On Campus Living at St. George's University

- This video features your average dorm layout for veterinary and medical school here at SGU. I get asked housing questions sometimes or what dorms are like. I never lived on campus since I brought Toulouse (my cat) so hopefully this video gives a good idea of how large the dorms actually are and what it would be like living here your first 1 or 2 semesters.
Feel free to drop any questions. I know I didn't really talk much about details, but I do have a good bit of knowledge about on campus life.

About me: My name is Brittney Kilgore. I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA and am an alumni of the University of Georgia (UGA). I am currently a veterinary student at St. George’s Univeristy. SGU is located on the Caribbean island of Grenada. Although I’m a vet student now, I’ve been a vet tech for years. As I achieve my DVM, I’ve started this channel to document and share my life. I hope to oneday practice small animal / feline medicine. Until then, hope you enjoy my journey!
You should ask someone who stays in the new super dorms over by the beach front. I think all of the dorms differ slightly but the new ones are LIT
Hi, how are you able to afford living off campus?
Loans (and family help)
I've walked through SGU many times over the years (I'm not a student) and always wondered what the dorms were like, thanks this was very interesting 😃
Buena Vista Apartment in grenada is a brand new apartment, where students only have to bring their clothes. All units air conditioned and 10x better than what sgu offers on campus
@Liyah Hey Liyah, check out our facebook page @BuenaVistaApartments473
Hopefully it can answer most of your questions
I live in grenada st Patrick's I am selling iPhone 11 pro max pc
Hi all current term 5 student here is an updated truth of the school:
It used to be a good school. But it has been going downhill. I attend there and the quality of lectures / education has decreased since Dr. Modica sold his shares to a Chinese company -> as of 2018 BSCE an NBME exam is now worth 45% of the term 5 grade where about 40% of people fail. (Reported by upper termers that other schools have bought out rotations spots away from sgu and they had to be wait listed so now sgu is trying to eliminate the number of students by term 5) Ive seen my friends who are good people and potential good doctors fail because of their ambition for money with their new grading policy. the august class 2018 was 1,300 students! Say good bye to good quality of education. Overall, this school has become more of a profit margin/ cash cow for the shareholders. Whoever reads this i am sharing the information so that you are not misinformed by SGU. It used to be reasonable to be an MD through SGU back in early 2000s, but not anymore in 2019.
Wow, thanks for the update. How on earth did so many of their class match into those awesome residencies? How did 930 students graduate this year? I believe that if you are going to become a doctor, research should be your strong suit.Meaning, that you should know all of the exams you will have to take prior to attending and the courses. Therefore, regardless of the how good or bad a professor is, you find the answer doctor. How will you ever correctly diagnose a patient correctly, if one cannot find the initiative to solicit outside sources to understand concepts better. I honestly do not believe your numbers are remotely accurate and I'm questioning if you are really a student at all. If you are, you sound as if you are struggling and seeking a scapegoat to blame your failures on, when you probably just need to stop worrying about everyone else and focus on you. Prime example: Why would a current student be trolling a channel for future students? Especially if you are in medical school (so you say). The reason you are probably struggling, is that you have no time management skills, hence trolling youtube instead of thumbing through Introduction to medicine III, or deciding your clinical rotations if you are in your 5 term or semester (same thing). Don't bash the Harvard of the Caribbean. This is the Top school in the Caribbean and is looked favorably upon by US hospitals. Study harder and stop making excuses, you just make sure you are in the 60% that do pass (according to your numbers only)
@@johnrencher9554 My first comment was made because I do not consider the schools policy to be fair for students. I emphasize fairness. People who read it think that it is because I failed or failing but in the contrary, it is the frustration that I and other classmates have of sgu. To make changes to the curriculum for term 5 (last term on the island) was an obvious bottle neck effect to drop out students. Overall its not fair for students and it's frustrating to study not out of enjoyment but studying out of survival and afraid to be kicked out. Again, there are times that I forget that it is a for profit school.
@@johnrencher9554 and the numbers are very misleading. They accept spring semester about 600 students and fall semester about 1300 students. Overall for the year it is about 1900 students. But their residency placements is 930. So there is a huge gap.
Hey i am going to join in sgu univerty this 2020 . Is it good or not ? Or can u suggest me any other university in carrabien
@@RamaDevi-cw4iq I do not recommend sgu tbh.
When finding schools ask for the following : if classes are mandatory attendance (huge waste of time, so sgu does have mandatory attendance while other schools do not), Class size, curriculum, grading policy, NBME grading policy (final exam to leave term 5) and match rates.
Sgu has a lower match rate for residency than their step 1 passing rates. That's why they don't advertise that info on their website. Sketchy AF..
People I know transfered to Auc and have told me that their curriculum is more fair than sgu. It is hard for me to recommend any other schools since I do not have any contacts.
These are my recommendations you should ask every school you talk to.
Applying this year, thanks for posting this. Its beautiful out there
Applying this year too!
Same here!!
read my info before making a decision. check other schools out if you can.
I always wonder what d dorms look like thanks for sharing
I want to contact with person who allready apply ...i want details about how apply
Hey my sister from a different mother....
