At first I thought this was the school for me, but I now recommend students try and transfer because your money can be spent better elsewhere. Campus life is limited by the many rules and regulations UPJ enforces, especially Greek life which is slowly declining. Parking on campus is very limited, especially when Campus Police spend most of their time writing tickets. Speaking of campus police, during fire alarms don't expect them to show up for at least 10 minutes to turn it off. Especially during the dead of winter your better off standing inside unless you want to freeze to death waiting for them. Campus life complaints go on forever, but whats unfortunate is the academic opportunities. Most of my career has been spent in many bio and chem labs, and its unfortunate how much students spend for such a poor education. Equipment is limited and outdated. One of my chem labs required the use of micro pipettes which at most schools are readily available for students, but we had one to share among a class of 20. And outside resources are not much better considering our library has less hours than the gym. My positive experiences were found with the faculty, which many were great teachers and mentors.
