University of Puerto Rico: Rio Piedras

College Search & Selection
1

<p>i'm currently a junior in high school and now that it's second semester i'm starting to seriously look at schools. i did a search on collegeboard.com for schools under $25,000 (total, tuition plus room and board) that offer spanish and mathematics as majors. i came across UPR rio piedras and was pleasantly surprised by both the price (16k total out of state) and academic standards (average SAT scores are decent). i knew somewhere there had to be a catch- my dad suggested the fact that only ten percent of undergrads live on campus. i did some google searches and i could barely find anything info on the school.</p>

<p>so to the point... has anybody attended the university of puerto rico at rio piedras? or know anything about it? maybe it's too good to be true... price, weather, etc...</p>

<p>the reason most people live outside of campus is because the students who attend are mostly puertorrican. UPR is a great school, yet most of the priviledged students choose to go to other schools depending on what they want to study.</p>

<p>If you’re trying to save money, maybe you should be looking for schools that will give you assured merit money for your stats? That would reduce your costs.</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>
