About This Campus

Founded in 1912, Inter San German was the first private institution accredited in Puerto Rico by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Our campus has 262 acres of lush vegetation and hills at a historical, small-town: San German. San German is the second settlement in the Island, known as La Ciudad de las Lomas (The City of Hills) and Fundadora de Pueblos (Founder of Towns). The campus is within walking distance of the town where you'll find 17th Century museums, food kiosks, restaurants, a theater, narrow colonial streets, and homes. We are among the TOP FIVE most affordable HSI's for out-of-state students living on campus. Enjoy concerts, art exhibitions, participate in activities offered by our student organizations. During Spring, you can enjoy Las Justas. An intercollegiate sports festival where our athletes defend their championship. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE, STUDY AWAY FROM BIG TRAFFICS AND EXPERIENCE THE UNIVERSITY LIFE FROM A DIFFERENT VIEW.
