Off Campus Life in St. Maarten

I heard compared to SGU and Ross, AUC students have a better quality of life because St. Maarten is technically a colony of the Netherlands. That being said do they use Euros?? I really hope not because the Dollar just keeps falling against it. Also when we have our breaks, is this a good island for fun, in other words is it easy to meet beautiful women? I have been working out for 3 hours a day doing weights, Taebo, Step Reebok and bikes to look great for the beaches to get a body to impress the ladies, since I lost a lot of weight I have noticed that women have been making passes at me which is weird because most women where I live are pretty conservative, so I am looking forward to meeting some uninhibited ladies on the island. Mind you I am going to study my butt off, but I am looking to enjoy myself during the breaks.

SXM uses the dollar, mostly.

There are not shortage of women. SXM is a tourist trap. As such, there are tons of people there looking for a good time.

Since this is a colony of the Netherlands as you stated, Netherland does not use Euros they use gilders. And the exchange rate is $1 US to $1.80 naf. Only on the French side do you run into Euros.

As for the women, I'm sure a hunkie, hunkie guy like yourself could get any of the old naked ladies that hang on Orient or the half naked strippers that sunbathe at Mullet Bay!

In the French side, a lot of places will take dollars on a 1:1 conversion for euros!

On the Dutch side, it's all dollars.

Um, and what kind of manly activity is Step Aerobics (ROFL).... don't hate on me, I'm Karate & TKD trained and spent time as a ref in the premiere soccer league... Even I, would not be caught DEAD doing step aerobics!!!

oh, BTW:

Speaking of those 'uninhibited ladies,' the HIV/STD rate on the island is extremely high... The easy ones you're looking for shouldn't be hard to find... they might even leave you with a special gift or two

I liken myself to being a pretty boy like Orlando Bloom or Brad Pitt, I am not tall enough(only 5'10") to be the manly man type sexy guy. I prefer natural blondes, is it easy to find blondes, St. Maarten is part of the Netherlands which is famous for its blondes.

i seriusly just spit coffee on my computer screen.....you stud, you

anyways, yes netherlands girls are gorgeous but you are not in the netherlands.....you're in a colony of the netherlands. There is no shortage of hot women on the island but most speak french or you have to pay for them to talk to you and for some reason they keep asking if you want them to dance for (on) you

As hot as you must be...you should probably just write up an application. You need a way to sort out all of the girls who will no-doubt be flocking to you the moment you arrive at the airport.

I'd suggest a short questionaire, maybe some multiple choice, maybe some short answer questions to get to know the girls a little better. Of course, a picture is mandatory. Then, you can just sort through the list and choose whichever one you want.

But, who are we kidding? The application isn't really necessary...just as long as she's hot and can cook you dinner!
