School Building Locked Down

The MUA-B campus building was locked down earlier this week by the landlord. At first, we were told it was only temporary and that classes would resume next week by the Dean. However, my landlord told me that out was due to the fact that the medical school owed several months rent to the owner of the building.

This is a WARNING to any student to go elsewhere. I arrived early to get settled and although Ambergris Caye is very pretty and the people are nice, the school bldg. looked more like an elementary school than a medical school. Yes there are a few usable classrooms and some faculty offices but the library has only a few old books and many computers don't work. I am out of pocket rent, airfare and other expenses. Oh, did I mention that there don't appear to be any faculty to teach at this school? I feel lost and don't know where to turn next.

I really feel sorry for you and the other students! You might consider getting out before you loose any more money and time.

After reading a few posts it is obvious how corrupt mua-b is. I hope the students sue the people responsible. This is totally unacceptable.

Get Out

Apply to SABA, MUA, SMU or others. GET OUT. See if you can get a refund on tuition. If you can't, then take the loss and wait it out until you can get into another school. Also, call any loan people making loans to these people and tell them as well.

This is more than a RED FLAG it is a billboard.

If you are a student "soon to graduate" how do you know what is going on here on the island? We all know who you are. Things would be much better if you'd do your job instead of wasting your time posting these outrageous replies.

Also, I remember you claimed that MUAB "owned the building". Clearly that was not true, so why should we believe anything you say?

learn to read

go back to school and learn abc's the info comes from the posters on the forums, better yet, try getting a job instead of asking for handouts from the tourists (like majority of belizeans do, since you claim to be "belizean")

Billybill why is it that you are the only student who ever has anything good to say about the school while hundreds of students are posting that it was a mistake they chose this school. Give us the residency list if you are so confident that the school has residents in state. Give us name of hospital they are in. Why is such a fact which promotes many school is just non existant for MUA-belize ??
