What Students Are Saying

Take classes from all faculties, the knowledge you will acquire will be most satisfying and variant. Sometimes the toughest professors are the ones you will learn the most from. Enjoy the beauty of the campus, learn from the brilliant professors and open your mind to all the things they have to teach you.
Paola from Puerto Rico
If you are attending this university is recommended that you go in comfortable shoes because you have to walk a lot. Since the university is in a wet area and the rain is very common, so always walk with an umbrella in hand.

Its expected of all students to have a committed to their studies. With hard word come great benefits.
Gustavo from Gurabo, PR
Be emotionally prepared for the pressure do to the vast amount of material given; Also I recommend comfortable clothing. The professors are greatly prepared and if you are interested, and show it, they will appreciate it and show you gratitude for it. I believe every one should take classes from as much different faculties as possible, because it provides a vast enrichment, and I believe that the more variant your knowledge, the better prepared.
Paola from San Juan, PR
Be aware that you have to have a working knowledge of Spanish as almost all courses are given in that language (except English and foreign languages majors, of course). There's a decent population, however, of foreign students who study in the Natural Sciences faculty and I've noticed many of them don't know much Spanish. Still, if you want to get to know the locals, knowing Spanish definitely helps (although many Puerto Ricans in the metropolitan area DO know English).
