This video is for incoming Term 1 students. These are some items that I highly recommend bringing with you.
( Long video, maybe watch at a faster playback speed)
***Honorable Mentions:***
- A physical copy of the First Aid book for Step 1 (especially if you like having physical copies of textbooks over PDF copies)
-Coffee Maker
-A Power strip extension (for more plugs)
-Full length Mirror (would be nice to have, hard to pack, but would be expensive to buy on the island)

i'm dying at how he was lit in the beginning and went so professional right afterwards LOOOOL !!
DaughterofaGod Hahahah my whole life is like that.
Thank you so much! As an SGU student I wish I would’ve found your channel and had all these tips before coming here- I acquired all those things much later and it made the world of a difference. I have no idea how I survived without them. This is MOONGOLD everyone!!
Oh snap! Thank you so much Giselle, I appreciate it.. a lot
hey Giselle. how did you go about the application process. i really want to go to SGU.. HELP!!
Hey girl, how has your experience been so far?
Thanks for all the great tips!
This is an awesome video, thanks a lot. Got into SGU and moving in a couple of months. Please, do a video about the iPad note taking and the room/dorms as you mention when you get a time. I’m following your channel, so i most likely will come up with more questions along the way. Thanks again.
Thank you Amado, congratulations man! Hit me up any time you have some questions.. and I'm working on the videos. trying to make it informative but still entertaining, you know? haha. thanks man good luck
Nice channel man. Keep the vids coming. I'm looking forward to seeing a new med school students journey.
Ayyy thanks man, means a lot. . I will be doing my best to pump out these videos. Thank you .
Glad I found this. Going to campus in the fall. currently T2 at SGU, will be T4 for fall term. Some very helpful tips. Thanks, Sean!
Scott. My man. Thanks for letting me know buddy. That’s great man. Make some good friends and have a good study group. It’s crucial. Best of luck man
yup, the iPad Pro is a literal game-changer for med students.
What is the advantage of the iPad Pro? I have a surface pro 4 and don't want to let it go.
Awesome opening!
Great advise!!!
I'm here to compare Caribbean meds and Chinese. As an international student for chinese university. the top list is always bring food from home, all those snacks and medication. the rest can be bought later. guessing food don't matter
hey good advice, can you please do a dorm tour.
Did you bring all of this in a suitcase? How did you get it done to Grenada?
Kool...glad to find someone else doing SGU videos. I think we r in the same term. If u ever want to collaborate let me know
Yaasss. Let me get a little better at these videos first. Keep it up :)
you forgot the snowcone machine
It's crazy how many things were have to pack for comfortable living and I love your insight. But how are we supposed to fit them all into 2 suitcases with laundry detergent, kitchen and dining stuff too? How did you fit them all? Did you cook?
Sally hey sorry for the late reply. You can get all your kitchen and laundry detergent stuff here but if there are certain items you love to cook/eat with then bring it. But yeah it’s tough to pack everything. You can bring the essentials your first term. And bring all the rest in your second term. You can also find your future roommates on Facebook and discuss what you’re bringing with them to save space. Don’t forget that Brita pitcher though!!!
Wuhhhhsuuup cuhhhhzinnnn

You a handsome ass doctor
What made you choose SGU for medical school? The reason why I asked is because I personally may try going there if I failed to get into a medical school in the USA (both MD and DO).
Hey! yeah the reason for me was because of timing. I didn''t think i was going to be able to get into a US med school. and I basically didnt want to wait another year and a half to retake my MCAT apply and wait for interviews (if i was lucky enough to get any). so i applied to sgu, i got in, and i was able to start almost right away. and i am glad i did.
I know it sounds too much ,but for me it isn't. This the first time in my life that I have indescribable feelings for someone when I look his face. Everything on you is literally perfect. I just wanna let you know that I will wait for you. Its okay and totally understandable if you choose not to answer, cheers.
Did you do the global scholars program in Newcastle, UK? If you did/didn't, can you explain why you chose the path that you did? I'm planning on applying to SGU but not sure if I should go straight to the island or do 1 year in the UK first. I'm a Canadian btw so the loan issue that American students face if they choose the KBT program wouldn't be an issue. Also, do you prefer having physical copies of the textbooks or PDF versions?
