Overall its a university with great professors and a lot of history relating to the culture of Puerto Rico. Its facilities could use some improvements and fixing its amenities, but I love how open the campus is and how easy one can walk from faculty to library, to food places. Every day one can expect to see groups of students gathered someplace playing music, selling food, studying in libraries, or filling up the halls with chatter. This makes for a school with a very lively atmosphere, a unique mix of Puerto Rican culture from all regions of the island. Unfortunately a few of its dorms have been closed indefinitely and its tuition has been rising, which limits how accessible it is to students with financial needs. However, to those who can attend, they will find themselves well-prepared for their future plans, and if they get involved in the student life, they will walk away with many precious memories and new friends!
Third year student here! lovely experience, lovely people, great minds. Truly a very different experience from other universities in Puerto Rico. Theres no other university that offers the same quality of education at the same price. Beautiful historic site full of diverse people and amazing minds. The biggest difference it's the focus on the students life rather than the students major. You will learn more than just what you need to graduate and it's very much worth the trouble. It's not easy but it's rewarding. The opportunities gained are worth all the stress.
Due to the pandemic, the majority of my classes shifted to an online format, consisting of presentations, videoconferences, homework, research, and readings. Some professors have adapted excellently to this format, but others have not despite receiving some training. Personally, I do not favor the online format, as I have an easier time learning via personal meetings with classmates and professors, which is not possible at this time. Overall the online experience is not for me, but it has worked decently given our resources and limited time to learn the new format.
