- When I landed at SGU,
the campus was beautiful.
There was sunny, there was
a nice breeze in the air
but everyone was welcoming
and that's what was, you
know, truly important
for that first impression.
The opportunity for a
new family was out there.
- So on campus, an SGU
lifestyle I think is similar
to going to school in the States
except you have this beautiful environment
where you're really focused
on medical education.
Everyone is so focused on this
goal of becoming a doctor.
- Having a good support system
while you're in medical
school with your friends
is something that's really vital.
It definitely showed me
that SGU really wants you
to be a family amongst your peers.
- So I think our school
does a very good job
of keeping the campus
very student oriented.
Everything that we would need
or want is very close by or on campus.
- This is a comprehensive campus.
We have 65 buildings, it
looks like a U.S. campus.
Our brand new dorm is spectacular.
It has a view that would
rival a resort hotel
looking out over the beaches.
We have our new exercise facility.
- Honestly, I started working
out for the first time
while in medical school
because of that gym.
They just had all up-to-date
facilities and equipment.
- We have 24-hour a day restaurants.
We have a variety of food
and entertainment offerings.
We create and incredibly safe
and supportive environment on our campus.
We actually run our own bus service.
- SGU command center (mumbles)
- There's an incredible
security system over here.
There's a control room
where everything is marked
from the weather off the coast of Africa
to hundreds of cameras that
take security into mind.
- We really cater to the unique
needs of all of our students
and try to make them at home
and make the learning environment
as pleasant as possible.
- So, I'm in a handful of associations.
They give you a lot more opportunities
than just sitting in a classroom
And so that's why I
wanted to get involved.
- When I found that there was
an Emergency Medicine club here on campus.
That was something that I
was extremely interested
in becoming a part of.
- Being a part of IEA, the
honor society here on campus,
I've gotten to know a lot
of the past presidents
and they're extremely
successful physicians.
Now when having those
connections all over the world
it's gonna set me up very well
for applying for residency.
- These are the things that
I do that makes me happy.
And this is how I'm gonna
fill in my other gaps with.
This is what I need to do
in order to be successful.
And I think the balance is really good.
The key here.
- One of the really
exciting things about SGU
is the diversity here on campus.
There're so many students that
are from all over the world.
- Not too many other schools
have the type of diversity
that St. George's has.
You've got students from you know,
multiple different countries.
You learn about their
backgrounds, their customs,
their cultures I think
that is crucial, you know
in terms of being able to take
care of people down the road.
You know, as a doctor
you don't see only people
who look and talk like you.
You see people from all
different types of backgrounds.
- There's no other place
where you would meet
this many different types of
people in one tiny school.
- I think it's been a good investment
coming to St. George's.
You can't put a price on experiences
and the experiences that I've
had here have been phenomenal.
- I don't think that
I would have been able
to get the experience that I've gotten
here at SGU anywhere else.
So to me that is invaluable
you can't put a price tag on that.
