What to Expect as a 1st Year AUA Med Student: Student life, Weather, Island Activities
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Hi everyone! In this video, you will see a glimpse of what Antigua has to offer to aspiring medical students who plan to attend the American University of Antigua. These clips were taken during my 1st month in medical school before the COVID pandemic. I also included some footage from my vacation with the parentals back in September 2019 when we visited the island to have a tour of the campus.
If you have any questions, comment down below and I'll make sure to answer each and one of them. Also, if you have any video ideas, comment as well and I will try to film and upload them as soon as possible.
Make sure you subscribe for more pre-med / medical school related vlogs, and hit the notification bell so you can get notified every time I post a new video.

your campus is very beautiful, the island is such a beautiful place
What a beautiful place !
So many great moments to talk about in this lovely video. I love the view from your room and the resort. Your camera is amazing! Which one do you use?
Tysm! 💕 It's definitely an island that should be included in everyone's bucket list! 😂 and I actually used my phone for this video, but for my sit down vids (like the 2nd vid on this channel), I use the Nikon D3200 📷
Hello sis you look so fresh. Keep it up more vlog to come ty
Awww tysm! 💕
Hey, awesome video! I'm also Filipino and very interested in AUA. How is the safety aspect of the campus and overall feel on the island? Do they have campus bus services that take students to the "downtown" area or nearest grocery store? Thanks in advance!
That's so cool! I personally feel like the campus itself is really safe, and we do have someone checking for IDs before letting us in the campus vicinity. The overall feel of the island feels like the Philippines -- but more on the province side lol. They also do have a bus service available for students, but a lot of students either do a taxi contract, rent/buy their own cars. I know the bus won't take you to the "downtown" area, but not so sure bout the grocery stores. I do know that a taxi contract will take you on a weekly grocery run thoe! Hope that helps! :)
wow!!! keep it up! 🇵🇭 Pride!
Tyty!! 😊
Love your videos, I recently started vlogging my med school journey and you are really inspiring!! I also go to AUA :)
That's so cool! Are you currently on the island?
@@PhillineEunice I went back home this semester, wbu ? We should collab !!
Same! I'm home too lol I'm glad a lot of students started vlogging their AUA journey as well. Maybe we could all collab on the island after this whole COVID thing is over 😂
Heyy your campus is soooo beautiful! Do make a dorm tour..
Alrighty! Stay tuned, and I'll try to upload one before the end of the year :)
Wow nice video😍😍😍
Nice vlog
Nice one po
Thank you 😊
Does the University provide scholarships to international students
You buy own white coat was told. How get AUA patch? Thanks
Yup! you buy your own white coat and bring it to the island with you. I believe the patch should be available in the student library/store. However, the school does embroider your name and sew in the patch for free before your white coat ceremony!
@@PhillineEunice Thank you. Your vid is everything. 1st sem still remote 2021. Have an interview setup. Any tips, type questions they might ask?
Those are awesome video suggestions! Definitely gonna make those after exams lol I do have one that I'll be posting maybe in a week or two -- basically an updated day in a life featuring remote learning 😅
They dont have a white coat ceremony?
What did you think of the administration? Was the curriculum organized? Did faculty do a good job of teaching? Sorry so many questions! Haha thank you
The curriculum is organized by systems (which is ideal). Just like other schools, there are great professors and there are some that needs improvement. 😂 Overall, academic wise -- the curriculum will prepare us for STEP1
@@PhillineEunice thank you for responding! Appreciate the information.
Hi, I just got accepted into AUA, also AUC but have to do « MERP » first. Merp starts next month and AUA January. If you were in that situation, would you do the MERP program and if it’s successful attend AUC or just wait for January and go straight to first semester at AUA?
I would wait for January and go straight to first semester just to save on the cost of doing another program, in this case, MERP.
Thank you. 🙏 What was the student body size when you started?. Also are you assigned a roommate or optional?
Of course! I'm not sure what the size of my cohort was, but the Spring cohorts are usually smaller than the Fall cohorts. Depending on your housing assignment, you can be assigned a roommate, or you can have the whole place to yourself. Particulary for on-campus housing, you can have 1-2 house mates. You do have a room to yourself, but you will be sharing the bathroom (if you got the shared option), kitchen, and living room.
Hey philline I have some questions to you about you AUA on Instagram please answer me
AUA gives me zoey101 vibes fr
It's prolly the palm trees! LOL I wish we had dorms as cool as the ones in zoey101 thoee 😂
