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).

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.

A Catholic school that is dedicated to its students but loves money. It features teachers who are almost demonic and a principal with so many plastic surgeries she cannot fit any more. The students are very studious, specifically when it comes to stealing backpacks, phones, books, PSPs, and jewelry made of gold, silver, or even fake materials. Despite all that, it is a great school where most students and teachers are kind, especially the principal, who loves ranchera music. (This refers to a specific private school in the eastern zone of Santo Domingo).
colegio cristo de los milagros is among the 5 best schools in the eastern zone, I am going to enroll my kids in colegio cristo de los milagros.
