A university known for its lack of discipline, where they only clean if the rector is visiting and the staff pressures you to buy raffle tickets for bags or perfume if you need a favor. Students spend more time hanging out at the colmado (a local grocery store that doubles as a social hub and bar) or the pool hall than in class, and the professors barely show up, often cutting short the few classes they actually attend. (UTESA is a large private university in the Dominican Republic often stereotyped for this environment).
Class, we are leaving early today because... I do not know, just leave and do not come on Friday because I will be traveling.
A university jokingly mocked for its low academic standards, where even the honors students supposedly cannot spell basic words. (Note: UTESA is a private university in the Dominican Republic commonly used as the punchline for jokes about poor education).
A: Let's go hunt for some hoes at UTESA. B: Hell yeah.
A university often seen as a fashion show for showing off fancy clothes and shoes. It is known for students who act pretentious by listening to music in English while secretly wanting to blast street merengue. It is considered a middle ground: not as snobby as the elite Puca, but not as tacky as the public UASD. (UTESA is a private university in the Dominican Republic. Puca refers to PUCMM, the elite university, and UASD is the public university. Anthony's is a well-known local department store.)
A: Are you going to uni today? B: Ugh, no, like, I cannot wear the same pair of jeans twice in the same week. I am going shopping today and I will go to class tomorrow.
Better known as the Santiago Institute of Technology, this is a school where students do never-ending experiments and professors work you to the bone with heavy course loads. It is where spoiled rich kids study, though there are also students on scholarship. Lately, UTESA has been getting tougher, following in the footsteps of INTEC. Its main rivals are PUCMM and INTEC (UTESA, INTEC, and PUCMM are all prominent private universities in the Dominican Republic).
A university where status symbols like luxury SUVs are more common than academic focus. It is the kind of place where if you ask a classmate what happened in the lecture you missed, they will just stare at the sky because they were not paying attention. (UTESA is a major private university in the Dominican Republic often stereotyped for its social atmosphere and distracted students).
A: Hey man, what did they teach in UTESA yesterday? B: What? A: I said, what did they cover yesterday? B: Nothing, we all left, the professor did not show up. (Truth is there was a class but he did not pay attention, or he was there but busy checking out a girl).
Refers to a university run for endless profit. It is packed with luxury cars and students destined to suffer. The staff consists of frustrated professors who want you to either drop the course or fail. The students are either spoiled rich kids or people living on student loans. It is known as the university that gives the most exams in the entire country. (UTESA is a large private university in the Dominican Republic often mocked for its high costs and academic pressure).
A university where women treat the campus like a fashion runway, wearing massive heels every day in case they go out partying (referring to the campus on Maximo Gomez avenue in Santo Domingo). If you go to the San Carlos branch, watch out because it is full of thieves who do not even respect broad daylight. In the Herrera campus, you find the medical students who never stop, working from 7 AM to 6 PM. Those people are real slaves to the grind.
Hey girl, do not enroll at the San Carlos UTESA. Why? They will even steal your panties!
A university where passing a subject requires paying for a mandatory workshop costing 1,000 or 1,500 pesos. It would be fine if the workshop were actually useful, but it is a total waste of time that lasts from 9 to 12 and teaches nothing but nonsense. (UTESA is a large private university in the Dominican Republic often criticized by students for these mandatory, paid seminars).
A university whose name is jokingly modified depending on the class schedule to insult the students: the afternoon version plays on the word for stupid (bruto) and the evening version plays on the word for whore (puta). (UTESA refers to the Universidad Tecnologica de Santiago).
In the morning: UTESA. In the afternoon: BRUTESA. In the evening: PUTESA.
One of the country's most prestigious universities, a great place to study and learn. Its motto is Saber es vivir, which translates to to know is to live. (UTESA is the Technological University of Santiago, one of the largest private university systems in the Dominican Republic).
Leidy: Sis, which university did you sign up for? Anny: At UTESA. Leidy: Wow, that is cool.
A term for someone who studies at the Technological University of Santiago. It is frequently used as a phonetic play on the phrase usted es (you are), because the name of the university sounds like the beginning of that phrase in Dominican Spanish. (UTESA is one of the largest private universities in the Dominican Republic).
Better known as Santiago Tech, it is the sister school to INTEC in Santo Domingo. It is a place where math is the main focus, where trendy preppies meet up to show off their style, and the professors are eccentric scientists. (UTESA is the Technological University of Santiago in the Dominican Republic).
A university where students choose to enroll of their own free will and others are envious of them. It is a place where cleanliness is a priority and graduates find job opportunities more easily. It is where students show who they really are and what they want to be without having to show off with things that belong to others. (UTESA refers to the Universidad Tecnologica de Santiago, a private university often defended by its community against social stereotypes from more elite schools).
the Universidad Tecnologica de Santiago (UTESA) is the best.
A fashion runway and a showcase for fancy clothes, shoes, and bags. It is also one of the top six universities in the country (Dominican Republic) where show-offs and phonies enroll supposedly to study. It is academically very good, but socially the hottest girl is labeled a slut and the richest guy is the biggest arrogant asshole. Its main rival is the university PUCMM (mocked here as Putamaima, a vulgar play on the school's name).
A: Where are you going looking so fancy?
B: To UTESA.
A: I thought you were going to see the president.
It is where the coolest hangouts happen, one of the best in the country. Plus, the law school girls there mostly act like they are all that, but the place is very good (A private university in the Dominican Republic).
Where are you going? To UTESA? Yeah, see you there.
A university that only gets a coat of paint when there is an inspection, where professors show up to class whenever they feel like it, and where 98 percent of the women go just to show off (UTESA is a private university in the Dominican Republic: this definition reflects local stereotypes about its superficiality).
One of the most expensive universities, where you are forced to do the weirdest experiments and the professors just want to flunk everyone. The students are totally antisocial. It is similar to INTEC (these are private universities in the Dominican Republic).
Laura: I do not know if I should enroll in UTESA or PUCMM. Andrea: Girl, you do not like to study, if you go to UTESA you will die with all the classes they have there, go to PUCMM so you can take it easy. Laura: Yeah, that is true.
Technological University of Santiago. It is one of the best and where decent people go to study. Riiight. (Note: UTESA is a prominent private university in the Dominican Republic).
