Many things about Saba, the island, make Saba University School of Medicine an extremely desirable place to attend medical school. Saba is a beautiful country—its nickname is the “Unspoiled Queen”—and it's also extremely safe. Discriminating tourists have long sought out Saba for its diving, restaurants, charming inns and stunning Caribbean vistas.
Housing and living costs on Saba are significantly lower than you will find at other schools with comparable recognition. Local grocery stores stock food items to meet the full range of dietary needs. The school enjoys good relations with the local population.
Because Saba is small and off the well-worn tourist track, it lacks many of the distractions that can interfere with studying. Still, when not studying, there is always plenty to do, from hiking to deep-sea diving. There is also an on-campus fitness center.
