A private school in Bonao that is as prestigious as elite schools in the capital like Lux Mundi or San Judas Tadeo. It is a sports rival of exclusive international schools like Carol Morgan. Historically, it served the local elite and children of employees from Falconbridge (a major nickel mining company in the area), but after layoffs, it became a hub for children of government officials, wealthy landowners, and the rich. Graduates typically attend top private universities (like UNIBE or PUCMM) and live a lifestyle of luxury shopping and high-end tech. It is known for high academic standards and a campus founded by Canadians.
Where do you study? At the Colegio Centro Educacional de Bonao (C.E.B). Oh! That is great...

G6 refers to the six most prestigious and expensive private universities in the Dominican Republic: UNIBE, PUCMM, INTEC, UNAPEC, UTESA, and UNPHU. While academically elite, they are socially stereotyped as bubbles for spoiled rich kids who treat the campus like a fashion show. The students are often mocked for being snobby and agentaos (pretentious), such as pretending to only listen to English music while secretly craving street merengue. These schools are notorious for high costs and frequent tuition hikes. They also share a culture of derogatory nicknames used by rivals, like Brutesa (playing on the word for stupid) or Putamaima (a vulgar play on the school name). (In the Dominican Republic, these elite schools are often contrasted with the UASD, the massive and rugged state university).
Attention dear students, due to the new services and facilities we have offered, starting next term the cost per credit and re-enrollment will increase, thank you for your attention.

A movie theater in Plaza Naco where preppy kids from the Naco and Piantini neighborhoods gathered on weekend nights during the late 80s and early 90s (Naco and Piantini are upscale areas in Santo Domingo). These youths went there to hang out outside the building to show off their new clothes and act like big shots. The place would get so crowded outside that no one actually bought tickets, which eventually led the cinema to go bankrupt. It was also common for guys to start fistfights there just to show off and impress others.
1: Hey, let's go to cineplex. 2: What movie is playing? 1: What movie? Hell no, we are going to stand outside so people see us and we can act like big shots. 2: Oh, okay, let's go pose then.

Colegio Nuevo Renacer is one of the top schools in Moca, located 10 minutes from downtown in Juan Lopez, also known as J. Lo City by the local jevitos (wealthy or trendy youth). It is considered one of the best not because it costs an arm and a leg, but because it has the best facilities in the region and you actually have to study. You do not pass just because of your family name or a pretty face: you either get your act together or you are out. They are known for being creative and original, always winning every competition. Also, the girls there are gorgeous but have high standards.
Anyway, Colegio Nuevo Renacer is top tier like the 809 (the original and most iconic Dominican area code). They should move it right into Moca so all the other schools have to shut down.

A snobbish or superficial person who acts superior based on their social circle or by putting on airs. They often look down on their own culture while imitating American or wealthy foreign stereotypes. The term describes someone who focuses on appearances and the latest fashion trends to mask insecurities, but it can also simply refer to a wealthy youth who is easily influenced by media and status.
First of all, this is just a stereotype: it is not that people who seem like a Plastiquito do not have good qualities we can learn from, so let us respect each individual.

A guy who wears preppy or trendy clothes, looks like a sissy at first glance, and is so stuck-up that he is obsessed with himself and thinks he is a total heartthrob. (In the Dominican Republic, this describes a youth subculture from the 80s and 90s characterized by brand-name clothing and a vanity that was often mocked as effeminate).
Ana: Girl, look at that jevito. Rosita: Gross! That guy looks like such a sissy, can you not see how he dresses? All he is missing is the wig. And look at those Elvis Presley style pants, they look like they are going to split what little he has got in two. Ana: Oh my god.

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).
