You will spend 20 months studying Basic Sciences in medical school--where your school is located does make a difference.
- Is it easy to get to?
- What is the living environment like?
- What is there to do when you are not studying?
On these and other questions, MUA's location on the island of Nevis has alot to offer:
Easy to Get To: Nevis is 200 miles southeast of Puerto Rico, which is a major point of entry to the Caribbean and served by direct flights from numerous locations throughout the U.S. There are regularly scheduled flights from San Juan to Nevis and also from Antigua, St. Maarten and St. Kitts. (There are also weekly direct flights to St. Kitts from the U.S.)
Living Environment: Tourists have long come to Nevis to enjoy the warm Caribbean water, bask on the white sand beaches, hike the rain forest, snorkel and dive the reefs and investigate the ruins of the sugar cane era that dot the island. The island is known for its excellent restaurants and charming inns--many of them old plantation "great houses." Nevis is safe and, although it has first-rate tourist accommodations and amenities, remains very much a low-key destination. Because of that, Nevis lacks many of the distractions that can interfere with studying.
Things to Do: When you have time off from your studies, you will find that Nevis has alot to offer: beautiful beaches, snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, biking and much more.
