Housing and Health Care

Bucknell in Barbados

 HOUSING

Bucknell students in Barbados typically live on the campus of the UWI.  The halls of residence at UWI are similar to our Gateway apartments -- single rooms, shared kitchens, a living room, etc.  Laundry facilities are available.  However, should on campus housing become unavailable, Bucknell will locate accommodations for the students near the campus.  Students wishing to make their own arrangements must notify the director of the program at the time of application.

HEALTH CARE

The UWI has a health clinic on campus; but should any student need major medical care, the professor-in-residence would secure the services of an appropriate medical specialist and take the student to one of the several hospitals on the island. Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the largest hospital, is a teaching hospital of the UWI.