Hey awesome questions. I did not do the KBT program. it sounded nice but like you mentioned the student loan process was an issue. also to be honest i wasn't very interested in going to UK for my first year. I wanted to be on the island from the start. idk why, but i felt it would be better to get my bearings that way. Its also a very small class that you will be in if in the UK, like 60-100 people. i did not want to be in such a small environment. i do know that people who do go there can go country hopping on their down time. so it is completely up to you. i am happy i was in Grenada from the start. also, i always used to be a physical textbook kind of guy. but ever since the Ipad Pro with the apple pencil i never looked back. it makes things in medical school much easier. all your books in one device. makes highlighting and annotating much easier. and searching for topics much faster. i didnt use a single physical copy of my textbooks. i only recommend buying a physical copy of First Aid, just in case. thats the book that matters
You're hilarious!🤣🤣
Thanks for watching
Hey Bro, I just arrived on the campus a couple days ago. I just had a quick question. I see you have a Razer laptop...did your charger ever stop working on you? And how has the battery life been for lecture? I have one too and was just thinking that I should've brought along another charger just in case. Thanks in advance!
Awesome dude. welcome to the island. hope you're adjusting well. You know I have had it for one full year now, and I have had no critical failure type of problems with it. Although i have heard about it being faulty on forum threads. But I wouldn't worry. My charger even has a tiny bit of coil whine which was super scary at first, but nothing has happened still. So you should be good. Its been holding up. ohh just be careful when you place stuff on your shelves. I use to place my deodorant on the shelf near the edge for easy access, but it eventually fell straight down on my laptop, denting the back of the monitor.... leaving a little white mark on my screen. :(
let me know if you got any questions.
Sean Darmal okay that's good news and I'll definitely be careful. Thanks bro.
I'll try to find you on Facebook. I'll definitely send you a message if I have any questions.
If you don’t mind me asking, which dorm are you staying in? I’m moving into St. David’s Hall in January and I’m looking for a dorm tour on TH-cam of either St. David’s or one similar.
Hey. Yes St. David’s is pretty good. It’s similar to Morris Alpert’s which is where I live. I will upload a video shortly doing a dorm tour of a few rooms.
Sean Darmal great! Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing. Are the bathroom outside of your room. What is the name of your Dorm?
no problem. the dorm room this video was taken in is called morris alpert. and yes these are the triple dorms. where each student has their own bedroom but the single bathroom, shower, and kitchen is shared right outside in the rest of the suite. you can get a better idea in my other video of the dorm room tour. the video icon is the toilet seat
What stand did you get for your laptop? I'm looking into getting one too, and yours looks sick!

i got this stand, its a little big, it can fold up flat. but if youre keeping it in your room only then its fine, but if you want something you can throw in our bag easily, i might recommend one of the tiny stands that look like an X and they collapse easily too.
@@SeanDarmal Thank you!
Genuine question that I can't seem to find the answer for anywhere, but do you guys get long enough breaks to come back home and visit (summer breaks, month off etc.)? I'm looking into applying to SGU except for the vet school!
Hey! So the breaks for the medical program generally work out as 3-4 weeks off for winter break, and our summer was 6 weeks(we had a really short summer because we had to come in 6 weeks early in order to do our term 3, which is a quick 6 week term).. where other students got a full 12 weeks off for summer and just got back to the island. it seems like for the vet program, it follows pretty closely with the normal college semester vacations. one thing is that some holidays are not recognized here, like thanksgiving or spring break i think. But you can definitely find time to get away and get back home, its especially easier if you live on the east coast. I will send you the link for the schedule for vet. check your inbox
actually i dont know how to message people here. hahah here is the link hope it works. let me know if it doesn't. www.sgu.edu/accepted-students/dates-to-remember/academic-calendars/#toggle-id-5
if you cant make sense of it let me know
Thanks so much! So basically it's just like North American schools with a semester starting from August-December, and then January to May?
Tanya yeah, it should be just around those date 👍🏽
Hey bro, how much have you spent on books, tuition, food, and living?
