Hometown: I’m from city Aguadilla, Puerto Rico

Undergrad School: I studied my undergraduate at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Puerto Rico

What made you choose MUA: I choose MUA for 3 reasons, great curriculum that can compete with top universities in the Caribbean, more active in their classroom since there is no online you get that great one on one learning from your professor and amongst all the universities in the Caribbean it has the lowest cost and get same great education as other top universities.

What can you share about your experiences as an MUA student: My experience as an MUA student has been amazing. We got great doctors that help and guide you to improve your skills and better prepare you for new challenges that will come. The island gives you that focus that you need and the escape that relaxes you to continue studying. Overall it gives you experiences that you never forget.

What advice would you give to a new student considering to attend MUA: My advice that I will give to any student coming to MUA is to look at all they offer, you get hand in experience in anatomy that not a lot university offers anymore, lower cost to have the same preparation has other university but most important at MUA you experience great study environment where your professors and student will help you and guide you.
