Sophomore: First of all, what i liked the most is the empathy the professors have towards the students. They also try their best to encourage and help their students in their academic journey. For instance, i'm a french major, and thanks to my french professor i was able to study a semester abroad in Canada. I can say my professors were the ones who motivated me into taking that step out of my comfort zone. They also helped me with the necessary documents like for example, recommendation letters. Apart from that, there are also other opportunies for students of all majors like internships, scholarships, exchange programs, etc.... Read 693 reviews

Alum: The best college of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Each course helps you shape you as a human being and professional. I graduated from my bachelors from the School of Architecture after exploring and growing from other faculties. Majors offered at the UPR include: Medicine, Law, Architecture, Engineering, Drama, Business Management, Humanities, Psychology, and more. Students from the UPR are constantly solicited from demanding jobs, including NASA. During the past years, since the arrival of an imposed Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (FOMBPR), because of illegal actions carried out by government figures and the colonial status that holds PR back, the UPR has suffered significantly. Fund cuts are constant under the FOMBPR which are directly to healthcare rights and the island’s education system. Students, professors and alumni are constantly fighting back and expressing their resistance against this social dismantling.... Read 648 reviews

Junior: The amazing campus, my college students, the opportunity of students associations such as Asociación Círculo Literario Revolución Expresiva, all of my professors, the opportunities to apply for study abroad and internships, the multiple bachelors degrees anyone can apply is what I love most. I need to highlight that anyone can apply for a second mayor or minor which it is very convenient. On another hand, I suggest more transparency of the money administration. Even though we are barely surviving a pandemic, our University should open again for traditional classes which are not being offered at the time but the online ones.... Read 244 reviews

Senior: The University of Puerto Rico in Humacao is dedicated to the academic and professional growth of its students and faculty. My five-year journey there was instrumental in shaping my path toward graduate studies. The Department of Natural Sciences is particularly noteworthy, offering unique courses and exclusive bachelor's programs, such as Marine Biology, not found elsewhere on the island. However, there's room for improvement in maintaining the campus infrastructure. Despite this, the academic experience at UPRH is unparalleled. The professors are of high quality and knowledge, ready to academically prepare their students to acquire knowledge and excel in their graduate studies. While there could be more emphasis on sports, UPRH is recognized for its academic excellence and the quality of professionals it produces, contributing significantly to Puerto Rico's future workforce....
