- Many people tell me that my videos help put them at ease about coming to SGU because they never get to come visit Grenada or campus, so I decided to make a campus tour video! St. George's University is located in Grenada, a small Caribbean island in the lower Caribbean. Since I'm in the vet school, many of my videos have vet emphasis, but this campus tour is inclusive to all.
SGU has a veterinary and medical school that is US based and AVMA / AMA accredited. They also have a School of Arts and Sciences that has traditional "undergrad, graduate, and doctoral" degrees. There is an option to do pre-vet and pre-med here as an American student, but the SAS cohort is largely diverse from students from all over!
Please reach out to me on social media if you have any doubts or uestions. Hope you enjoyed!

Hello! I just wanted to say that I am a new faculty member (this semester, of course teaching remotely for now) and I really appreciate your vlogs! It's given me a better feel and understanding of the campus, especially as I have not yet had the opportunity to visit in person. As someone from the United States, I greatly appreciate it!
I'm really glad! Hooray for joining the SGU family :)
Great video Britt. It is nice to see a tour of the campus from down the hill to up the hill. I think you definitely hit all the spots needed for a prospective student or even new Faculty members to know if they are interested in coming to SGU. Thank you for actually walking around the entire campus to do this. I know it was not easy because SGU has a lot of hills to climb. I appreciate it.
Wow!!! First of all, this campus is HUGE... Did not expect that... Had no idea we have such a beautiful picturesque university... From personal experience I know university can be quite stressful to say the least, due to the huge volume of readings on a daily basis, research papers, not to mention studying; but I imagine the beautiful view and sea breeze is somewhat therapeutic and helps... Always wished for shuttle buses in my university when my tired ass have to tread from classes to classes, only to find out this service is available on my native land 😏... Like you I am not a fan of quiet study space to an extent... I like noise around me, even at home... As I’m sure you can tell, I enjoyed this vlog... I found it to be quite informative and eye opening... Great job 👍🏽👍🏽... Happy I came across your channel...
Btw wish you had some food for the kitty as well :)... Also good luck with your studies...
I do too! I've been feeding 3 cats on my property. They come everyday lol BUt I'm glad you enjoyed!
I think some of the people you walked by knew about your channel. It’s was like oh there’s Britney shooting a video for her TH-cam channel. That cat thought it was getting a couple treats for sure 😂
I felt so bad for not having anything for the cat lol and yeah. I still feel shy recording sometimes but I still speak if people call my name or say hi of course
Thank you for the Tour. I left SGU in 2010. Some of these dorm buildings were just beginning to be built when I left. But on a whole a lot has been improved. Even the Student Center, i didn't even know that is what is was called. There was just one place there where you could buy snacks and stuff but nothing much. Now there seems to be so many options to buy things there and so much more room. Where the tennis court is now, it was a basketball court. and that was the only court on campus now there are so many more courts. I'm happy for this because I went to SGU in late 2019 and a didn't get to check out any of the improvements. The Belford Beach area is so beautiful. Its just amazing to see how the university looks now
Yeah when I first started, the court in front of the student center was the only one, but since they built Belford and the new court, it allowed for 2 tennis courts. I get a lot of people telling me how much it has expanded.
@@BrittneyKilgore Wow, so a lot has been done very recently. What year did you start again?
@@wilsonsmanz I began Fall 2018. I first visited spring 2018
Thanks for this great video! My daughter just got accepted there yesterday and is moving next weekend! I'm so excited for her to start this next chapter. And I can't wait to visit!
This university is top notch.... *Brittney* I see why you love this place so much 💕.....😊
Hey Brittney, this campus is really beautiful thanks for the tour loved it, great info. look at that sky wishing for some of that sunshine anyway enjoy your day stay bless❤️
Britney your are always soooo informative bout greenz❤💛💚💪
I try! I know my videos are often long but its because I try to be thorough
My name is britney too🙄
Omg so detailed~ 🤩 loving the contents!!
Thanks!!
Thank you for the ture! I am planing to go to SGU soon
Even though am a local and i hv been to SGU a few times i never really went around the whole campus
Thank you💜
I remember the way to be a safe pedestrian in Grenada was to carry a big rock visibly in your hand. Drivers who would otherwise be reckless would make an effort to avoid you because they knew that rock could be headed their way if they almost hit you.

