Paola

The University of Puerto Rico in Arecibo is a great university. I have learned a lot in the short time that I've been here. The professors in the Communications department are amazing, they are pro-student and want us to learn and succeed, if we ever have a doubt they are always there to help and make sure we understand the material.

Victoria

It is the most inexpensive school in Puerto Rico but it has a lot of financial struggles. They take opportunities away from students who are trying to become professionals by raising credit costs and reducing economical help. In the academic aspect, it has its ups and downs. Some professor are excellent and they care for the students learning process but others barely go to there classes or move out of Puerto Rico because even for them it's not cost-efficient for them to work there. They lower there salaries while incrementing taxes. It is a very sad problem but we, the students. believe in our University ad what it can become for us. It has made a lot of professional throughout the years and we only hope it can continue to be the best.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I would say to apply for more scholarships to my high school self because even though I can afford my first year at The University of Wisconsin at Baraboo/Sauk County, I could have done a lot more to help pay for college. When I was in my senior year of high school, I was worry that I cannot afford college so I would also tell my young self not to worry so much about it so much. Plus, I tell myself that I made the right decision about going to a small college campus for my first two years of college instead of going to a large college campus like University of Wisconsin-Madison because it is so much easier to transite into college slowly instead of starting into a large campus right away.
