nadia

hi nadia, I'm interested in pharmacy as well, where did you go for undergrad? and where do you live?

i went to nc state university, graduated in december... recently got accepted to una college of pharmacy in bonaire.. but when i went to a forum called SDN (student doctor network) there was a whole thread about how this school looks like a fake money scam.. SOMEONE HELP!

what pharmacy school,

can you send the url of the website

University of North America: College of Pharmacy

It may be, there are NO PHARMACY students here on Bonaire and 8 medical students for this school. Also do some research even here on the forum, the Xavier official posted here to my question that this school, the one on Bonaire , is not run by Xavier on Aruba and does not share any recognition that the Aruba school has, it is seperate, only shares the name.

Post what you will but the truth is the truth.

I'm not bashing but wanted the "truth be told" VMD is like a war ground at times and when there are Millions to be made off of students willing to overlook the possiblity of a school not being legit, then they get sucked into a bad situation, remember you don't know me, and you don't know the other posters. I'm a medical student ( with 7 months to go on this stinking island) and there are others that post and claim that, I think do your own research.

It may turn out to be a real school but it is spanking new.

Ok it clearly states on the aruba website that "XUSOM Aruba and Bonaire are sister campuses, and follow the same mission and vision for medical education" on the Xavier Aruba website".
Well from what I get from this and the forums are 3 possiblities

1)Either one of the schools is based on the other but they are not run by the same people

2) Are they not associated at all

3) They are run by the same people and have the same quality of education, recognizition etc.

So which one of the three i mentioned above is right ? this may have been answered on here but Just want to make sure Thanks

1. That was straight from Aruba Administration they are not run by the same people, in fact there is a student at my school who knows the "Owners" of the Bonaire school and they are not the ones in Aruba.

2. They are only using the name Xavier in Bonaire

3. They have no working Pharmacy school

4. This is year one for the Xavier Bonaire, no matter what the smoke and mirrows make it to be.

5. There is a history with the past owner of St. Christopher

Hi Nadia
I'm already a student at XUSOM Bonaire where we will be sharing a campus with your pharmacy school. I'm excited to meet you in January!
If you have any questions, just shoot me an email and I'll answer it. I don't like posting on Forums, but will be happy to help you with anything you are wondering about.
Good luck and see you soon!

have you checked in to living/renting on the island?
