I am currently a student here and regret ever coming here but since this is my last semester I wanted to share my experience here at this school.

• Beware of housing and sexism (if you're a female) issues you WILL face when attending AUA.

Some things to point out:

“Third and fourth semester students may request to stay in University Housing. Any University Housing available once first semester students have been housed will be offered to the earliest next semester students on a first-come, first-served basis.”

• This information is from the housing page on the AUA website. The Third and Fourth semester students CAN NOT get housing due to University Housing being available to first and second semester students. AUA is accepting overwhelming amount of incoming students that the facility can not hold the students that are attending now. BEWARE of this! Off campus housing is VERY DANGEROUS

Read the reviews on the school before attending!

These are actual surveys from students that are attending the school – Check it out at:

What do you like least about your school:

• There is NO equipment (CT, Ultrasound, etc), and there is 1 beef jerky looking cadaver per roughly 60 students. The cadavers are dried and some have mold.
• Financial aid, but it gets better and better each semester from what other students tell me.
• lack of organization- no syllabus, thus stating no understanding of what should usually be preread. DPS is a total waste of time how it is set up with the exception of utilizing students as dummies for each other. i feel it is a class just to make credit in lieu of an actual teaching environment which the lectures are not!
• The administration (Very much true)
• There is so much unethical behavior of staff and administration. They treat us like second class citizens, and any time a concern is raised, they respond by saying, "this isn't the US. If you don't like it go home!"(Very true)
• The faculty, the lack of the school to follow policies. The lies about how good the school is; to cover the truth! The student officers telling people not to tell the truth The "Special Grading" policies, cheating faculty. (very true)


Please share any other thoughts you may have about your school.


• Your professors will pressure you into joining them for marathon drinking sessions. You will not be prepared to be anything in the future.
• I feel this school has great potential if they began to get more organized there would be less frustration via students and less misunderstandings. I feel all the lecturers other than DPS are amazing. I never went to class and actually came out with having some form of grasp on the material because a lecturer.
• don’t have any more thoughts
• The classes are great because I am interested in what I am learning. Everything else is horrible. To be successful here you have to learn to relax and have NO expectations of people.
• I don’t appreciate the greed of the administration: One example: paying $400Ec/$120us to park in mud, when there’s no parking laws on the entire island. Many more examples!

Tell us something new, this has been around for a while....

Any current AUA students want to confirm or refute this person's claims? Personally I'm weary of anyone that only has a single post (and entirely negative one at that). VMD is famous for having other jealous school officials and/or students troll other boards.

In response to NWS - I am a current student here living in independent Housing - Crosbies - I went through this process - and want students coming in / interested in AUA to get a clear picture of the school - not just want the school is feeding to get their enrollment high and make profit without caring for THEIR current students

Someone who"s a student can you comment? I smell a TROLL

I have been here for over a year, and I personally think its fine here.

All schools have issues. If you do your thing, you're straight. If you want to get involved with the drama you will have ample opportunity, but I dont suggest it. I myself kept out of it, thank God. It's upto you to decide what you want to do.

There's a constructive way to voice your criticism here and students have taken advantage of that and things have been changed, though of course like any school more changes can be made.

I'm glad to be here, and hope to complete the program.

Oh, and I never really had a problem with school housing, Thank God.

One thing I do agree with is that the parking lot should be paved.

I like the classes and I like the professors for the most part. That's what makes this school.

Come here, do your time, and move on.

Rather than continuing to link to the same survey, why don't you give us your actual experiences on campus? Given that the size of the 4th semester class is probably small, I'm sure someone will be able to figure out if you're a real student or not. Did you used to post here before as thetruth1?

Dont you guys get what this person is trying to do

Look people this guy is trying to make us not attend this school because he doesnt go to this school and wants less money for the school to play around with.

even if he was a student there, wat retarded student would ever put down there own school at a fear of people being hurt not going threw what he went threw.
this is baloney, if you ask me this guy is one of those peoiple who is trying to destroy AUA because he is from MUA or Statia.

No - I did not - I found out about this site and wanted to post my own experience for interested students to see. Not saying much more as I don't want my life to be living hell while I'm here but for a good time go to 18 Karat on a Thursday night in St. John.

Take my post for what I am saying - I did not want this to be a bash on anyone / school. Just wanted to give a heads up to the incoming students and share my experience here at the school. I will not reply or say much more. Either you take my advice or you don't. Simple as that. Why argue over it?


iraniMD2B - please learn how to spell right - your making the school look bad.
