Hhhhmmm...."truthful picture"? I'm just not sure what that's supposed to mean . Odd thread for a question like this.....if you have concerns about the island or school it is probably best to visit and make sure it is the right place for you personally. There is a lot of information on this site from students currently in basic sciences and clinicals. A thorough search of the site would probably be a good way of getting a wide range of opinions and "truth". Good Luck.
