Automatically translated from Spanish
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 university often seen as a fashion show for showing off fancy clothes and shoes.

Puca refers to PUCMM, the elite university, and UASD is the public university. Anthony's is a well-known local department store.)

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.
