Visit APEC, the globetrotting university of the Dominican Republic. Certified in modern behaviors and social icons like Snoop Dogg, it is the school with the most sexual diversity in the country. It offers flexibility through a unique evaluation system where you can graduate and then finish your remaining classes later, and where the party is right across from Gomez (Maximo Gomez Avenue in Santo Domingo). It is home to a wide variety of people including gays, queers, and smokers of all kinds. After 8 PM, there is a smoke show to help the students de-stress.
Cesar: Man, let's go make a copy. Ariel: You are crazy, I am not going to Building 1 even if I am killed, that place is full of queers. Cesar: Bro, that is nothing, they are cool, they will even do your homework for a little kiss.
The main public university in the Dominican Republic, known for being a place of extreme struggle and bureaucratic chaos. It is the school you refuse to attend when your parents can afford a private one, but insist on joining once they offer to make the sacrifice. It is characterized by endless lines, classes that are impossible to schedule, and teachers who vanish on sabbatical. Students often arrive exhausted and sweaty after commuting on an OMSA (a government-run public bus), yet those who manage to graduate after many years feel an immense sense of pride and toughness, treating their graduation ring as a lifetime badge of honor for having survived the ordeal.
FIRST semester: But honey, I told you if you wanted to study medicine at a private school... No mom, I want to go to the UASD, that is where the best doctors come from. FIFTH semester: I do not know what I am doing here, everyone told me not to step into this lion's den! FOURTEENTH semester: I am graduating by a total stroke of luck, but I learned a ton, I survived the struggle, I grew up, and no one is taking this ring off me... now it is time to go on strike with the hospital doctors!
A 'higher house of learning' located on Maximo Gomez (a major avenue in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) also known as APEC. It is a 'non-profit' institution. Since 2008, it has become a rat hole for cocolos (a term for descendants of West Indian immigrants), reggaeton heads, hoes, faggots, and the rest of the local fauna from Santo Domingo.
It is like a private high school but with more cars. If you arrive after 5 PM, finding parking is a total mess, and the cafeteria is always full. There is what they call Building 0 (a colmadon, which is a corner store that serves as a social hub and bar), and right next to it is Next, a liquor store. Building 1 is full of queers, lesbians, and crazy advertising students. If you want to find a good crew to hang out with, the best spot is in front of the cafeteria. (APEC is a private university in Santo Domingo).
Cesar: Dude, let us go make a copy. Ariel: You are crazy, I am not going to Building 1 even if you kill me, that place is full of queers. Cesar: Bro, that is nothing, they are cool, they will even do your homework for a little kiss lol.
The 6 wealthiest universities in the country, where preppy rich kids meet up to show off as if they were on a fashion runway (refers to the main private universities in the Dominican Republic: PUCMM, UNIBE, UTESA, INTEC, APEC, and UNPHU).
CAFAM is Campus 2 of APEC University (a private university in the Dominican Republic). It is known for being a bit dull and having a different vibe than the main campus. Engineering classes are held here, and classes only run in the evening from 3 to 10 PM. Students often contrast it with Campus 1, which is seen as more social and full of advertising students. Historically, students complained about it having crappy labs and no WiFi.
What a pain, dude... I have to head to CAFAM now... and there is no wifi to chat on eBuddy!
The six most expensive private universities in the Dominican Republic where wealthy people and snobs go to show off. Students from these schools are stereotyped as being soft and needing security guards to protect them. (The list includes UNIBE, UTESA, INTEC, APEC, UNPHU, and PUCMM; guachiman is a local term for a watchman or guard.)
Why spend so much dough on those G6 schools when we have our beloved UASD for free?
A group of students from APEC University in Santo Domingo notorious for making life a living hell for their professors (APEC is a private university in the Dominican Republic).
Math Teacher: You all have me worn out, I am dying for this term to end. Or: Miss, would you like to let me continue the class, you tell me.
A hangout spot where drivers can't park, security guards are clueless, and the administration is so messy they graduate students only to recall them for missing credits. The real party starts right across Gomez (Avenida Máximo Gómez, a main road in Santo Domingo). It is so wild that after 9:45 PM, the crowd makes it impossible to drive down this prestigious avenue.
To Professor MARGARITA CORDERO: remember this isn't Harvard, get used to the fact that anyone working and studying at APEC doesn't have time to listen to so much ñeka... GET REAL!!!
