Life at 51²è¹Ýapp
The time that students spent in the University or college in which they are studying have a significant impact on shaping them for the rest of their life, both professionally as well as personally.
In educational institutions, it’s not only the quality of education that matters but also the quality of life. For proper education, students’ brains need to be in good shape. That is possible only when they are provided with a friendly environment and facilities for a fulfilling life as they progress in their academics and career.
At 51²è¹Ýapp, we foster an environment to provide a feeling of home away from home. In the campus, the life of students goes beyond education, and students get so much to experience!
Five years that students spend at the University are filled with moments of joy, thrill, learning and each moment takes them to one step closer towards their dream and goal of becoming a doctor. Student Life keeps changing and offered with different facets as student progress through different phases to become a doctor,
While it’s quite not possible for us to enlist all the things that Student Life at 51²è¹Ýapp offers or chronicle all the moments in the lives of our students, we have made an attempt to provide our current and prospective students an opportunity to have a glimpse into the Student Life at the University with a quick go through of a few things that our medical students experience during their journey with us and what wows their experience of medical education in America.
This is for you - all the aspiring doctors! Feeling Excited? Okay! Without Further ado, let’s dive in:
A Warm Welcome and Get Together
The first thing, it is! While formally known as Induction, we call it “A Warm Welcome and Get Together.” Once you land at the University for the first time, you’re welcomed by our staff members and present students and a “Familiar Gathering” is arranged for you.
In the gathering, your colleagues who have been in your shoes will help you get familiar with the University, class schedules, hostel and mess facility, and local atmosphere! And yeah… there is no such thing as junior-senior at 51²è¹Ýapp. Be it your first year or you are about to become a doctor, all the members maintain a behavior of respect and friendliness towards each other and study and live in a disciplined environment.

Further, you will be overwhelmed by the over-friendly —in a good way— Guyanese whose welcoming nature is known all over the world. So, worry not! Be assured that at any point in time, you will not be alone. Take a sigh of relief!

Day-Outs and Picnics
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy and Jill a dull girl! We love to refer to this quote frequently and abide by it. At times, all of us at the University take time-off, arrange picnics and go out to rediscover ourselves, regain our energy and relax.
Our day-outs are made even more exciting by the pleasant climate of Guyana. The country has got beaches, mountains, beautiful rivers and parks and is a popular tourist destination as well.
