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.

Both are accredited but inter metro associates program is not .

Where can I have information on their accreditation? Are they on the websites?? What is the difference betwen Interamericana and UMET?? Which has better feedback?

There's the same. Metro is a campus of Interamerican University of PR.

Read some of the posts about 20 pages back to get a better idea. Good luck.

Interamericana and UMET are not the same.

Isis did u ever get ur acceptance letter?....

I've been keeping up with this thread for awhile, since I started researching schools in PR, and I'm wondering how it's going for all of you who started the program in August. I've been in contact with "E", though I have not applied yet, and he assures me that I would be able to start in Nov. 2010 or Feb. 2011.

As far as I'm aware the Interamerica Metro Accelerated Program (2 years) only starts in August of each year, the regular (3 years) seems to be a lot more flexible as far as start times.

Just be aware there is a wide range in the quality of professors and expect to do some self-studying on your own to pass the NCLEX.

Also, anyone who is seriously considering either Metropolitan University or Interamerica should visit the island first, they may use the dollar here but this is NOT the US.

I am already in PR and will be for the next three years, so I know I'm definitely not in Kansas anymore. I'm finding it difficult to get info from either of the two universities, but I'm slowly getting bits and pieces. I wish I spoke Spanish, as it would make everything MUCH easier. So far my husband and I have gotten lost every time we leave our house! The people have been nice and helpful for the most part but I definitely feel like an outsider. I'm just hoping to hear from people already in the program at either university to help me decide whether or not to even do it.

There are several of us in the Interamericana University nursing program on the forum so feel free to ask specific questions...

Can't speak about Metropolitan University, though...

Jeb, can you give me some insight on the school? Do you think you are getting a quality education? How are the teachers?? Is there a huge language barrier? Can I assume you are going to the Inter. metro english school??? I am really nervous about going because, well, its a different country. I dont want to get there and then find out that the school is bogus! Are the labs equipt with up to date like, scopes or whatever is needed in nursing schools??? I do plan on visiting PR soon but if you guys say that its not worth it kuz its out of date or its a bad school or whatever, then I will cancel. Please let me know if you can.

Also, this goes out to everyone else who's attending Interamerican Metro...do you guys like the school??? Is the school what they promised?

I have another question....I am going to at least start with the application process...but, i'm already confused! I already have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology. and want to go for the BSN accelerated program at metro inter campus....this is where i'm stuck http://admisiones.inter.edu/ which one do I choose? Do I choose undergraduate USA student? or Undergraduate transfer?!?! or??? I am confused! Please help me because my espanol is not good :( Also, i am on their page and am I applying for Admission or readmission...this page confuses me...Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico. Maybe its not a good idea afterall! How did you guys all figure it out without getting frustrated without knowing spanish??? I didnt know applying would be difficult. I hope its not this difficult at the school for classes.
