Yo no estudié esta universidad pero mi hija, estudiando medicina, ha tenido una formación excelente, preparándola muy bien para su futuro y para sacar adelante con éxito el exámen del MIR. La calidad de enseñanza en esta entidad pública se puede considerar bastante mejor que la de la mayoría de las universidades públicas, no sólo en medicina.

Mi experiencia allí fue inolvidable. Una gran universidad con un profesorado muy cualificado y variado. Donde no solo puedes estudiar. Cuenta con un sensacional donde puedes interactuar con gente, asignaturas y enseñanzas de otras facultades, gracias a que se encuentran todas en un mismo recinto. Cuentan con actividades deportivas y culturales muy amplias, además de ofrecer multitud de servicios para los estudiantes. Simplemente es una Universidad fantástica!!!

Terrible university! I did my erasmus year here and honestly it was a complete joke compared to UK universities. I think the reason why it gets rated highly is because most students to Autonoma haven't experienced what a decent university is like. It's more like a crappy secondary school than a university. The teaching style is very much, think this, write this, do this and incredible formal. There's no room for your own opinion or growing as a person. And trying to get a one on one meeting with a teacher to discuss your course is practically impossible. There are no my door is always open teachers. It's all I have a one hour window at x time, the same day every week, so if you have a class at that time you can't see them. And e-mails are frequently ignored. I had two final exams that clashed, and instead of being given another time to do one of them, the uni just told me to pick one test and do that. Which meant that I obviously failed one course. They didn't care though as they just take your mark from your bests few courses. They didn't get why I was annoyed that after studying solid for a year to be told not to do the test and rely on the other ones. Not to mention the amount of wild cats roaming the hallways, crapping all over the place was a joke.
