The University of Puerto Rico, specifically the Mayagüez campus, is the cradle of engineering in Puerto Rico, for this it does not come without its disadvantages. Over time it has become a university where professors do not take enough care of their students. It has become a self-teaching process. Despite the fact that I am very proud to have the opportunity to be a product of the public university of Puerto Rico; I think that there are currently other alternatives, the price of tuition has increased exponentially over the last few years, so much so that in a few more years there will be no difference between the cost of tuition at public universities compared to universities private. Being here has become a financial burden and so I can't wait to graduate.
The University of Puerto Rico- Mayagüez is one of the best colleges in Puerto Rico. It is known for its amazing engineering and agriculture undergraduate programs; however, it has a variety of other programs such as fine arts, philosophy, and literature. As a student who was in the humanities department, my perspective is a little different. I studied in one of the most overlooked programs, fine arts, which I think has a lot of potential. The professors are very professional and offer theory courses that are very complete, with the mission of giving students a historical background to interpret works of art. There are also studio courses that give the skill set to learn the basics of the art-making and creative process. However, not everything is perfect. The course selection is a very difficult process that takes days and has every student on the verge of a mental breakdown. Additionally, the campus is a little obsolete and desperately needs restoration.
This university of PR at Mayaguez was initially the College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (CAAM). It was for decades the only institution in Puerto Rico teaching engineering and agriculture. My entrance at this university was considered an honor since only two students from my senior class were accepted. Both of us had a GPA of 4.0 so the competition to get in and get a seat was tough. Mayaguez is hard for students that lack a strong math base. Many will struggle and quit even before their first year is over. However, those that meet the challenge and fully dedicate their time to study will gain not just a degree but a very high standing for getting their first job. The engineering program is a long 5-year program full of challenges. It is still considered the university that attract the best talents that cannot afford to travel abroad for an equivalent education.
