NOT WINDSOR.
Trust me. Been there, and would not wish it on anyone. Taught myself everything. Coming into the real world and doing rotations in the US, the deficit in your learning becomes VERY VERY clear. There are multiple issues with the school, including administration that are very sneaky and often, flat out lie and scam you for additional money. However, I'm sure many Caribbean schools have this same issue. Bottom line is, with regards to education, which should be of PRIMARY IMPORTANCE, Windsor is far below any standards.

this post is an example of what happens in an anonymous forum. when a user registers and creates a single post which throws out many accusations about a person/place........ i dont hold much credibility in that post. why havent you posted in the windsor forum before?

I felt strongly enough about discouraging any future applicants from going to Windsor and wasting their time that I took the 10 seconds necessary to create a user name

How this affects the credibility of my opinion, I have NO IDEA.

tell us the details of you story so it can give us a better picture of it. remember not to use any full names (only initials). you really didnt give us much to work with besides the accusations. also remeber to stay within TOS (no flaming, insults, etc) while posting because im sure there will be some people on here that will get in a heated arguement with you.

Okay fair enough, you're allowed to be curious.

I've never posted on this website before because this is about the 4th time I've ever visited it in the last 4 years.
I finished my time at Windsor, partly becuase the only options for transferring involved going back and repeating a few semesters or courses (because Windsor's standard for passing was lower than virtually every other school's).

Rather than further justifying why I think the school is not a good choice, etc etc..I think I'll let my initial reply to the threat hold its own.... On a site like this where multiple users are probably employees of the various institutions, questioning credibility of any comments is understandable. However, I have nothing to GAIN from advising ppl against going there. I am not encouraging going to any other school in return.
As for taking the time to read my reply, I thank you for your interest. Best of luck!

I was curious because some of the things you were writing about AUA made no sense. Figuring out who interviewed you would simply help clarify for me why you think what you think about AUA. That's all.
