University of Health Sciences, Antigua
I am planning on this being a one time post in attempt to set the record straight about University of Health Sciences, Antigua (UHSA). I am sure it will do as much good as convincing David Duke that African Americans are good members of society - but what the heck. Truth deserves a chance on this subject as well.
Here is a Youtube.com link of a video tour of the UHSA campus. It is a very nice beautiful campus, situated on a beautiful 50 acre bit of land, near English Harbor. English Harbor is a beautiful safe area where multi-million dollar yachts dock. Although the school recieves its mail in St.Johns , the school is not there. The campus has great facilities, and the video shows many of these : nice dorms with modern conveniences, anatomy lab, biochemistry lab, microscopy lab, etc. The drive to the school is beautiful, with many scenic views of the ocean. The beaches in Antigua are great.
Stores aren't that great. There isn't a Walmart there or anything. St.Johns seems a bit dangerous after dark.

The school has several schools such as medicine and nursing. When I was enrolled as a student there was about 500 students enrolled. With a tuition of $10,000 -24,000 a year, and that many students, the school was financially sound. While I was on campus I saw several native Antiguans come and sign up to be students and leave checks in payment for tuition. I saw them come on campus, talk to Ms.Samuels, and saw the checks they left on her desk.Most students do the traditional 4 year program.
At my graduation from the school, one of our speakers was a lady who was a native Antiguan who had graduated, completed residency in the United States and is now a licensed MD in one of the states. Also at our graduation, one of my fellow students was from Grenada. Her aunt is the first lady of Grenada. I know Grenada has St.Georges medical school, I am not sure why she chose UHSA instead of St.George's. I am sure with an aunt who is that politically connected in Grenada, I am sure strings could have been pulled to get her into that Caribbean school. But anyway, she was in my graduating class and her aunt was at the graduation. She chose UHSA over St.Georges.
