I'm an ex-alumni of The University of Puerto Rico- Rio Piedras Campus. I studied from 1995 thru 2001 and graduated with BBA/ Human Resources. The campus was well-maintained, faculty doesn't foster inbreeding which enhanced the educational challenge, and libraries were up-to-date. Also, there were many extra curricular activities, a competitive sports offers, choirs, fraternities, etc. There were always concerns about security inside and outside the campus specially late at night.
Well, what can I say? It has been my first year at this university and I love it. The Faculty of Natural Sciences has excellent professors that up to now have demonstrated a great domain of the topics discussed in class. The athletic department is full of talented students. The campus is big and beautiful, but still it could be better. I would like to see an improvement on the offer of food in the campus. Overall my satisfaction studying here has been so far excellent.
This university is ripe with opportunities, talented people, brilliant teachers and professors, resources and in many fields, cutting-edge research. However, it has lost much with the passage of time and Neoloberal administrations. It deserves better than the insane budget cuts and firing of staff they've been doing more and more of throughout the years.
