Hey everybody - I was just bored and found this forum while surfing the net the other day.

My name is Matt Brett and I'm starting at Saba in May. I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and graduated from the University of Manitoba.
Just wondering how many other canadians are going to saba in may?

Hope to hear from everybody soon, and I'll see evryone at orientation on May 3rd.

Take it easy,
Matt

hey matt, me and a coulpe of buudies are going down to Saba in May as well. We are all from the west coast-vancouver. Just trying to finish off all the liitte things like phone/cell situation (calling back to canada), trying to find cheap flights. When do you plan on arriving at the island?
Looks like alot of canucks this time---its all good.

hey man,
sounds good - I didn't want to be the only canadian down there.
What have you found out re: phoning back to canada?

I'm pretty sure I'm booking my flight thru expedia.ca - it seems the cheapest (even though its still pretty damn expensive)

I'm flying from winnipeg to st. maarten on may1st, and then taking the edge to saba on the 2nd

See you there

Matt

Hey Guys,

I'm will be applying to SABA next year ('05) and wanted to know how much research you guys did and whether you are planning to come back to Canada. All I know is I don't plan on coming back to Quebec....

Anyways I'm hoping anyone has any good news regarding on how tough it will be to get into US residency if you are a canadian citizenship. I wonder if agreements such as NAFTA give us a better chance at obtaining residency than on students.

SABA is the most established school I could possibly afford ( my parents can possibly afford). However, I dont' want to be a burden and was wondering in anyone had any sucess getting loans for the entire amount?


Thanks
Ken from Montreal

Hey All,

My best friend and I are also coming down for May'04. We are from Toronto and graduated from UofT this year. Sound like there will be quite a few Canadians there which is great.
Now that it's crunch time, I wish you all the best with packing, tickets and everything else we have to get done in the nick of time. Hope to meet you all in person.

See you Soon

Hey,

Me and my best friend are coming down for the May '04 semester as well, we are both recent graduates from U of Toronto. What a coincidence

Time is ticking... I cant wait to start medical school, and meet all the friendly people who have become friends on the forum.

one more month to go...

My name is Mike Nguyen and I am a UBC grad, and I will be down on Saba round the 26th or 28th of April. My parents decided they wanted to see this 'rock' I was going to and made it a family vacation. In terms of a phone, I decided email will have to do (I'm horrible with calling anyway). It'll be great to meet and greet all of you when May 3rd comes around.

Hope your flights go well (I think I got stuck with an 8 hour layover).

Mike

Hi to all,

Sounds like a lot more Canucks are coming down... I started in Jan and I must say approx 30% of our class are cdn... See you all soon
