Study abroad in Puerto Rico?

[Nick]

Hi,

I am an international business student and think about spending one year at the university of puerto rico / rio piedras.
Has anyone been to UPR and can tell me something about it?
Are the Business/Economic Courses at a decent level?

Im also very interested in housing, transport and food costs:

How much do you need to pay for a flat in San juan. I would prefer living in a shared flat with other students. Can you tell me a good website where i can find flats?

Should i buy a car in san juan or is the public transport system efficient?

How much do i need to calculate for food? is it the same as in the US?

i hope someone can answer my questions
thanks in advance
Nick

Hello. Studying in Puerto Rico is a great idea. PR is a nice place to spend time. Do you speak any spanish?? UPR is a great school but most classes are in spanish. If you want english courses I suggest InterAmerican University also in Rio Piedras. Here we dont say Flats do that will sound wierd to people. You can rent a casa(house) or an apartamento/condo or maybe you can stay in a dorm with students. Rio Piedras isnt the best part of San Juan but it has good parts near the University. Food is about the same price as in the US. San Juan has transportation, outside San Juan does not really have any. Please look below for rentals. GOODLUCK!
