Starting September 2008

Hello,
I was accepted for September 2008 semester. I have many questions but the most important is about the school dorm:
1 - How many will be in the dorm?
2 - How far is the dorm from school?
3 - Will there be special room for husband/wife students?

Thanks,
huydp

1. they are not 'dorms' as the traditional sense of what you might expect in University...these are houses...so depending on how many bedrooms/house...it might be 1 roommate - 4 roommates...everyone gets own room, share kitchen/livingroom

2. location, depends, changes each semester...i know that housing is shifting closer to the new campus next semester as the md4 batch starts to pack up and leave the island for good...but the school does provide free bus to and from school each day...so you will be told of the timing of that bus when you get to the island

3. talk to the school when you get to the island. the do make arrangements as such if you come a few weeks before the semester starts. so keep that in mind.

Thanks

Hello Fry,
Thanks for the info, much appreciated. That's what I thought but I wasn't sure. My fiancee and I were accepted last week, she's most concerned with the dorm. We're from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nice to meet you.
Thanks,
huydp

New Student for 9/08 (part 2)

Hello,
I have more questions for my new enrollment at Windsor:
1 - What is the passing rate for ECFMG?
2 - Does Windsor prepare us for that test?
3 - How good is USLME preparation at Windsor?
I'm just curious, not trying to put down WIndsor or anything. I'm new so just a little bit curious.
Thanks,
huydp

Hello,
This is my last set of questions:
1 - When does classes start in September? It wasn't mentioned during my interview.
2 - Is the school within walking distance of the nearby beaches, markets and Basseterre?
3 - Where approximately does the school located on the island map?
Thanks,
huydp

Question Admission requirements?

1) What's the minimum required GPA and MCAT score for Windsor for September 2008?
2) I'm from Canada and just wanted to know..is the standard of living similar to that in Canada or totally different? Do you guys always have hot water or does it become cold when you shower?
