You know what. I was thinking about it.... being able to study in Grenada is fantastic. And here is why:
1. We are on a freakin island, so there are not many distractions (aside from the beautiful beaches).
2. The teachers here are PHENOMENAL! Seriously, all of the professors here are (for the most part) fantastic. They are paid to teach, not to do research.
3. I live on campus, so everywhere you go, people are studying. It can be, at times, really motivational.
4. The level of extra help and study resources that this school provides is EXCELLENT. There are SOOOOO many options for extra help or study groups if you want it.
5. Again, we are on an island, so really all we have to concentrate on is studying.
After reading about and talking to some students and professors at other (state side) medical schools, I really feel strongly that the quality of education we are getting here is probably some of the best in the world... and while some medical students have to decide if they are going to go out to a night club, go to a local sporting event, see the latest movie that just opened, or study.... We, here in Grenada, only have one option: Study... always. but we get the beautiful views out our windows.
Back to rocking it out with one week til midterms.
I'm sure you wouldn't have to try very hard to find a nice dive bar in the open air playing caribbean music and serving ceviche and beer. I plan on visiting, so you need to find me this, in any case.

Ummm. yeah. I'll give you a comparison: more of those in Grenada than there are Starbucks in the states.
