Advice on on a new highschool graduate moving to Puerto Rico?
I am recently graduated from high school and am planning on moving to Puerto Rico. Without having started my college plans yet, (I plan to eventually attend school in San Juan)I am concerned with finding a job and being able to afford to reside there. I have no family there, and only a little money saved. But I do speak Spanish at a intermediate level. Lastly, I am flexible with my standard of living and willing to work very hard. Is there any advice to make the relocation easier and for me to be able to live there? Thanks.

Hello. I am not going to lie to you & tell you it will be easy because it wont be. But I think it might be a good experience for you. Being young with no family to take care of makes it a good time to try something new. Its good that you speak some spanish because you will need it. Most colleges teach classes in spanish. If your spanish isnt good enough for that, then you should look into InterAmerican University, they have classes taught in english. College is cheaper in PR so that is a plus. You will need to live in the San Juan area if you dont plan on having a car. You can search on clasificadosonline for apartments & jobs. You can get an efficiency apart for $250-400 per month if you dont mind it being small & maybe not in the nicest area. Finding a job will be hard since you probably dont have any job skills yet. But you might be able to find something for minimum wage. Research before you decide & Make sure you or your parents always have enough money for a plane ticket home just incase things dont work out. Good luck :) http://www.clasificadosonline.com/ http://www.metro.inter.edu/englishtrimester/index.htm
