AUA interview in a week n'....

Hello. I was wondering if anyone can fill me in on their personal experiences, likes/dislikes, and general outlook for the school. I'm interviewing for the May trimester, but also have 2 other schools lined up in the Caribbean. I've been finding it difficult to get reliable information for this school. Can someone hook a brotha up? Thanks in advance

.....

They charge $93,000 in tuition for the four years. That is significantly more than the established schools like Ross, AUC, and Saba. If you cannot get into a real school, then at least go to a CHEAP pseudo-school.

Aside from the tuition, the school has no track record, no grads, no promise of anything other than to significantly lighten your pockets.

Well put Silly Doc, although you might want to make note that AUA is not necessarily a "bad" school...there are other more established schools, such as St Eustatius which has cheaper tuition and living expenses and MUA with cheaper tuition and living expenses, and both more established. St Matthews is another one...It is honeslty a personal decision, I hear people ask this and that but what you need to do is sit down and write all the hard facts, pros/cons for each school you can consider...I did that and it worked well for me...I found AUC to be a great school located in a great place, everything of which is positive, but the cost of living and tuition is way up there...now SABA is the exact opposite of AUC...both have a great education, personally I would choose AUC over SABA, but thats just my 0.02

What do you mean, does it mean the school is no good.

I am going to be attending AUA in May. I have had lots of good experiences with the AUA staff so far. Everyone has been very helpful in helping me make the big move. That is all I have so far.
