What Students Are Saying

There are many options: fast food, warm heavy meals, light meals, vegetarian meals, you name it! There are also small cafe's in which you can stop for a quick snack or to have a coffee with a friend or a professor.
Paola from Puerto Rico
I gave a 5 for food and dining since there are many places to choose where to eat, and most are near the university. If you wish you can go by foot or drive.

Theres a centro de estudiantes on site where there a variety of food choices. Also almost every faculty building has a small cafeteria and he University avenue has a variety of food choices.
Gustavo from Gurabo, PR
The food is mainly fast food, but very close by (outside the university) there are many places that are much better. Most of the time i bring my own lunch, and the professors and student associations provide microwaves for reheating. There is a vast variation of places to eat from Burger King, to Sub Way, to affordable restaurants all in the area.
