Hey Matayo,
I've been living in MA (US) for almost 6 years now. I grew up in the island though, and my family still lives in PR. I will prob have a car there (you kinda need one) but I still want to live close to campus and pref. with other SJB students. Whether it is girls or guys I don't care as long as everyone is respectful & mindful of personal space, privacy, and study time. I was thinking a house or apt with 3-4 people total. Rent is fairly decent around there, so there is no need to complicate life with too many folks under the same roof. That way you avoid issues, excesive messyness, noise, or long wait times for the shower
(or so one would hope)
There is a chance I will be going to PR for a long weekend in May and use that time to search/visit apts in the area so I can let you know what I find out.
I think you should travel
while you can as you prob. won't have much time after that. Plus you will have plenty of chances to practice your Spanish. I will probably move there around the end of July since I rather work and save as much as I can before school starts. It will be a tough transition going from Industry to being a student again!