Wow😂
Great tour!!! I miss this beautiful campus, thanks for sharing!!! 💯😊
Loved, loved looooved this video🤩❤️ Thank you so much. Planning on applying to SGU for the 2023 academic year lol😂✋🏾 Hope to meet you🥺🤌🏽
I'll have graduated haha but I'm sure I'll be back to visit Grenada :)
thank you for telling us about the bathroom girl LOLOL saved my life
I attended SGUSOM in the 1990's. I'm hoping folks aren't having too much trouble getting US residencies as FMGs nowadays. It was tough struggle in my time but somehow I was able to get to Brown University for my residency with a chief resident year, and today I am in practice in California teaching medical residents at Stanford University. I know you're vet but this brings back so many memories even though just about everything changed.
That's amazing! I don't think it's AS hard, but I definitely think there's still bias against IMGs. My girlfriend is in the SOM at SGU and is getting ready to take her STEP 1 in a week and starts clinicals in May. She's told me plenty of times how important it is for even applying to residencies at the end of med school.
Also, what kind of doctor are you my gf asked :)Any tips/recommendations?
@@BrittneyKilgore I'm an internal medicine provider doing outpatient primary care. Yes, I have a lot of advice. Do you have a safe or "burner" email address I can write to? I don't want to post it publicly.
I hope you give back to SGU alumni/students!
Enjoy your video is so nice hope you have fun for the rest of your time in Grenada 👌
I was last there in 2006 . Wow how it’s changed.
Thanks again Brittney it's was a beautiful tour.
Best SGU vid yet.
hi, ive been getting ads about the school and i wonder if they have internships or any programs like that! also i love ur vid showing everything!! it reminds me of my campus a bit in puerto rico xo
Thank you I’ve been trying to get my son to show me around but he had been busy studying 🤣
Really appreciate this. Sadly I may not be able to attend Sgu 🥺😭, I applied to Poland and Lithuania tho. My family and I can't afford Sgu, but my best friend applied so hopefully I'll at least get to visit the school
Hopefully you can visit but good luck regardless of where you end up going! You'll do great :)
Ukraine is cheaper than both Poland and Lithuania with high quality teaching. Great country to study in.
@@jameso thanks for your suggestion. I looked into it tho, and a friend of mine who studied their as well as alot of current and past students told me it's great affordability wise, however, the teaching is less than subpar
I pray the best to you as well. How did you make out? Let us know!
The person who dislikes this video needs to get a life
So you're assigned a mailbox even if you live off campus? That's really good to know. My husband and I will be moving March 25th and I'm so excited for this
Yes! Your mailbox stays the same from start to finish on island. Your locker changes each term that you opt to get one :)
@@BrittneyKilgore But so like if my family mails a package to me using the format provided on the SGU website:
FULL NAME, TERM (EX. JOHN SMITH, TERM 1)
ST. GEORGE’S UNIVERSITY
YOUR SCHOOL (EX. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE)
ST. GEORGE’S, GRENADA, WEST INDIES
Then is this the best way for me to receive packages? And I'd just be able to pick them up at the post office? Because my address for my apartment really isn't much of an address and it's confusing how to receive packages
@@erican.5653 Hi! So yes you have to use the SGU mailbox. Mail isn't delivered to apartments or houses. You have to go in person to the mailboxes. Even if you were a citizen, you'd have a "p.o" box. So as a student, yours is the SGU one. Once the package arrives in Grenada at the St. George's (the town not the school) Main post office, you'll receive a slip in your SGU mailbox to retrieve it. You also have to pay taxes on packages (another reason why it can't just be delivered)
@@BrittneyKilgore You are an absolute lifesaver! Thanks!
I'm so proud to be an SGU alumni 🙏
Did u match
Liked & Subscribed! My stepdaughter is scheduled to attend starting in January. Do you have tips or info on where parents can stay? We plan to go with her when she heads down and we will make a "vacation" of it.
Any of the hotels in the are. True Blue Resort is the closest to campus, but the Radisson, Coyaba, and Kalinago, and Calabash are other popular ones nearby!
Nice tour I always was there because my dad was a security I miss it
this is awesome!!!! thank you!
Beautiful campus.👍🇬🇩
Love this video btw😍
Great video! Thanks!
