Someone on Facebook reached out to me and this is the response I got in regards to the quarantine process. It was a really helpful response so I wanted to share
I’m starting in May, but I know there’s a few on here who are also starting in the fall.
I haven't accepted my seat yet, I've been waiting to receive all of my decisions first, but now that that's done I'll be accepting my seat withing the next few weeks.
thank you!!
No! I haven't! Have you?! I'm very eager to get mine
No im still waiting!!
No im still waiting!!
I’m in vet prep for fall 2019 too flights can be booked anytime, but we have to notify them of our scheduled flight by June 1st. They advise flying in between Aug 23-25 (fri-sun), that is when on campus housing will be ready and buses available to take you from the airport to housing.
Congrats!!! Have you received the welcome package yet?
I have not. One of the emails mentioned getting it in May after the May semester students get settled in.
Any semester can participate in the study. You either get the rabies vaccine or a saline shot, then you find out what you get at the end of the semester. It’s a potentially free vaccine. Otherwise, I believe the series is around $200usd
I have yet to get mine too
I havent yet, I’ll be starting vet prep this fall
no not yet!
I just got mine today!!
Prooooobably not one you want to skip.... you usually get hep a from contaminated food and water and it’s recommended by the CDC for most travelers. I’d probably still try and get it, even if you have to get the 2nd dose in St Kitts or if you come home for Christmas (if you get a short break around then).
Mine was under review for about 5 weeks, but that was over the winter holidays. I know some people who heard back within two weeks, it just kind of varies. Good luck to you!!
Third semester is not chill. Don’t let them lie to you like they lied to me.You should be okay! I moved from the Sept semester to May semester last minute and was able to get everything done within a month. I also have a friend who decided to start in May two weeks before orientation and was able to get all her stuff done too. It’s not ideal, but it’s definitely possible! Hopefully you’ll have more notice than that though!
I honestly love the island. Yeah it has its quirks, but I don’t mind them too much. Everyone is different though and it’s not unusual to need a little bit of adjustment—which is totally understandable! I miss some of the conveniences of home, but overall am really enjoying my experience here. Also, everyone is in the same boat where we’ve all moved somewhere new, so it really helps you to feel like a family IMO.
Only a month in and the pace is fast, but I’m finding it manageable (so far at least lol). I’ve heard it gets a little more intense next semester, then third semester is a little chill before getting more intense again in fourth. Just basing it off of other students I’ve talked to.
And I joined a few different clubs—and actually already became an officer in one haha. They have a club fair near the beginning of the semester where all the clubs set up booths and you can get info/join.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, always happy to help
