Abstract
In the contemporary setting, it has become crucial to understand the differentiated experiences according to gender at the university. The research analyzes the perceptions of students at the Technical University of Manabí regarding academic and administrative aspects using a quantitative approach and a sample of 2870 undergraduate students. Through the use of SPSS, significant differences in perceptions according to gender were identified, although the effect size was moderate, indicating that they are not marked. It is therefore fundamental to encourage inclusive and equitable strategies, and to prioritize a deeper exploration to properly support future institutional policies.