This actually looks good! Did you get a chance to visit Ross? What didn’t you like about it?
I did! i visited both before committing to SGU. My cons about Ross was the size of Ross (it's a much smaller campus since its only vet) and I wanted a bigger student life; I thought SGU's campus was beautiful and bigger, especially me coming from a larger school for undergrad. I also didn't like that Ross went year round. I wanted my breaks haha. Andddd I just liked Grenada more lol
@@BrittneyKilgore lol I feel. I want my breaks too, it will bring some balance for my child.but it might also help to get that extra semester to finish up early if I want to🙈. Hey, what’s the rush!?Tkx for your insights!
so beautiful too bad where i live covid is on a huge spike
Hey, im a senior in undergrad that is about to start applying and just had a few questions. Would you say that it is harder for caribbean students to get accepted into specialties after graduation, or would you say that it is still on par with state schools? I am looking at going into a mixed practice with a focus on cattle in the future and didn't know if the caribbean schools were good for that specific part of the field, as I have heard the caribbean schools mainly focus on small animals. Also, is the burnout as tough as everyone says with the accelerated schedule? There is a lot of conflicting info on the internet and just wanted some advice from someone who has actually been through the program. Great tour and appreciate your content
SGU is a normal 4 year school. Ross is another caribbean vet school in St. Kitts and it is accelerated. Regardless of where you go in-state or in the caribbean, we all take the same license exam and have the same standards for curriculum. You still learn about large animals and have large animal labs on island. Then, during your 4th year, you go do clinical rotations back in the US anyways and can track large animals and do interest-specific externships (like cattle work for you) at this time.
Thank you Brittney
I’m surprised most students don’t have one of those little electric scooters to get around campus.
Right! Or the little hover board things
@@BrittneyKilgore Is that allowed to bring on campus? I have one electric scooter that I would like to bring.
@@carleencastro1957 Like the Lyft/Bird electric scooter types? I'm not sure. Those aren't found in Grenada period, so I'm not sure if it would be allowed... motor scooters are parked in designated areas, but not sure about electric ones. It would probably be very expensive to import, but you can maybe inquire
Hi Brittney. Hope the semester has started well for you. Did you ever video the convenience store? I know you mentioned it, but am curious to see the extent of what they have there, as well as how pricing compares to what you would pay at IGA or the other food stores.
When I made this video it was closed. Most of campus was still closed at this recording due to COVID. The campus store has almost anything you could need, but its MUCH higher than IGA. If you need something quick, it's nice to be on campus, but if it can wait I'd get it at IGA. (of course snacks or drinks typically aren't as high)
@@BrittneyKilgore Thanks Brittney
Gotcha!
Me gusto mucho tu vídeo! Muy bonito. Me gustaría que mis hijos estudiaran allí.
Gracias. Me encanta esta escuela y isla. Son muy bonitas y muchos estudiantes sienten lo mismo.
Hi, as a LGBTQ human, what is it like being a veterinary student there? I wondered if it is supported or anything? I assume on a college campus it is more normalised but i looked on their website and there is no lgbt organization or anything?
Hi! There is an LGBT organization at SGU. It's called SGU Pride & Equality. Also, within the SVM, there's an organization under SAVMA called VOICE and it strongly supports the LGBT+ community. There are many people in the community around campus. I've never felt unsafe in Grenada. It's frowned upon sure, but I've never felt in harm's way. It's not something I "flaunt" in the street, but me and my gf have been on many obvious dates and outings and nothing happens. Similarly, i Have a male gay friend who is publicly out and same thing.
Thank you so so much!
I love your voice!
Questions: if you live off campus does the school pay for you to live there or no? And does the school allow you to have a pet staying in the dorm room with you?
No...the school doesn't pay for housing on or off campus. And pets aren't allowed in any dorms
@@BrittneyKilgore ok 👌
Hey, I’m flying to Grenada on the 17th from ATL and wanted to know where do you thing the best place to quarantine would be?
Not trying to spend too much since I won’t be able to leave my room.
Cool Running Apartments has a $65/night option. It's about the cheapest I found
Hi Brittney! I'm PreVet and got accepted into SGU this past fall application cycle (for Fall 2022). I've been really considering if this school is somewhere for me and somewhere I want to go. As you were giving us the tour, I was wondering about local costs and prices for everyday living expenses ie. food/groceries/toiletries etc. Just been trying to look at the reality of the situation and if it's feasible for me to go there. Since it is in fact in the Carribean, me being in the US and that far from home has doubts along with it. But things like this allow me to keep my eyes open to the possibilities. Thank you!!
