We are sorry to annouce but Island Thrift has gone out of buisness. We had several offers to purchase Island Thrift but they all fell through before we had to leave Dominica. To all current and incoming students, we apologize that Island Thrift's services will no longer be available. If there are any spouses that would like to purchase Island Thrift, please PM or e-mail us otherwise it is a shame that no one is willing to continue the much needed services for the students at Ross University!

While preparing for semester 1, I bought my books and supplies from Island Thrift before coming to the island and just wanted to share with students that I had a great experience... it really saved a lot of room on my luggage and money! I bought all my books from island thrift and it really saved me ALOT of money. I'm really anal when it comes to studying from used books as I hate reading someone elses highlighting and such, but the books were in great condition. I would recommend it to anyone, especially new students...

Good luck!
Addy

?? I left the island more then a year ago.. sorry... 6 more weeks till I'm completely done with med school, but aint dancing yet till March -- the match that is.

If I had my books, I'd give it to ya

But since I don't, I really liked island thrift.. it made my life sooo simple... before coming to the island as semester 1 student, I had bought every book for every semester and CHEAP.. didn't bring a single book down there, but me, my clothes and desire to do well. And that's all it took.

Good Luck!
Addy the MD -- hahahahaha... I love the way that sounds!
