Safety is an important consideration for both residents and visitors, and the city of Guadalajara has made significant efforts to ensure a secure environment.

 

Guadalajara is generally safe for tourists and students, with many areas being well-patrolled and maintained. It is advisable to stay aware of their surroundings, especially in less familiar areas, and to follow common safety practices such as not displaying valuable items and using reliable transportation.

 

The Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara (UAG) takes the safety of its students seriously, offering a secure campus environment with security personnel and surveillance systems in place.

UAG School of Medicine is a closed gated campus, which can only be accessed by current students and alumni. Campus security and safety are key features, and our commitment is to provide students, parents, and employees with a safe environment.
