Universidad de Puerto Rico - UPR (reviews)

As a student at University of Puerto Rico, i’ve found myself immersed in an environment that truly embraces openness and professionalism. The moment i stepped onto this institution I was struck by the sense of freedom and inclusivity that permeates every aspect of university life.

One of the most commendable aspects of University of Puerto Rico is its commitment to fostering an open and free atmosphere. Unlike many institutions, this one encourages students to explore their interest without constraint, allowing a truly enriching educational experience.

Furthermore, I’ve been impressed by then caliber of educators and staff. The professionals who guide us through our academic journey are not only knowledgeable in their respective fields but also deeply passionate about nurturing the next generation of leaders.

Overall, my experience at University of Puerto Rico, has been nothing but short of exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend University of Puerto Rico to anyone seeking a university experience that values professionalism.

Those who study at UPR end up having a love/ hate relationship with the institution. It is the only public university in Puerto Rico and therefore has very close ties to the government and all the pros and cons that come with that . However , it is a historic university known for creating the most brilliant minds in the island . The community in UPR( particularly the campus located in Aguadilla)is tight knit and the professors are able to have a great mentor relationship with their students given the small size of the classes . They have a food pantry for low income students , offer great scholarships, and have free tutoring available .The only thing I will criticize is the outdated system of enrolling for classes . Many students (including myself) have gotten full blown panic attacks because of how difficult and tedious it is to enroll for classes.

Aside from that , it is a great university known to be “for the people” . Anybody who attends feels like they are a part of the very important history of Puerto Rico .

Offers a great variety of programs within the Arts; Sciences; Agronomy and Engineering fields, among many others. It is located in the west side of the Island, its environment is really great! Educational programs are of great quality and very helpful in order to obtain great job opportunities!

When I graduated high school I was so lost.
I didn’t know what I wanted, so I just entered university as a plastic arts student while I found my way.
As I met new professors, explored the campus, and experienced eye opening courses, I found my place and transferred from a bachelors in plastic arts to a bachelors in the Arts: Program of Interdisciplinary Studies. The transfer in itself was simple, easy, and did not interfere with my classes.

The interdisciplinary program at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus is a great choice for students who want to mix academic disciplines without having to make a double degree.
I mixed classes from 3 departments and in the end graduate with a bachelors in Intercultural Communications and Modern Languages in exactly 4 years.
