Grow some hair on your head

You say that Xavier is a thousand times better than St.James, but please tell me how? I have not heard any SUBSTANTIAL evidence that Xavier is better.

The students are from St. James and so are the professors. It seems like Xavier is not any different from St. James. I'll tell you one thing though, the only difference is that you guys will go to any lengths to get St. James students and professors. By doing so you have no idea how you have backstabbed the students who are in St. James. You not only hurt us, but you are hurting yourselves as well.

If you have something personal against Dr.****, that's fine, but don't hurt the innocent!!!!

What's up everyone? I just happened to be following some of the discussions here, and it's really sad to see that people will go to any lengths to try to discredit this school. But it's all good. I'm a second semester student here SJSM in Bonaire and I just thought I'd remind everyone that you can't listen to everything you read on this forum. The best thing to do is talk to people, do your own research and ask a lot of questions. Personally speaking, I am not at all moved by all the talk about this new school and St. James. Basically, I feel if you wanna go to this new school or any other school that peaks yor interest, go and get on with your business. But it says a lot about individuals and their character when they can bad mouth SJSM, and say that their school is all that. The new school is made up of mostly SJSM students who up and left, (mostly Canadians because they may be able to get Canadian loans). The professors teaching in the new school are made up of mostly professors that the new school got from SJSM (offered more money and problems with the owner of SJSM being a couple of reasons. These professors are looking out for themselves, and there is nothing wrong with that). The new school is on the same island as SJSM. And many of the rude comments and rumors are coming from the people of the new school. If you wanna build up your school and make a name for yourselves do it the old-fashioned, honest way. You guys know better than that. DON'T try to knock someone else down in order to try to pull yourself up. Also, like therightperspective said, if you have a problem with the owner of SJSM, don't try to mess things up for those of us who have nothing to do with anything.
With all that being said, the professors that did leave us have been replaced with just as qualified, if not more qualified instructors. (Everyone talks about all the professors that left, but no one said anything about the new ones that came). I'm happy with that and doing alright. The island is still kind of boring, that hasn't changed, but I think we are all doing well trying to cope for one more year. SJSM has many hospital affiliations, despite all the rumors that we had no affiliations. But like I said before, don't listen to everything you hear. Do your own homework!

Docron... I'm out...

P.S.-Please, whoever you are with a chip on your shoulder, don't send me any e-mails challenging me to meet you anywhere (like you did for Kish or Jpryor). You know who I am.

Xavier is doing their best to try to get students and professors from St. James - promising them so much.

Don't forget guys, Xavier is the same **** Pillae that St. James originally broke off with and Yubin Shin was lied to by. Read the old post if you don't remember.

Okay,

I will put my two cents in. The school seems a little disorganized there, but, I guess that is what is expected. I went there two days ago, and they had furniture, computer lab, fully furnished classrooms with projectors. They have a game room, with a Ping Pong Table, and Hockey Table. They have an open campus policy, where anyone can come in, even us St. James people. Two people from our class transferred there: Joe and Mohendric, they told us we should have transferred. I am starting to regret, and should have transferred when Shabir told us that we were going to get crushed by St. James for their "empty promises". Especially the Canadians that were accepted without the proper Pre-Med requirements.

As far as staff: They mostly St. James professors, Gil, his wife, Baily, Keyes, Waheed. They are decent proffessors. The campus is a lot nicer.
Cleaner, but it is a new school.

Now their clinicals set up in Atlanta. I checked them out. It looked promising. I talked with students there already, from other Caribbean Medical School. Apparently the owner of Xaviars, has had a program for residency matching and clinical clerkships for FMG people. And since he has made a name for himself: PGY1MD.com, and GMC MEd, he probably felt that setting up a Basic Science Medical School would be easy.

I decided to stay at SJSM since it was my last semester, and Xaviers being that it was so new. Well as far as promises that were provided for Xaviers, the students certainly seems more happy, and less disgruntled since they moved out of SJSM, but they have to be better tacked than taking professors from our school and students from our school.

Here is a totally unbiased report.
