AUC Merp Jan'13

Hey everyone. Long time lurker, but the lack of MERP threads on AUC made me finally create an account. Anyway I have been accepted to the MERP program for january 2013 semester (actually classes begin dec 4). Anyway I had some questions about this. After doing some research it turns out that the program is combined with ross MERP on the Bahama campus (Seahorse plaza, freeport). I tried contacting AUC admins about some info but they havent been picking up for some reason. From my knowledge here are some facts about it:

• It is a 4 month program with 16 credits
• You take watered down med school version of Anatomy and Histology, Biochem, and molecular biology, Microbiology and Immunology, and finally Physio and Biophysics
• Program is offered on the Ross' old bahama Campus

However that's all I know about it. Now I have some other questions if there are any students who have taken it or are in the jan '13 class

• How does the tuition process work? When is it due and how can we get that money?
• Are there dorms on campus? If not where do we live and how do we pay for the monthly rent?
• The Seahorse plaze sounds like a pretty shady place to have school lol
• I heard there is a complicated process with the visa to the bahamas and require several good standing records and return tickets (***?)
• What if my dad wants to come drop me off, where does he stay?
• Where do we buy books? Where can I find past students who sell them?

Thanks for any help guys and I am still deciding whether to go to MERP or no for AUC.
