains an institution with clear guidelines and rules. I initially enrolled in the Audiovisual Arts program, but due to a lack of practical content that could genuinely improve my career prospects, I decided to switch to the Strategic Communication program. It started well, but eventually, every class turned into ‘Social Media Management,’ which I found dreadful, repetitive, and, in some ways, degrading.

That said, ITESO is a great institution that is constantly renewing its facilities and creating new ways to enhance university life. I couldn’t have imagined myself at another campus.

This is one of the Top 3 Universities in Mexico no doubt, ITESO has a beautiful campus, full of gardens and big trees, the air you breath feels different. The only downside to this school would probably be that some of the buildings have gotten old but still in very good shape. This would be a great place from students all over the world to at least experience a 6 month excahnge and learn about different cultures in a relaxed but renowned University.