What’s up cousin. Books are part of tuition. It’s like an extra grand+. Your student loans come out to roughly roughly 90k a year and then you get 7-10k left over for spending. Rent comes out to a fair price. Like the dorms came out to 1300 a month if I remember correctly
Hey there, firstly ty so much dat u exist, i was some1 from sgu who can help through all this in detail. I am from india n i have applied to SGU and hopefully with in a week i will be interviewing, so can u plz help me with, wat kind of a qstns. They can ask, how it works ?
Hey, congratulations. thank you for that too. i really appreciate it. since you're in india i'm sure they will be doing a skype interview. what made me feel better was knowing that it was a very casual interview and the person who will be interviewing you is most likely a recent graduate from the school. so they are normal people just like you and I. they asked the standard interview questions, most importantly "why medicine?". so if you can have a short and concise answer that can tell a lot about yourself and your desires then you will be good. i suggest you don't go into the "i wanna help people" answer, even if thats why you are doing it. i only say that because any interviewer probably hears that 100 times a day. so try to be honest with yourself and with your interviewer, that will only help you, and help you stand out more. do some self reflecting and get down to what really drives you and try to turn that into a short, clear answer. also i think they asked "what i think was a problem that faced medicine and the medical community today".. I'm sure coming from India, especially in certain regions, you see that there is limited access to health care.. things like this. again its a very relaxed interview, Be confident with yourself. and again remember that they are seeing if you're a normal person and if they would want to work with you in the future. good luck
Thank u sooo very much, this really means allooott to me. ❤❤❤
Where is that iPad video you promissed?
It’s there. Try look again. “How you use an iPad in med school” something. Like that
What laptop do you need???
You can get by with any type of laptop that will run I do suggest getting an iPad for your daily note taking and studying. You need your laptop for exams
Q1. Can you buy stuffs from amazon while staying in Grenada. If yes, How much do I need to expect for shipping fee and time to get there??
Hey Joseph. It’s basically very impractical to buy stuff from amazon while out on the island. I’m sure it will get here to the school. Time frame is maybe around 2 weeks (hard to say because everything needs to go through customs). But it will definitely cost wayyy more in shipping. I remember checking when I first got here for an estimate to ship a small book, it was $50 shipping.
So it’s pretty important to bring all your vital necessities with you when you first come here. And then after your first term you can go back home and bring back all the extra stuff that makes you happy and comfortable. So try to get all the necessities down on your first trip.
You can also look into shipping a barrel, or order all your stuff from amazon to your home in the US, and then ask a loved one to ship it all in one care package to you which is a good idea. But be careful if it’s electronics, customs can charge you a lot for import taxes. So again try to bring it all with you.
Thank you SO much Sean. I heard "shipping a barrel" couple of times, but I found that it is literally shipping a barrel. D: . . .. I am thinking of going to SGU or Ross, and your youtube helps me making a decision. :]
@@junegill thank you so much man, thats why I made this channel! I really appreciate it. I will be uploading more videos as soon as I get a small break from classes. Its a little hectic now. But definitely feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions.
@@SeanDarmal :) :) :) I have some stupid questions. Please feel free to answer it. I'm a huge coffee addict, and I am not sure if I need to bring electric teapots and coffee presser to make my own coffee in case of living in the on-campus housing. Also, you recommend bringing a shoes dryer, but would it make smelly for the whole room?? That's my two stupid questions. :D
If your an android user... you can also get a galaxy tab with a pencil.
Have you heard anything about AUA. I have recently been accepted there.
congrats! but no i am sorry i havent heard anything about that place. have you applied to SGU as well?
Sean Darmal yeah I did and was accepted to a prepare program and I do not want to waste a semester or the money so I’m just going to go to AUA. It just recently moved to be in the big 5 for Caribbean medical schools.
@@adamohio78 okay cool man congratulations. Thats good then. Was it the Charter Foundations Program? I understand where you are coming from though, time is a big factor. Best of luck buddy
↗️↗️↗️↗️↗️
40% make it past term 5
You probably went there to play! If its only 1 person that makes it, its gonna be me!
This is quite accurate
Stay far, far away from SGU. Run
They changed their grading and passing policies drastically.
Do not recommend this school to anyone.
Larry V How did they change their grading policies?
Why?
