Cost Overview

Families at this small Puerto Rican university pay around $6,310 annually after aid, regardless of income level. That totals roughly $25,240 over four years. The sticker price of $5,966 barely budges since only 6% of students receive institutional grants averaging $3,107.

Most students graduate with $10,500 in debt, translating to $111 monthly payments. That's manageable against median earnings of $22,842 ten years out, though the 32% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle initially. Nearly 80% of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting the predominantly low-income student body.

The university serves Puerto Rico's working-class families exclusively, with 100% Hispanic enrollment and all students from in-state. Women, who make up 70% of enrollment, get the same deal as everyone else here. The real value lies in the small class sizes with an 11:1 student-faculty ratio at an affordable price point.
