In your third and fourth years, how do caribbean students deal with housing and such when they are doing rotations in the US? Is it a difficult process? Also, for rotations, do you generally do most of them at the same place, or do you have to keep moving all the time?

I think the answer to your question really depends on what school you go to. For instance I go to SGU and a majority of students are at "Clinical Centers" which are hospitals where you can do all of your 3rd year rotations. Some students aren't at these hospitals and have to move around some. SGU does have a list of housing coordinators who can help you with finding a place. I didn't use them or know anyone who did so I can't attest to their usefullness. Most students find housing on their own through classified ads etc.. That's the story at SGU, the other schools I don't know.
