There is a huge difference between the three or four top universities and the state university and the rest of the "for profit" universities. The most important one is that you can be flunked out of the good schools.

And, of course, the quality of the education you receive is vastly different. As for community colleges, there are none yet, but the current president wants to make some of them...

As far as I know, there are no live-in universities in the DR. Students from different cities will board in "pensiones" or boarding houses, or rent apartments. Some even commute 50 or 60 kilometers, and some towns have buses that take students to universities in other cities.

the most "rural" university has to be ISA on the outskirts of Santiago in La Herradura. However, it is just 10 minutes from town.

Depending on your point of view and career path:
top three or four
PUCMM
Intec
UNIBE
APEC
Maybe Unphu.

UC Santo Domingo

UASD (if you can handle the delays and BS)

All the rest as "for profit"....

In the provinces, Nordestana in SFM.
