hi, I need honest opinion of ONLY reasonable people who have been to IAUPR
I really love to go into optometry and I think I have a chance of getting into Puerto Rico Optometry schools. HOwever, after reading a lot of posts on this forum I have gotten nervous of Puerto Rico Optometry school.
I am willing to go to Puerto Rico, but is it a legitimate school, which functions like any other normal optometry school ? or Is it a dead end school ? I know nothing in optometry schools any where is guaranteed. However, If I go to IAUPR and study reasonably there like any other average student in other Continental US optometry schools, would I pass the board test and become an optometrist ? And would hospitals and clinics in mainland America be willing to hire me even if I graduated from Puerto Rico ?
And is it required by IAUPR to take spanish classes in college ? I took some spanish classes in high school but not in college, and spanish is not my first language, and I am not good at it. Are all lectures given in English, for those who can't properly understand spanish ?
Is Puerto Rico like a normal optometry school (except that they also teach in Spanish ) or is it a waste of money and time ?
