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.

I totally agree with the others, I have never heard of Inter turning anyone away, and if you have a BS you are guaranteed to get into the 2 year program, everyone does. Like the others said, its unlikely to get ahold of someone over the phone who can really help. Just show up a week before classes start and go to admissions in person. Thats what myself and some others have done. It can be very different and frustrating how they o things here, but it always works out ok in the end!

I got accepted into the Interamericana Metro. I will be starting in August. I was told that I would have to attend orientation on Friday June 3, 2011. Is there any way that I can register for classes online. Do I have to go to the orientation?

You can register online for regular classes but not nursing courses. I never attended any orientations, regular or nursing. They never even told me when it was.

When is the last day to register for classes?!?!?!

Are you referring to Inter??? I was told that my orientation will be on June 3, 2011. I plan on moving to PR in July. What is the website where I can register online in English?

I always go to web.inter.edu that's where I signed up for summer courses then I paid for them at the school. If you need more help let me know.

Thanks for the respond. After I sign up for classes do I have to pay right away or will financial Aid cover it??? I qualified for the pell grant. When I attended classes here in Florida, I would sign up for classes and have them deferred until Financial Aid covers them. Will I have to pay out of pocket, then be reimbursed from Financial Aid?

Another question, are you currently attended Inter?

Regarding the orientation, you don't have to attend!! and you try to register online for ALL classes all you need to do in go to interweb and you will need ur ID which if you got an acceptance letter it should be on the, the password is ur date of birth. We have been able to register online even for the nursing classes you can try but if not they will let you register even the first day of school.

I had to pay out of pocket until Financial Aid covers it then get reimbursed. I'm from FL too and I never had to pay out of pocket unless I didn't complete my financial aid file on time (happened once). They're a little slow on FA (inter) so I didn't want to risk being dropped. I am attending the Inter at the moment.

When is the last day to sign up for classes???? If I sign up in July, will all the classes I need be gone??? I hope and plan to be full-time while i'm there.

Is anybody possibly looking for roommates?? 24.female here in kase you need to know to see if i'll be a good suite as a roomie :D

So, if Metropolitan University doesnt have an accelerated bsn, how long does it take to get the bsn there and how much does it cost?stethescope.pnganatomy.pngpill_bottle.png

Jen, Midwest, and Jeb, thanks for the replies. I managed to speak with someone on the phone who told me they definitely received my transcripts and perhaps the copy of my social (mailed in the same envelope). So I'm somewhat in their system I guess. I can sense their very laid back approach. It sounds like I just need to show up in PR and take care of everything when I'm there. Jeb, If I showed up say July 20 would that be ample time to take care of everything? I would like to make a smooth transition into PR (in no particular order): getting a cheap car, finding a place, securing financial aid. I don't have a lot of money so to me these seem like the biggest hurdles/adventures. Does anyone know of people in the program without a car at first? Or do people car pool? Also, Jeb, the place you are staying that is 275/month, did you luck out or would I be able to find something in that range? Also, if anyone surfs I'm looking to do that as much as possible and still pull top grades so hit me up. Thanks
