I agree with you. I cannot and do not want to study in such conditions either. From what I've read, www.valuemd.com, every building on campus have air conditioning. Can you imagine anatomy without air conditioning? LOL. ewwww.

alright folks, sorry to rain on any optimistic , school spirit parades but i attended SGU for half a semester and it is really hot AND humid down there. dont kid yourself it really is and atleast in grenada there is only A/C in the dorms and the lecture halls and library and honestly it is never really cold. I turn the thermostat at home to 75 F during the day and 72 at night and i was dying of heat in that library and in the lecture hall you could see the sweat on peoples shirts while everyone fanned themselves.
the temperature there felt like the thermostat was set at about 80F.

from one A/C aficionado to another, the only place i could of getting one down there would be at the hardware store in spiceland mall. and honestly i am not sure if they would have one. if you stay on campus your first term which i do recomend being also that there is really not much to do off campus(seriously the island is just really underdeveloped) there will be A/C but no chance of you controlling the thermostat much. take a fan for sure. also take a really good heavy duty power strip and buy an electricity converter there at the hardware store i mentioned.
after first term when you move off campus you can get your own AC and live more according to your own standards. but forget about going to a restaurant and eating in A/C it doesnt exist there.
if living conditions are important to you, i have heard and seen pictures of AUC and it seems like that island is much more developed and comfortable. not to bash SGU, i think their academics are outstanding but if you are like me and need some 'comfort' then think about it. it is all about going down there to study but when you need to distract yourself and the biggest building on the island is the library at school which you practically live in well it is tough to get distracted other than by getting drunk. so again, if quality of living is important to you really consider your options.
most people on this forum and the other one sugarcoat the conditions there. they are 'whistling in the dar' to keep themselves optimistic about things and pretending it isnt as rough as it is. it is a great survival tactic but also a disservice to all of those trying to find out what they are really getting into.
i left(for good), and i really tried to stay but could not imagine living like that for another year and a half. most people deal and do make it though. maybe you should hop on a plane and take a look at the islands, i wish i would of done that. SGU will deduct whatever travel expenses you uncur to your tuition if you register. my decision would of been different and things would of been easier and less expensive for me.
