damnn....oh another question is it easy to get a glock?? loll just jokinnnnn relex people....soo dont tell me its like lights out at 7 on the islandd???

Man some people on here are haters !!!!!!!!! ahem stephew

I think most people couldnt answer the question...bc they prolly never even went to the island.

Its a legitamate question.

When I was in aruba...it was the same crap all day long. Same locals, and same spots. Its mostly for tourists, and you will just get really really sick of it. Infact the spots are doing pretty damn good since the Holloway incidence.

The aruban girls.....lol..they are beasts, serously they are beasts

when you get there you will get so sick of everything, you will hardly ever want to go out, most of them time your studying..or you might just hang out with your classmates....

but dont let the boring party life and beasty girls depress you......where there is a will...there is way....that could work pretty good for your books.

My understanding is that medical school is damn hard and requires a great deal of studying. I'll begin my partying after I've completed my education, which means once I've left the island.

I suppose I could just go to a bar or a club and read one of my textbooks - I understand that this is a major turn on for some women and a tried and true pickup technique? It would be alright if the ladies wanted to girate and grind up against me while I worked, so long as they didn't get in the way when I was trying to turn the page.

It's all about setting the right study atmosphere... disco balls in general, are a poor source of lighting to say nothing of strobe lights. Still a gentle massage could be nice with earplugs properly fitted.

Aruba does not have that kind of club.

WOW and this is just another reason that this school looks bad...

ITS MEDICAL SCHOOL!!! College is over with. Time for real life

Whatever...

The fact of the matter is that there isn't much partying going on, hence the earlier responses. If 'real life' consists of quotas for gender and race ahead of merit and ability, then you can keep that real life dream to yourself. It seems to me that our educational system here at home is the one that is lacking, and that this is the reason so many Caribbean schools are popping up all over the place - because North American schools are doing nothing to keep up with demand for doctors.

I'll illustrate what I mean: A doctor's son, with a 90 percentile average, and a master's degree - has been unable to enter medical school here after multiple attempts. There's something very wrong with the system and until that gets fixed, you'll see bright men and women (but much moreso men), leaving for distant shores to follow their dreams - dreams that have been unfairly quashed here at home.

I can't speak for others on this, but the reason that I will be leaving Canada to complete my studies elsewhere, is affirmative action in the selection process - known here as 'equity'. (period). I'm not going for a party atmosphere or to boogey down - in fact I think it will be quite sad for me having to leave behind family and friends. If I felt I had any choice, then this wouldn't be it. That's not a knock against Xavier, which is a good school - it obviously knows what it's doing to be running schools in 3 separate nations, but rather a statement of the obvious - most of us would prefer to stay closer to home.

I seriously hope you get a life..

You have a lot of growing up to do.. Why not go the hospital and ask the doctors about the nurses and are hall closet hook-ups real?

I am going to put some money on you... that you will be another statistic... med school flunkie....

You can almost always point the out in the first few weeks of class. They are the ones that get tanned, look hung over most mornings, fall asleep in class and always talk about the scene at the bar they were at last night.

Just make sure you buy at round trip ticket with the ability to change the return date.

A bad day at school is still better than a good day at work.

thats a bit harsh.......

Statistically speaking...i have seen the partiers...some how make it threw and then just do amazing on thier boards, and kick butt threw clinicals and get awesome residency spots.

The thing is most of these kids...come str8 from highschool, or maybe with a year of college under them. MOST OF THEM ARE NOT READY FOR MED SCHOOL. But eventually being a part of system long enough and going threw day care (pre med)...A good precentage do end up making it.

So i dont think you all should so harsh to these kids asking about the partying...they are going there to do their pre med...and thier growing up. Most will get it in gear by the time med hits...or else thier Jag bag dean will hold them back in pre med.

they are not students like you...who have worked hard in the states or canada, and barely missed making it to med school, so now you have come to the caribs and have a thirst for medicine that you will do anything to quench. ( ideally those are the best students, but most schools like this are interested in making money...thus the teeny bopers).
