So i'm thinking of attending 1 of these universities in the near future, since i really need get outta da states. Bear in mind, i've never been to either of these countries let alone universities. I know there's no comparison for first hand experience but would u all be so kind as to break down some of da advantages of each. Culture wise, university life, academics...i'm leaning a bit towards st. augustine because trinidad is sounding real nice rite now but i'd also like to know whats good in barbados. All opinions wanted, so help a brudda out.

See Ras_Apache's post about what you might expect in Trinidad trinidad and jamaica = an unbiased comparison....

Not specific to UWI, but should give you an idea as to the country and life there.

If I were you I'd consider going to a school here in the US then maybe doing a semester at UWI to see what it was like rather than just making the jump juss so.

kinda depends on what yor area of study is.

whats ur major? choose the school that offers ah better program in ur major!!!

St. Augustine your dollar will definitely stretch further.....since accomodation, food, just about everyting in B'dos is more expensive than TnT...

However Cave Hill is a nice intimate Campus....it is not as big as St. Augustine and its easy to get around.....

Crime at Cave Hill is also less that at St. Augustine from what i have been told.....students always comment on how u can walk around at night and not be afraid like on some of the other campuses

Other perk for Cave Hill which non-Caribean students like is the beach which is right down the hill....cant beat that


But UWI on the whole for studying might offer a bit of a culture shock especially if u are accustom to the American system......I would suggest u consider BnS option of maybe doing a term at UWI in some kinda exchange programme.....

but arent all the programmes at UWI similar across Campuses.....

I thought the only difference was that some campuses cover specific areas that others didnt

eg. Cave Hill does Law, Monda use to be for Medicine, St, Augustine for Agriculture Science
