Where to live near UCP, in Ciudad del Este
UCP launched its medicine program in Ciudad del Este in 2018 and has quickly built a presence among international students.
UCP — Universidad Central del Paraguay — was created and regulated by Paraguay's Ministry of Education in 2010, and began offering medicine in Ciudad del Este in 2018, quickly gaining ground among international students.
Since the program is newer to the city compared to more established schools, the housing supply around its campus is still consolidating — which also means less competition among agencies offering this service with real depth.
