ST JAMES SUCKS

Careful what you sign and what you get yourself into. THIS SCHOOL IS TERRIBLE! STAY AWAY

It's funny how you joined May 26, which is today, and posted three posts which have all been on this forum. Not to mention they have all been negative comments with nothing to back it up. And telling us to contact the students is hardly a way to back up what you're saying considering we know quite a few students there who tell us the pros and cons of the school. In any case, please keep your Clap Trap to yourself.

regarding xavier

xavier has started...way ahead of schedule....so don't know anything about it....besides students over there don't have anything to compare....plus i heard a lot of the students who had joined sjsm from medway international (check the forum to get more info about them) have transferred there....weird many of these students have ended up bad mouthing sjsm for promises or bogus info given to them from medway and not sjsm's chicago office....i guess xavier is still at ground floor at the moment...from what i have heard, read and seen on their website xusom.org or meerc.com
pretty new school, still has to get a lot of credentials.....funny thing is i don't understand y students transferred from a new school to an even newer one....anyway who knows....way too early to make comparisons....and even if u make tell us y u think the school is better.....i still see sjsm as the better of the two....just keeping u guys updated...

Apples vs Oranges

I'm sure I will be corrected if wrong, but I believe the current status of Xavier is that it has a Canada campus which is accepting students and a Bonaire campus which is in the process of opening up.

Angry sure sounds like an Xavier employee to me. Funny how they never come back for a follow-up.

message for Surfergene

Hi Surfergene,
Several people have come on this forum lately and bad mouthed St James.Most of us dont know who these people are and have discounted any information they relay about the school.
You, however, are someone that we know and up until your last post I thought you were very positive about St James. Can you tell us why you now think it Sucks?
What has changed your mind about the school.

st james really isnt that hard

Quote:
. I can tell you that their are people doing well and aren't complaining. Some people complain about everything because they can or they are doing badly.

Things are improving but slowly. Things cost time and money. No one here says that they aren't being prepared.... they are lying if they are.

ok maybe youve never been in a real educational insitution because ive retained more in my years of highschool than i have at st james.
im sorry to inform you that the level of education that you believe to be so great is actuallly horrible in truth.
the only way you could feel prepared is if you seriously have an IQ of below 70.

im not attacking you, im just trying to wake you up from your delusions

i can tell you that i my self am doing well in my courses and thats only because i read and teach myself also because even a chimp with a pen could pass the exams at st james

as for you stateing that things are improving how is it improveing if in the two weeks you have been here so many teacers have left and there's one more leaveing

let me point out the models in the library. are crap .they compare to those that are found in a cheap goverment subsidised secondary institution and we have been waiting for those models for over 5 months..
it took two semesters for the school to get new computers ya that is an improvement since there was only one workign computer for the whole school 2 semesters ago and they still had the guts to call it a computer lab

St Christophers

Because it is associated with St. Christophers in the UK.

truth hurts

and i haven't replied in a while NOT because I"m an Xavier employee but because I've said my piece and i see that others are also saying theirs now. I just wanted to open up an honest discussion about the BOnaire medical school situaiton.
Good luck and please speak openly about what you are going through to help others
To use someone else's terminology here---don;t keep your ClapTrap shut!
