i think on the grand scheme the housing market and credit crunch has affected caribbean med schools. but the default rates of these schools hasn't helped much either. just to be honest, if i were a lender, i wouldn't lend to many of these caribbean schools. if i looked at "my investment" and saw a bunch of med students blowing money like crazy and not studying, not passing boards, etc, i would pull out too.

it's a tuff reality, but how are they going to get their money back if they keep lending to these kind of students. i wish they could differenciate a smart student who studies compared to the rest of 'em. tuff times, i feel very bad for some friends who cannot get funds. i'm extremely grateful that i just graduated.
