I am an MUA Belize student and this post is NOT intended to criticize OR defend either AGU or MUA Belize.

Atlanticvioxx,

from some of your posts in this and other threads, you've told us that you're going on a fact finding mission (for lack of a better description) to both AGU and MUA Belize, as a Good Samaritan, in order to share with all of us your objective opinions of both schools.

Okay, fine, whatever. It's a free country - by all means share away.

Then, you post (I've quoted it above for convenience's sake) that you have no problem meeting with an MUA student, but when an AGU student offers to meet with you and give you a tour, all of a sudden you're worried about "blowing your cover", so to speak.

Why is it that you have no issue with the MUA people knowing who you really are, but apparently have a big problem with the AGU people knowing who you really are?

I should think that accepting Charlie's offer of a tour would be the ideal opportunity for you to confirm some, if not all, of those unfavourable facts you've collected about AGU. But, if you're not willing to meet students and take the same tour/inspection/fact collecting mission of both AGU and MUA Belize, doesn't this attract a certain...aroma...to your objective opinions?

No problem. My plans have changed and I will be in Belize 4th of July week. I will be happy to let charlie (or any AGU studnet) give me a tour. No problem.

I doubt that's going to happen...he still doesn't believe I'm even a student. Either way, you're more than welcome.

can someone fill me in on agu for real, and what i should bring with me from usa, just pm me or something

You will need to bring light, casual clothing. The university requires its students to wear scrubs and lab coats to lab (AGUSM lab coat is a required purchase upon attendance). If you can, have your medical books shipped to the school for your first trip to campus . . . the airlines will charge extra fees for overweight bags. All lectures include multimedia and the use of technology . . . profs allow students to download lecture materials . . . having your own laptop is a must! The dorms are new/clean and come with television (US cable), air conditioning, refrigerator, microwave, full bath, living and sleeping area . . . you will want to bring your own sheets, towels and the extra necessities you want from home (although you can also purchase these items once you arrive).

What kind of issues is the school having? I am a prospective student looking to transfer into 3rd year (I have already completed the 1st 2 and USMLE step 1). Can anyone give me info on the clinicals? Also what states can one apply to residency after graduating this school? Also, what states can one get licensed in after grad. What is the financial situation of the school. What is the average age of the students. How many students are in the 2nd year class (about to enter 3rd year). What is the average age of students. Lastly, are there many students with advanced medical degrees (like chiropractors, nursing... etc) I understand that I've asked many questions, but I am very seriious about the transfer (already submitted my application) and would like to get some insight into the situation at the school. Info much appreciated. !!!
