Friend,
All the things that this college states and stamds for is nothing but total lies. After paying all the fees and coming here to St lucia, students realize that this was nothing less then a scam. The college operates in a rented apartment with staff which is very under qualified and administration full of people who are not at all scared to even show fake documents. The university has got a provisional license from faimer and imed and will be cancelled as soon as an inspection team visits st Lucia. My advice to all those serious parents and children who want to become real doctors and do good in life is to stay away from AIMU… All they care for is money!! BEWARE!!!
