I have nothing against bodybuilding and I enjoy the gym as much as the next person but don't take "those kinds" of supplements. Its not worth it aka decrease in sex drive (small balls syndrome). I do believe that it is good for staying healthy and relieving stress. I actually prefer running outside and training for marathons. Now that I have explained myself...good grief. I know your just kidding and giving me a hard time. So I will stop here. Is there anything other than GNC?
good to hear.... I'm pretty sure there are some "health" food stores here. I think I do remember seeing a health food store downtown one time.

theres another health food store in the blockbuster/subway complex next to the wendy's on west bay road.

we also have access to kings gym near hurley's supermarket. You will need a car to go to this gym, its on the other side of the airport going to the east part of the island.

Hey everyone lets start a pool to see how long NYjf12 will continue riding the bike to school. I say less than a week before this person gets a car or relies completely on public transportation.


Alot of people in my semester planned on riding their bikes to school every day. By the end of the 2nd month in 1st semester they all had cars. lol

Funny...I had that mentality for a while but then I remembered when I was doing my undergrad parking was horrible and you ended up walking for almost an hour before you got to your first class. (and it was uphill both ways in the snow with no shoes). Anyway, what is the best way to buy a car on the island? Is there financing or just cash only sales? Also, is it better wait until after first semester to buy a car from another student and just use public transportation for the first few months?

they have both here. there are some car dealerships, such as Tony's but they were a little out of my price range. you can buy a car from a student who's leaving, or you could buy the local newspaper that comes out every friday that will have some pretty good deals. I bought mine that way. Azulpanther was right, I just barely got from back from the post office and sure enough there IS a health store right next to Blockbuster, which is on the main road from the RH to the school. If you're coming from the RH, its the plaza of stores right before the gas station/Burger King is.

Still need a place to stay?

Num Rooms: 2
Num Baths: 2.5
127 #C Raleigh Quay

Hello, I need a roommate to live with a 3rd semester male student from St. Matthews University.

If walking, the apartment is 2 min from the beach and 15 min from St. Matthews campus. The apartment is on Raleigh Quay Rd.

The room for rent has its own bathroom and a large closet. You would have a king sized bed, 2 nightstands, and 1 dresser. The furniture is a nice hard wood and in good condition. The house comes with all linens, kitchen utensils, furniture, a patio, Washer and Dryer. All that is needed is YOU!

Rent is $1075 CI/month + utilities and deposit would be $1175. Cable TV is included and there is a large TV downstairs.

The apartment is very spacious.

Please email aantonetti@smucayman.com to come check it out or for more questions.

This is a better deal than staying at the residence hall or suites!!

Welcome

Grand Cayman is a beautiful safe place to live, there are no worries on going there. The climate is very similair to florida but the sun is way hotter! I hope you enjoy your time.
