Universidad del Turabo
A private university in Gurabo, Puerto Rico. While it has a recognized engineering program, it is derogatorily nicknamed El Refugio (The Shelter) because it is seen as a fallback for students who failed to get into selective public universities but can afford the high private tuition.
- Did you get into Mayaguez (the elite public university campus)? - Man, no. I am going to have to go to the shelter. - Where are you studying? - At Universidad del Turabo. - Ah, okay. At least you are studying something. - This physics class is full of morons. I do not know how half of these idiots are going to graduate, no wonder they call it El Refugio.