Wait does that mean we get to have our own room 😃😦
Very dice 😊😊😊😊
Thanks for this video!! I’m considering applying. I also have a kind of weird question are there a lot of bugs??
Mosquitos yes especially during the rainy season. But not to the point where its overwhelming. But it can be alot. But other than that its hit or miss
Hi dear can you pls mention how many indian students get into residency in st. george.i ask you about the Indian citizens nor American,or Canada Indian.i will be happy if you reply
Hi. Unfortunately I'm not sure of that. For one, I'm in the veterinary and not in the medical school. Also, I'm not very familiar with international (non-US students). I believe you can contact the school and speak to an alumni though and maybe you can ask this question
During the Xmas break, do you have to move all of your stuff out of your dorm?
Typically no, but definitely over summer
Is this only a Medical School? And if so do the med school and undergrad share dorms?
There's a medical and vet school that are both US schools. They often share dorms. The school of arts and sciences has a traditional undergrad, masters, nursing, and doctorate program. However, it's not affiliated with the US in the sense that you can't get US federal loans, but you can still attend. Often, people will go through SGU's undergrad to go to med/vet school since they have a 1-3 year premed/prevet program
I wish i could study here😭😭😭😭😭😭 i still have time but not money
You can take out loans/apply for scholarships. That's how majority of graduate students pay for their degrees 😊
Can you tell me the rent expense for the one bedroom and the two?
What’s the foundations? What kind of scholarships can you apply for?
Foundations is a program that SGU offers if they feel that you need a "bridge" before entering the vet/med school. I'm not sure of any scholarships personally. You might need to check on the financial aid website
Thank you for your videos. I am planing to apply to Saint George and I have been watching all of your videos Hahahah. Do students ride bicycle to school? How far is your apartment from school?
No you don't see many people riding bikes, especially as a main source of transportation. You don't see many bikes on the island in general. My apartment is about 15 mins from campus
Hi
Are the dorm beds comfy or should I bring a mattress pad?
I didn't stay in a dorm, but a friend of mine said bring a mattress pad, even if its thin. Most people do without though
Do you have to share a room?
It depends on the dorm. There are single bedroom dorms; many you have your own, private bedroom and a shared common space
*Is there an option to get a pvt room and rest room (not shared) in the dorms? Also, what do you need to be able to get a permission to live off campus if you wanted to live on your own?*
Yes. When accessing the housing portal you can request a dorm/room that is private with a personal bathroom. Also, to live off campus initially, you need proof of a pet, spouse, child, etc. There is family housing on campus, so sometimes the spouse/child thing won't get you out, but I do know people who lived off campus from day 1 without any of these. I'm just not exactly sure what you say to opt out without talking to housing directly.
@@BrittneyKilgore
OK Thanks.
And are you in the 4 year program? How hard is it to get in?
Whats the average GPA and MCAT you need to have to have better chances of getting in?
@@khaleefax9553 I did the 4 year vet route, so unfortunately I don't know the med school stats. I do know that the average GPA and MCAT is lower than alot of US state schools and the class sizes are large so there's a higher chance of getting in
Can male and female share dorms or no ?
I think primarily its single sex dorms, but it can be coed upon request. Not too sure actually
Can you order from amazon? Will you be able to send packages?
Some private vendors ship here, but not amazon as a whole. You can send packages here via FedEx or the USPS. It can be pretty expensive, and upon recieving the package you have to pay customs. Its best to try to pack everything you'll need each semester or send a barrel with extra things.
hahahaha. no fam. I remember my brother tried to send me a birthday present once. Took 2 months, and all day for to actually get it from the post office downtown.
Hey! I got accepted into SGU for January semester and I have a special needs cat as well so I’m not wanting to live in the dorms. Is the housing lenient with staying off campus if you bring a cat? Is there apartments near the campus. At like walking distance ?
Omg Congratulations! I’m applying for January as well. How was the application process and interview for you?
Bookworm 34 Thanks girl ! The interview is really chill. They just ask you questions like - tell me about time when you were in a leadership role ... etc. You can find all the possible questions online. You will do great ! :)
@@MrJumboshrimp95 Thank you :)
Awesome video! That one kid in the blue looks like a tool that goes to the gym a lot🤔
yeah hes such a frat boy
He ain’t got no muscle though 🤷🏻♂️🤨
o_O? They are using the same lunch box. Is it given to students as in Free stuffs during orientation? or is it coincidence?? Can I know the brand? it looks like I need to get one to survive on the island. :D
Oh that was actually mine haha. But honestly, I just got it at Walmart. Alot of people use lunchboxes, especially if living off campus. Bring lunch and snacks :)
@@BrittneyKilgore Brittney!! Thank you so much!! Your video was extremely helpful for me what to pack.
How's the internet speed like? Can I do some moderate online gaming with my friends?
It depends. Some areas have stronger signals than others, but I do think people game down here. You should be able to find suitable locations to game
Hey britney....do 1st yr undergrads of a 5yr programme have to share rooms
No. Usually you get a suite. So you have a private room and share a bathroom/kitchen
@@BrittneyKilgore thanks for replying🖤
Why didn’t u post anything for independence?
Had to study for an exam ):
