REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingLike most Puerto Rican colleges, UNE is very inexpensive compared to the US. The appearance and hygiene of the university is excellent. It is very well kept and the administration resources are great for students. Student activities are promoted regularly, but when it comes to financial help, the system is lacking in providing students with what they wish.
