I remember when I was applying to medical schools I’ve always been curious as to what the campuses of these schools look like, besides what they show on their websites. St. George’s University, of course, has pictures of their campus all over their site, because they are the largest school, and obviously have a very large, very beautiful campus as well, worthy to be shown. For Ross University, campus pictures took me a little more effort to find. In fact, it was actually searching for Ross pics that led me to Kendra’s blog, which inspired me to make a blog myself. For AUC, there were personal sites and photo galleries of students here and there, but not many that could orient the viewer as to what they were looking at.
Among the “Big Three” Caribbean medical schools, AUC is probably the smallest, with the smallest class size (~180 per September semester), the smallest number of divisions (only one school of medicine), and probably the smallest campus as well. The campus may be small, but it is nice and cute, well-maintained, and has an extraordinary view. The entire campus is surrounded by a wall, which gives it a realm of its own, outside the distractions of the “real world” that lay beyond the walls, yet easily accessible to it as well. This “bubble” creates an academic atmosphere and fosters a familiar sense of community for all that come into it. There’s just an unexplainable charm here.
So here, inspired by Netter’s Atlas, I’ve put together a pictorial atlas for whoever is interested in seeing what AUC’s campus looks like from the outside, complete with labels and campus boundaries marked in red. For pictures of the inside of the dorm rooms, please refer here. For pictures of the classrooms, please see here. Enjoy!
Please note that:
- Everything that is on campus I have labeled in red.
- Everything that is off-campus, such as surrounding roads, landmarks, and apartments, I have labeled with white or black.
- I labelled ICM as a separate “building” because even though it physically shares a wall with the main building, it was not originally part of that building but a later addition that is accessible only from the outside, as if it were a separate building.
