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.

There are quite a few shy people in nursing but at the same time there are quite a few big personalities. But I think everyone is so welcoming so you should not have a problem at all.

Yes I went and I decided to run as a vocal. I can't name names on this board but all the people that were voted into positions are listed in the courtyard of the nursing building on a large easel.

I am going to try to go to your class tomorrow to solicit members for the nursing association. I know your class is so large you guys were divided in two groups of 50. I think this is the first year that the English accelerated program is larger than the English non accelerated program. Do you have prof "J" tomorrow or the other prof for Fundamentals at 8 PM

The clubs are good ways to meet people. I am an officer in the Intercultural Association as well and we have fun cultural field trips around the island that the school pays for.

Hey! For my Fundamentals at 8pm I have Professor C. We actually start at 8:15pm because our Pharmacology class ends at 7:55pm so she gave us time for a small break after Pharm. She's the one with like blondish/brownish hair? From 3-10pm i'm in the same exact room since Pharm is at 6pm and Basic Principles is from 3-5:30pm! argh! I think i'm going to know every crack and crevice of that room by the end of that trimester! lol. and yah, hopefully you'll be able to make it to my Fundamentals @ 8:15pm to recruit more people...BUT i will warn you, we have a test today. So hopefully you are able to make it before or after we start our class kuz she might not be too happy. lol.

And by the way, do you think I will be able to turn in my form and fees to you if you do come in today?? I want to turn that in as soon as possible or else I might forget :( and I have cash on me today (which is very RARE). I usually only use the plastic. lol.

By the way, people in the olden years used to call me Step-On-Me or Stefunny (just a hint so you kan know my real name). lol

If you have an exam I won't go then. I certainly don't want to interfere on the day of an exam. Amongst all the officers we'll make sure everyone gets signed up.

You guys have a ton of new teachers by the way. I guess because your class is so large they needed to hire more. I know the teachers teaching the other half of your class but not yours. And they are even doing the schedule a little different if you have Basics on Th. Usually all Basics classes are on Tues. I am sure Thursadays are long for you but at least you have Tues off.

By the way it is only 6 USD for the year for each of the clubs.

Can you try to find another one? It is not like you are registered for it. In the past it was part of registration and it cost another unit. This was before my time. That is a waste to go to school in the middle of the day for 2 hours. You should be able to switch to another time slot if there are less than 10 people.

By the way what street are you on in Las Cumbres? And do you live in La Cumbre I?

Well I spoke with the one who handles all of it...she's at the end of the nursing department on the left, first name initials are A.M. Initially she said I could not switch because of whatever reason. Maybe i'll try asking her again. Kuz yah, its in the middle of the day and its a bummer. As for Las Cumbres, i'm not sure if I live in La Cumbre I???????? i think I do????? lol sorry! As soon as you walk into Las Cumbres from school, its like the second block on the left where you can turn in to which is Calle Robles. I "technically" live on Calle Robles because thats the address, but the landlord made the house into a bunch of little studios so I actually live on the street behind calle robles. like i said though, since the property is considered on calle robles thats technically my address. Its hard to explain. Right in front of my little studio is a little park with a little playground and stuff. Not sure if you know what i'm talking about. lol. I live with my lover boy :)

Quick question how much do you as students pay for rent how much did it cost to ship your goods and car there. I'm not to worry about financial aid since I will have my g.i bill from the military. Do you think it will be reasonable to find a place for $500 month security gated community? Also that christan class will a bible class work also did all of u guys take spanish 1 and 2 before applying how long did it take to look at transripts?

I looked into a few places and it seems to cost about $1000 (or just under) to ship a car from the East coast. I heard taxes are a killer though. I think the taxes are based on the value of the car. One guy said some cars have 2-3k in taxes alone. So it may be better just to get a vehicle there.

For a Studio with Electricity and Water in La Cumbre (which is a short talk to school to Interamericana) only costs me $395.00. and La Cumbre is in a gated community. But, as I was told before, the gated communities here are not what you will be used to back in the states. yet, its very safe I actually really like my studio and my neighborhood. Its really quiet and being that I am a girl, I feel safe living there and walking at night to and from.

I'm also interested in a gated community close to the school. Are places like this readily available, or are they hard to find? That sounds like a great deal!

You are close to where I used to live. I used to live on Calle Montebello but the same senario. The actual apartment was on Calle Las Lomas.

I would talk to Miss Y up front. And if you are available and it is available get the Wed class from 5 PM to 7:30. The tutor is awesome. She is in my class and is a very good student.

I met a guy last weekend that just started the accelerated program and he shipped his Scion xB from AZ. He said with taxes it cost 3,700 USD to ship here. I thought he was insane but he said he will make the money back when he sells it. Cars here are extremely expensive because import taxes are so expensive. He figured he will make the money back when he sells it. I thought it was quite silly.

next to school. There are ALWAYS places to rent here. I think La Cumbre I is the best.

A ton of students live in La Cumbre. And there are 4 of them right next to school. There are ALWAYS places to rent here. I think La Cumbre I is the best. It is the closest to school and I think a tab bit nicer than the others. But the others are only 1/4 to 1/2 a mile from La Cumbre I.

395 sounds ultra cheap. Most people I know pay around 500 with utilities included but of course you can always hunt to find cheaper.

Hey guys, when does registration open for next trimester?

Hey guys, when does registration open for next trimester?

It really varies. But it is always a week or two or three BEFORE the nursing dept says it is. No one really knows and then all of a sudden everyone is registering. It seems like it is about half way through the previous trimester.
