Hato Rey is served by the San Juan metropolitan transportation network, including Tren Urbano, but the usefulness of transit depends on the location and hours of a student's classes or clinical placements. Applicants planning to commute should check the precise teaching address, parking arrangements and travel time to any required off-site training location.

Prospective students can use the statements to assess what the institution says it prioritizes, then compare those priorities with concrete program requirements, clinical training arrangements and student support policies. An institutional goal is not, by itself, evidence of a particular student outcome.
