One Of 2 Things

I was pm'd this by charlieosu, a supposed student at AGU: (along with the 10 suppose faculty on the campus), which AGU will not list on their website or respond to in an e-mail.

<I told you before, I spoke to our admin about this. They recently took pictures of all the faculty and are working on posting them on the website. This is not a bartering system.>

I was pm'd this at 10:22 am on wed morning June 6th. So you are either an AGU administrator posing as a student or you are skipping class. Neither is acceptable at a high caliber university which teaches medicine.

To anyone reading this: You can easily spot the scam!

I am a 3rd semester student as well as Student Government President at American Global University. I would like to take this opportunity to dispel some of the rumors I have just read on this message board. We currently have 30 students in Belize and 10 professors, all of which have been educated in the US. The cost of living is very reasonable. I pay $1600 a semester to live in the dorms, but there are many students who have found very inexpensive housing off campus. We are provided with breakfast and lunch each day at school for $3 a meal; a typical meal out in Belmopan is $5. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions a prospective student may have. Feel free to email me at cware@agusm.org. I look forward to hearing from you.>

So no profs means no classes, or are you skipping class or are you an admin?

is that your only logic, that the time stamp is at 11 so it must be a student skipping class or an admin? fyi i don't have lecture till 1 pm most days depending what time i have lab in the morning so at that time is usually my lunch break.

besides, many people are on and off this even when they are sitting in lecture. i'm sorry, but that is not a good indicator whether someone is a lazy student or a school administrator.

I think what roundtree is doing is trying to use logic. It is strange however that this scholl supposedly has 10 us TRAINED Profs for a class of 30 in basic science. I believe the other osther posters though!

i don't know much about the school or the professor situation, but to say that because someone wrote a message at 11 am is an indicator of something, is not a true argument.

regardless, back to studying

I like the idea of a chair next to the microwave.

I am neither an administrator or a student skipping class. I bring my laptop to school everyday. We are given breaks throughout the day.

I think it would be more beneficial for you to spend your time researching schools you are ACTUALLY interested in.

Charlie: Please pm me or roundtree (or both) the names of the profs (I will pm rountree the names). Is that asking too much?

Well Doc: it is a great indicator that the failure for the 10 profs to come to name in a pm or on the schools web page that the school does not have any more than 2 professors in belize, at the most.

Charliosu has replied that the AGU website is re-newing. Please be patient.
We bring our laptop to our class rooms and we can make use of it with wireless connection. If we do not bring it, we can use the computers at the computer room. that is not a big deal. It is usual for all students at University level.

DOC .
We know that everybody can ask any question on VMD but if somebody is not a student , not a potential student , not positively interested in other's school and doing ill effect to other students ,what action can we take.
