Term after term, sixth term SVM students happily leave the island, bounding onto their flights with grins and sunburns. Most students are quite pleased to be leaving a second-world country and returning to the good ol' US of A. Then why, you may ask, have a large contingent of students from an American Veterinary School sought to earn their fourth year credits here at SGU?
The students point out that St. George's University is "a unique learning opportunity" with an "unmatched exotics program" and "no [expletive] snow." The students said that they were excited to be accepted to Minnesota's veterinary program but sought to finish elsewhere after experiencing a very harsh winter. Said one student, "I tried to dig out my car one day and I ended up finding a frozen woolly mammoth. It's interesting and all, but this is bulls---." When asked to elaborate, the student said, "it's just so much [expletive] snow, you can't even imagine how much [expletive] snow we get here. From [expletive] August to [expletive] June there's [expletive] snow on the ground."
Besides the obvious climate advantages of Grenada over the near-arctic, the students unanimously felt that Minnesota is "really boring when you're not spending every waking moment trying to stay warm."
Curiously, when the possibility of an exchange program was presented to the respective classes at SGU and UM, a number of students at both universities were injured in the stampede for applications.
