I am in for may08 as a transfer student and very excited to be at Windsor....thanks to all who provided the valuable information about the school and everything. Since i am a transfer student from MUA and will be coming to MD2. I have some questions.
1. Since i have finished MD1 at MUA (Anatomy, Histo, Embryo) and got the credits for the same at Windsor, I am worried about the course timings clashing at Windsor since i think i will be taking courses from MD1 and MD2. I am not sure how school works around that. Did any one else experienced anything similar...any suggestions?
2. I will prefer to stay in the school provided housing. Would it be a good idea to bring a bike to travel to and from school?
3. Are there any mature students or student with families there?
4. Is it possible to get a kitchen of ur own? I think the school dorms have shared kitchens. I don't mind paying a little bit of extra for that.

Any suggestions/comments are welcome. Hope to see u all there in a month.

most likely you will take Physio 1, Physio 2, and Biochem.

schedules shouldnt overlap.......

Physio 2 is the easiest class in basic sciences and Physio 1 and Biochem are probably the hardest clases in each of the respective semesters in my opinion

there isnt any school housing around school...there are houses that you can get but nobody else lives there, besides it being an awesome place to live.has a bit of a suburban look to it

i knwo fo two places right by school both 2 bedrooms one is 900 US/month all utilities included w/ ACs

and another one about 700US/month without electricity included

if you live in town - cayon the rent is almost a third of that - 600-1000EC/month for a 2 bedroom all utilities included

my suggesstion live in bird rock, frigatebay, or lime kiln where you have other students around and you can get help fromt hem in case you need it

yes seen a few

yes you can get a one bedroom apartment if you want and pay a little extra for it

yeaa biochem and physio 1 were tough

Dr. B made biochem a bit easier though

i heard.....

we werent as fortunate

Why did u leave MUA...if I may ask

Couple of quick questions:
1] Does Windsor provide free housing? And if so, is it shared?
2]I am tranfering my biochem,Anato,Histo,Ethics and Embryo credits....so will I be in the second semester right?

Thanks

yes but actually no

the tuition you pay includes a part that is already set aside for housing - exactly 1000 dollars per semester - you pay another 500/semester for maintanence if youa re in school housing

so the tuition is 4000 and housing will cost 1500/semester
if you choose to live outside school housing then you only pay 4000/semester for tuition and make ur own arrangements

you will most likely get your own room and sometimes your own restroom

but the kitchen, living and dining is all shared

only in morgan heights some people share a room

you will have to take physio 1 and physio 2 and might take a couple 3rd semester classes.....

I'm not sure what they will do but you might even be in 3rd semester...make sure with the admin though they will give you a better answer

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer..

i am also accepted for may 2008 and about to send, my passport, medicals tests, xray, tuition fee and visa form from nigeria...just hoping i can still make resumption on time, or what do u guys think??Is it late? any other sugeestions on how i can possible get visa or make windsor's may resumption on time
Lastly, a friend of mine told me i have to pa extra 2000dollars for securities fee, please i ve never heard that, is this true? becuase from the acceptance email i got i was only told to pay tuition of 4990, visa fee 100dollars and housing 100dollars....
please correct me if i am wrong as i also plan to call the admsiion office tommorrow.
thanks.
