Mentorship Program
To assist new students in adapting to a life of medical studies in a foreign land, the Student Government Association sponsors a program of mentorship. In advance of their arrival, matriculating students are matched with more senior students. Acting as guides, the mentors provide practical advice on topics ranging from the optimization of study time to buying a car to finding the grocery store.

Student Counseling
The University of Sint Eustatius recognizes the inherent rigors of medical school and life far from home. In rare instances, these stressors can compromise academic or social functioning. For this reason, the University of Sint Eustatius provides counseling services geared toward the resolution or prevention of problems. Students experiencing difficulty in the management of their academic or personal lives are therefore encouraged to take advantage of the wisdom and experience of the faculty or peer counselors. Appointments may be made at the Administrative Office on Sint Eustatius.
