Answer 3

First of all, which campus are you going to attend?

Assuming that you are going to attend "Main Campus" also Known as "Metro Campus" you should get residence in Rio Piedras. I can't recommend you any apartment near to this University because I don't feel that this area is a good one. My advice call the University, explain your situation to see if they have some housing. If not I recommend you to look another area such as near to the UPR and Auxilio Mutuo Hospital these are better areas of Rio Piedras. Try to get a car, In PR using buses are not so common. You should get a car!

Answer 4

The Inter American University Metro Campus is by Road #1 that is from Rio Piedras to Caguas but in the Cupey area. Right by the University is the new Tren Urbano or the Urban Train that runs from Stop 26 Sacred Heart Station to Bayamon. The stop for the Inter American is as stop "Cupey". All you do is take the train get off and there you are. If you go to this University and you use the train, then with your university ID you ride the train free. Yes, free for all those students of the InterAmerican Metro Campus. When I go to the State Comp. Office the Campus is on the way just 2 bus stops before. You can also take from Rio Piedras either bus C31 or 29. Either one leaves you at the bus stop right on the corner across from the campus. Now, the campus is in the Cupey area. You can check for apartment in San Francisco which is just a 2 block away distance, also Urbanization La Riviera which is right at San Francisco also. I know these areas and I used to walk through these areas to walk to work in the morning and at night with no problems at all. To be sincer, I have not noticed if they have dorms, but it does not hurt to call or check thier web. The main phone number is 1-787-250-1912 and admissions is 1-787-765-1270 . The Director is Lisette Rivera Ortiz at 1-787-759-7958 ext. 2223 or 3223. Her email is [e-mail]. As for apartments you can check clasificadosonline.com which is the Puerto Rico Bilingual web site for searching for homes, apartmens, cars, jobs everything. Just log on and select rent, then select the type of place you want, then the price range and then the area. When is opens you will see a list of places and many will have photos and of course there will be names of the owners and the prices and their phone number.

Best of wishes.
