Anyone out there have info on the school in Arecibo, PR? It is a 24 month program that begins in August.

I'd love to hear anything, thanks.

Ok cool. Did you do this?

Oh and lastly how much total did the program cost (not including books)?

Thanks again. You have saved all of us hours of time and stress. :)

Almost everyone do it. You have to pay a graduation fee of $100 to apply for the ADN. That way the university review your records and give you the degree. Whiout that you cannot apply for the provitional license.

As for cost, without any general education courses is about $12,000. It's about $170 per credit plus the administrative fees that are nominal.

about books:

They give you a list when you get there. If you have a credit card with an address from the States you can buy them online and ship them to PR. It's the list expensive way.

I am new to this website and just found your thread through google. I have recently applied to IUPR (like last week) and now i'm totally freaked out that I won't be able to start in Aug 2010 as I would like to. Is it really that difficult to get information about acceptance? I am applying to the metro campus and I can't even seem to figure out where it is on the map, i've gotten so much conflicting information even on that simple task. Can someone tell me where the metro campus is located? This is where the English Trimester program is i'm assuming. If i'm wrong someone please clue me in! Thanks, and thank you to all the previous posters who have shared their experiences and information. I hope i'm not too late to get started in the August class.

Thanks!

Below is the link to the Google map in my maps. However in my maps there is a star where the actual school is. When I click on this link there is no star but it gives you an idea anyway.

Those maps are kinda useless here in Puerto Rico. When I go, I usually take #1 from Caguas and it's on the right-hand side, right after you pass a Toyota dealership on your right and an Econo on the left. As soon as you see the Econo (it's a grocery store) you take the next "exit" on the right. You just kinda merge, it's not a hard right.

You can also take the expressway, Expreso Las Americas or "PR-52." I'm not sure of the exit number though, sorry! But, you can see the school from the expressway. And they have a big tower that sticks out pretty tall, so that can help you a bit. Maybe PR NURSE can come in and tell us the exit number. I don't usually pay attention to the numbers, I just know when to exit. And I'll ask my hubby when he wakes up if he pays attention to the number. It's hard to give directions here, and probably even harder to find anything since a lot of street signs are just non-existent.

Wow, thanks so much PR Nurse, we really appreciate you taking the time to inform us. Best of luck to you!

I'm starting in August and I'd like to start looking for a roommate. If anyone on here is interested in sharing a house or apartment let me know! I hear homes can be rented in the 500 to 800 dollar range. I have a super cool yellow lab that I'd like to bring with me If I can be sure he will be safe. He's basically like Marley from Marley and Me but without all those serious behavioral issues lol. I'm a guy here, I'm easy going for the most part. Into cars, sports, and tech stuff. I have an interesting medical background as well if any of you have questions feel free to ask via PM or if you are looking for a roomie as well post to this thread and we can share information and tips!

Look forward to meeting everyone who is starting in August!

I would also like to find a roomate or two and prefer to live with males, gay or straight, just prefer males. I would like to be close to school. Yeah the beach would be nice but too expensive and too far from school.

I am in my 30's and would like roomates that span from mid 20's to mid 40's. I am into yoga and Burning Man type stuff. I am not super clean. I keep the common areas clean but I am no means a neat freak. This is probably why I prefer males. In fact I would like to hire a once a week maid if others are up for it.

I am hoping to go out first or second week in June to look for a place but I don't speak more than 5 words of Spanish.

Feel free to PM me with additional questions.

labsrock you have mail.

Just curious, has anyone received their acceptance letter yet?

I'll be down there in July. Maybe studio, maybe room ate, but I need to live near the beach... :)

Mike are you planning to come in July and then just stay? You are not planning to do a house hunting trip before hand?

I would love to live near the beach but it is the most expensive. Although I am using Craiglist which is not a great resource in PR. I used the other one that designer mommy mentioned but there is good search features and a lot of people don't post photos. Well I have not serious house hunting as it is too early.

The school hasn't sent an official letter yet, they are still reviewing transcripts it seems. I think with all that has been said about traffic in the area it would be a good idea to live close to the school. I don't need to have high blood pressure just trying to get to class every day hahaha. Realistically speaking, someone could go to the beach on the weekends if that is a priority for them. It appears I need to increase my post count before I can receive instant messages on here.
