Does anyone know the approx tuition costs to go to college at a public university (like in Puerto Plata)?
Are there loan programs available? How would a bright student from a very poor family get a college education?
Is a college degree even a good investment to make in the DR (or more specifically on the North Coast)? Or would it make more sense (from a getting a job and having a "decent" life standpoint) to attend some sort of trade school training?
I feel awkward about mentioning the sex (it is a girl), but unfortunately I suspect it might have some practical impact on the answers provided (I hope I am wrong, and get some virtual slaps).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
