Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo - UASD (reviews)

This university is the oldest in the Americas, and tuition is very low per semester. I recommend it because the degree is recognized worldwide. However, it does have some visual pollution and infrastructure issues.

I love the campus and the classes are great, but the professors are a little hostile, which leads to us being a little distant from the learning process since we don’t fully connect with the professor and it becomes a little uncomfortable.

Highlights that stand out to me:
_•_Flexible Learning Model: The university’s blend of in-person and online classes allows students to study while working or handling other responsibilities—probably the most “chill” approach to getting a degree. “You only go once a week, and you can use the rest of your time to prepare or work in the field.” 
_•_Inclusive and Accessible: Many reviews praise its adaptability and support for students from varied backgrounds. One review describes UNICARIBE as “an excellent option of study with a great semi-presential plan, which means that everything depends on the student’s willingness to learn and improve every day.
