Is there a library on campus?

Also for gross anatomy do u work on cadavers...i have heard horror stories where the schools dont even have real cadavers to work on...

If there is a dorm..how much does it cost?

Yes, with books, video DVD's, audio, powerpoints, etc. We are also one of the VERY few schools with access to EBSCO host research material database.

Of course we have cadavers, both male and female. We also have individual organs and body parts available for lab use.

There is FURNISHED housing that includes electricity, internet, water, A/C, individual bathroom, and common kitchen and lounge/tv area for around $226 per month. Some pictures are already posted in IAU's album and through IAU-SGA's link IAU Student Government Association

thank you for your help with my questions...about the dorms however, your pics on that site aren't up..so what more can you tell me about the dorms?? Approx. how big are they? What all is in each room? Private bathroom?

On pages 1 and 2 of IAU's album here on ValueMD are pictures of the dorm...

Most students live in private housing, most private housing pictures is on page 4.

Dorm rooms are single occupancy, with a twin bed, dresser, closet, and private bathroom.

Personally I would recommend private housing just because the amount your paying is pretty much the same as the dorm (a little more expensive in some cases) and you get a much bigger living area.

Whether you decide to go with Dorm housing or outside housing, I would suggest contacting people that live in both areas to see what they like and dislike about each. Contact information for these people can be found on the SGA's New Student Committee web page:

hello again,
my question is regarding banking on the island. do students set up an account with a local bank..about how much is needed for spending money, a rough estimate is good...also for living in the dorms...do i need to bring linen with me or is it already there? will post more questions as i have them...thank you all for being so helpful!!

Most students now are setting up accounts with Bank Of America, which has links to Scotia Bank in St. Lucia to make deposits and withdrawals much easier. Other use banks such as Compass Bank which offers free ATM withdrawal worldwide. A check will take around 6 weeks to clear otherwise. Students spend at least $400 or higher per month, depending on cars, housing, etc.

Bring your own linen!
