    Please, please, please don't get a scooter! Trust me on this one. I've lived here for years, and I would never recommend that anyone drive a scooter here. I don't know where you're driving that people...

    Yeah, "Y" is the one you want to talk to--she's awesome! She seems kind of um...snotty on the phone, but she is really sweet in person, and she's really funny too

    Oh, and as far as hotels, I'm not too sure. Here isn't like in the states where there is a hotel/motel around every corner. They are very scarce here, except for in the tourist spots, of course. San...

    LOL I just got my THIRD acceptance letter today, and I'm going to have a fourth in a few weeks because I have to change my start date again. Don't worry about that orientation date. Mine said the 22nd...

    Wow, the hepatitis B shots are spread out that much?! My hubby needs to get his done ASAP then if he's going to do the accelerated program. That would stink if he couldn't get in because of that,...

    That's not necessarily true. Here we have what is called la reforma, which is basically Medicaid. Maybe that's what he's talking about? When you have that, you don't get a gold card like in the...

    I believe the June session starts on June 1st and goes through the 30th, something like that. The July is from the 1st to the 23rd, I believe. You can only take 7 credit hours each month--any more...

    Blah, I think I'm going to give up on the accelerated program. I went to registration to change my start date last night, and they told us it would take about a week. Yes, a week just to change a...

    Thanks Mike! I'm already in and I've already talked to the assistant nursing director who said that my GPA is fine, but I have to worry about the dean letting me take more than the 7 credit hours that...

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Don't worry about not going to the thing on the 22nd, Mike. I have gotten that letter twice and have never went LOL The reason I've gotten it two times is because I had to change my "start date" there...

    You have to take 3 Spanish classes, but they shouldn't be hard at all. I took 3 years in high school, and then a semester in college. I'm working on my way to becoming fluent now. There are still some...

    They transferred my statistics class over, which counted as the math that we need. Also, I got my Freshman Comp 1 & 2 transferred, so I just have to take English 3. As far as Spanish, I still need...

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I was going to try and squeeze a lot of classes in over the summer here, but they have a limit. She told me not to try it, and to choose a minor instead because I was worried about financial aid. I...

    No, he took all of his classes at IAUPR, so no transferring. I'm the lucky one who lost a ton of credits in the transfer process Imagine that, he's only been going for less than a year now and is...

    LOL You're right about them being in the office for about 20 minutes a day!!! It's rare to be able to catch someone when you first get to the school. Usually you're waiting for someone to get to work,...

    Awww man, I was afraid that the teal scrubs weren't for us! I bet we have to wear those horrid looking polyester white tops and skirts with white pantyhose and the little boat hat, don't we? Ohhh...

    For banks, we have Doral, WesternBank, First Bank and Banco Popular. I'm sure there are a few others, but those are our biggest banks down here. Banco Popular is probably the most widely used bank...
