Categories Comments Great for these types of students People who are serious and passionate about animation and graphics design as a profession; open-minded students with dedication and a willingness to learn; people who love being up-to-date on the latest technology associated with both professions.
Tips for prospective students Take the night classes; there is a more studious environment at these hours, and more individualized attention is available to the student.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Is very safety. Cameras are everywhere, and there are some security guys around the campus.
Greek Life Doesn't have one.
Clubs and Activities There is no clubs, no sports, not anything, just a lot of people who love anime. The activities are the parties that I mentioned before.
Great for these types of students How I told, if you like anime, and you are a social unadapted person, you are going to love this college, but let me tell you something: get real.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Unusual traditions? Almost everything here is unusual. They do a big party in Halloween and they do a costume fashion show in the party. Also they do a Christmas party and there is a Santa and everything. They foment the silliness. You are an adult, not a kid.
Bang for the buck If you want to be a real professional, go to another university. If you want to be nothing, just another employee, maybe this university can work for you. Of course, if you are in Puerto Rico, there's not much opportunities in Graphic Design, so study another thing. If you are there to study accounting or administration, you can do so much better in another college. Some people tell me that the 3D computer programs are kind of good, but I don't really know, I doubt so, I know more 3D than many people there and I just learned studying a single book.
What to do for fun Nothing, just chat with your friends.
Food and Dining The cafeteria is closed at the evening and the night. But you can go to Samba Grill outside the college, and the food is so delicious. 5/5 to Samba's Grill, the 2/5 are for the cafeteria inside the college.
Dorm Life Doesn't even have dorm life.
Academic Rigor Very very easy. They just give you As so you can be happy stay in the college. It is not a challenged at all.
Tips for prospective students If you want to go and be a excellent professional: a. buy your own books and learn by your own, because many professors do nothing. b. If you are a weird-anime-lover kid, maybe you are going to love this school, my tip for you is grow up and be an adult. c. Don't get absences and you will receive an easy A doesn't matter how mediocre you works are!
In three sentences The majority of the professors are so mediocre, they don't want to teach anything, they just want money. If you find two good professors, is going to be almost a miracle. Please, go elsewhere and receive a nice education, not a degree without even learn a thing.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The college is safe but Puerto Rico is not at all times.
Clubs and Activities No clubs.
Great for these types of students Students that like it easy. Mentally challenged, because you just notice people with mental problems and what they smoke.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They celebrate any kind of holidays. They celebrate anything, really.
Bang for the buck Around 6,600 dollars cover your year. It's a lot for a place where you can barely find a job.
What to do for fun There is nothing around to have fun with. Or time.
Food and Dining It has a café in it but you only have 15 minutes between 2 hour periods.
Dorm Life It has no housing. You should rent a house if you live far. Good luck finding housing.
Academic Rigor NO CHALLENGE.
Tips for prospective students Prospective students should consider studying at night if they take their career serious.
In three sentences Atlantic College is up to date technologically. Half of the teachers are bad. It is small and full.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus is 100% safe. A lot of police supervision around, school has maximun security system and guards.
Clubs and Activities Conferences going on all the time. Contests, bazaars, expos and a lot more.
Great for these types of students For students interested in graphic design, digital photography, animation, digital cinematography, video game design and business administration.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The school participates in the annual Comic Con Expo. Annually bazaars, a lot of visits from big graphic designers.
Bang for the buck Very economic tuition. I totally recommend it!
What to do for fun The mall is near by, the theater and movies are also near by. Some clubs and bars around. Not far away from San Juan.
Food and Dining You have a lot of options around to choose. From cafeterias, to fast foods, to even donuts.
Dorm Life Although the campus doesn't have any dorms, there are some apartment complex around that are nice looking and with a few roommates, not that expensive. The post office is almost next to the campus.
Academic Rigor Best classes. Best professors. Best school.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared to work hard and learn a lot. Enjoy your college experience.
In three sentences Atlantic University College is a modern school, with the best hardware and software. The professors are up to date with the field. Is the best graphic design school in the Caribbeans.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Considering it's in a place where there's a lot of public traffic, it's pretty safe.
Greek Life None
Clubs and Activities Little shops are set up every now and then selling different items.
Great for these types of students People looking for a affordable institution which teaches art and photography.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Every Halloween the institution cancels classes has a little get together with whoever wishes to attend. People dress up and candy is handed out.
Bang for the buck For how little you pay compared to institutions in the U'S? It's worth all of it if you're after a degree in art or photography.
What to do for fun The closest entertainment you can find is a museum.
Food and Dining It's very close to fast food restaurants like Mac Donald's.
Dorm Life If it does have one, I know nothing of it. Again, it is a very local college which I would recommend only to local residents.
Academic Rigor While the classes focused on art are perfect, general courses like math leave a lot to be desired.
Tips for prospective students If you want to further your knowledge on anything related to art or photography, it is not a bad choice to go if you are a resident of Puerto Rico. Other than that, I'd stick to places known well by the public.
In three sentences Atlantic University College has excellent teachers, all know exactly what they are doing. The college itself promotes how everyone in the staff works to make an environment where everyone treats each other like family, they have succeeded in doing this. I'm not happy at all with the student body, many go there with the wrong attitude and mindset to study for a professional career.
