The channel through which the country's rich bastards ensure power and wealth stay with their pampered kids. UNIBE is the backbone for the boutiques, electronic music parties, and upscale spots in neighborhoods like Piantini and Naco (exclusive districts in Santo Domingo). At this university, the hottest girl is the one who is the biggest slut, the blondest, and has the most money, while the hottest guy is the one who looks the most gay and has the most cash. Academically it is actually very good, but the majority of the students give it a bad reputation.
The Universidad Iberoamericana, where not everyone is a stuck-up asshole or has their own car, though some fathers enroll their daughters there just to find wealthy husbands; it is a very cool school where people actually listen to El Lapiz (Cultural note: UNIBE is a prestigious private university in Santo Domingo often associated with the upper class, and El Lapiz refers to the popular rapper El Lapiz Conciente).
A university (Universidad Iberoamericana) full of hot foreigners and Dominican girls who think they are hot shit because they have moño bueno (straight or relaxed hair, often a status symbol). The school charges an arm and a leg every semester. You have to keep your eyes open because even the ugliest guys act flamboyant sometimes, and the most serious girls get wild after two shots of Brugal (a famous Dominican rum). It is a judgmental place where you are an outcast if you do not wear different trendy clothes every day. If you are there on a scholarship, you are screwed: you cannot afford to eat and you have to work like a dog to keep your grades because you do not have rich parents to bribe the professors.
A joke of a university where classes are done on laptops and where the snobbiest, wealthiest people in the capital congregate. It is a place for rich girls who own Yorkies and Jettas and have posh tastes, people who would rather listen to Paris Hilton than local street rap like El Lapiz. But hey, you can learn anywhere. (UNIBE is a high-cost private university in Santo Domingo; El Lapiz Conciente is a famous Dominican urban artist known for gritty lyrics).
The university located in Gazcue, better known as UNI BONCHE. (Bonche is Dominican slang for a party or hang out).
A prestigious private university where many students listen to mainstream EDM like David Guetta to fit in, even though they secretly prefer local street rappers like El Lapiz and Monkey Black. (UNIBE is a private university in the Dominican Republic known for its wealthy student body).
Hi, where do you study? At UNIBE. Oh, so you have money, girl. Yeah, tons. Should I buy you a Moet? No, better get a Brugal, man.
UNIBE is the Universidad Iberoamericana, a top-tier private university in Santo Domingo. Since it is very expensive, it has a reputation for being the most stuck-up school. It is often mockingly called Unibonche (from bonche, meaning party) by critics who claim it is not academically rigorous, and it carries stereotypes about its wealthy male students being flashy or players. While seen as an elitist hub, the student body also includes less wealthy students.
The Universidad Iberoamericana. While often mocked as Unibonche (a play on the word bonche, meaning party) by those who believe the nonsense that the best schools are the ones where you struggle the most, its students consider it the top university in the Dominican Republic. It is known for high-end facilities like air-conditioned classrooms and modern tech that other local schools lack. Although widely viewed as an elitist school for rich kids, students defend it as a high-quality institution that is less snobby than its rival PUCMM and accessible to others through scholarships. (Note: UNIBE is a prestigious private university in Santo Domingo often contrasted with the public university UASD).
- Bro, what uni do you go to?
- At UNIBE.
- Man, you must have a ton of cash.
- No, no way! I have a full scholarship.
- And you do not feel out of place among so many stuck-up snobs?
- Not at all, I feel like everyone else, everyone there minds their own business and they do not go around judging you.
- Damn! I wish I studied there!
The Iberoamerican University, a private institution in Santo Domingo. It is often nicknamed UNIBONCHE, a play on the word 'bonche' (party), because students are frequently featured in socialite and nightlife media like Flow, Uepa, or Bufeo. While it has a reputation for being a school for wealthy students, it is academically rigorous, dismisses students for poor grades, and requires as much effort as other major institutions like the UASD or PUCMM (the country's main public and private universities respectively).