There's definitely extra costs associated going over seas like flights and cost of living. I have a few videos but I also really like giving people honest insight and details (if they want it). If you want, we can chat on Instagram, Facebook, or email and I can give you more details on costs and things like that? Easier than a youtube comment lol
@@BrittneyKilgore That would be wonderful! I could do facebook or email. Not sure how to direct message here on youtube :)
@@BrittneyKilgore Hi👋🏾 I may be attending the FTV program Fall 2022. Are you still available for Instagram chat?
@@gloriannawright9366 Yes yes by all means!
@@BrittneyKilgore Great! I will be visiting Grenada in the next two weeks but i know you are not there right now correct? If not, when are you available to have a chat. I am available anytime after 5pm
Hi, I'm interested in SGU's Clinical Community Psychology program, but I haven't seen anyone actually talk about the program, do you know anything about it ? is it as prestige and recognize as the med and vet school?
I'm not familiar with it. In the US, the med and vet program are well known. I know people in the school of arts and sciences who major in pyschology. This may be what you're referring to? But outside of that, I myself don't have much info
Hi ! I enjoy very much your videos
Yes they do! We have students from all over the world including Europe! You would just apply via SGU's website :)
@@BrittneyKilgore thank you very much !!!☺️
So sorry to bother you again but I had one more question! After your PCR test you take on day 5 comes back negative, do you still have to exclusively stay in your apartment the rest of the 14 days quarantine or can you go like into IGA yourself and into town?
Side note your videos have helped me sooooo much recently! Even just trying to talk to some of the admissions department at SGU. They kept telling me that campus is 100% closed right now as in no one is allowed to step one foot on campus but I was even there a couple of months ago on a tour and people were using the gym and stuff too and I was like no definitely some parts of campus are at least open and mentioned that there are multiple channels including yours showing what campus is like at the moment. I guess they thought the whole island was a ghost town and thought students weren't allowed in Grenada at all but letting them know after seeing your videos helped us sort out everything with them so we can move at the end of March. I cannot thank you enough for how helpful you've been!
So you take your test on day 5. And on day 7, if negative, the MOH will contact the place you're staying and let you know you can leave. Some people get the notification as earlier as 8am and others have heard as late as 9-10pm lol But they contact the place you're quaranting, not you directly. You'd only have to quarantine the full 14 days if your test were positive. Other than that, the quarantine is just 7 days.
@@erican.5653 Yeah unfortunately a lot of the time admissions people are clueless since they're based in NY. Often they're unaware of hat's going on in Grenada and many have never visited or are unfamiliar with how things run here. They're advertising the school as "closed" so there's not a mass influx of students coming down to the island, but in my opinion, if it's online 100% still, not THAT many students are going to opt to come down here ya know. I'm glad my videos helped!
If I’m not a student I won’t have the ID card … Can’t I have access to the place for visiting ?
You can. You just tell them where you wanna go at the security booth and they give you a visitor's pass. It doesn't limit where you can go so you're free to roam I guess
What is the co$t???
23rd. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Did you bring Toulouse back with you?
If so, were there any issues with travelling with him?
I'd like to bring my dog with me but I'm wondering if there will be increased difficulties now
Any idea if sgu allows for student transfers?
I'm not sure
Are students allowed to live on campus right now?
I don't believe so
My alma mater…
Are you a Veterinarian student?
Yes. I finish in January 2023 though so almost done :)
Hey BRITTNEY I noticed you didn't mention SIR ERIC GAIRY HALL, sup with that? Are you aware of the fact that he's the one that made SGU possible So that you can do the things you're doing right this minute? nice video tho thx.
Yes I am aware. Also, I did mention Eric Gary Hall as the newest dorm, but I didn't really dive deep into anyone's name.
Please I am interested in st George can you help me out get scholarship I will like to need your help
I'm a US student and don't qualify for most of the scholarships in the vet page. I would recommend checking the financial aid page for the school you're applying into for specific scholarships (veterinary, medicine, school of arts & science, etc)
