Is it worth studying out there?

Hi,
I am coming from Canada. I would like to get your idea about the school.
Is it worth coming and studying there or wait and apply for North American Med-school another?

How is the quality of classes, Island, Labs, prof ( lifestyle ).....
Do you guys enjoy being out there?

Thanks,
Rico :P

Urgh

Urgh... this is the same question... did I hate it here, at times YES. Would I do it again: No doubt in my mind, YES. Was it worth it: YES (otherwise I would still be applying to Canadian schools - at least here I am finished basic sciences already). Is it going to get me where I want to go: YES. Do I enjoy being here: NO, but that doesn't matter cause I got done, and it was worth it - there were some good times too. Quality of classes: Average. Island: Different and the only way to experience it is to spend a semester living here. If you like the bars, party's, going out every night, movie theaters, and other things, then sorry but this won't work for you (although we do party at least twice a block). Labs: Anatomy is good (although you get tired of it), and Microbiology and Neuro are GREAT. Profs I have already mentioned in my last message. Lifestyle... well, if you are used to living in a 5000 sq. foot house in your gated community, playing golf in your backyard, with a couple of nice cars in the driveway... then forget it! LOL... Once again, the only way to explain SABA is for you to live here for a semester.
