Choosing where to study in Grenada is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. THE’s student resources are here to help you make the right choice.

Grenada is a British-Commonwealth nation consisting of three islands (Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique) in the Caribbean Sea. For decades, its medical school has been one of the most popular and well-regarded institutions in the Caribbean for foreigners studying abroad. Grenada’s beautiful and varied tropical landscape and its rich French and English colonial history offer students from around the world an opportunity for a unique cultural exchange while they pursue their degrees.

Grenada has a booming tourism and hospitality industry, and those students who choose to study on its islands will enjoy access to the same natural wonders and recreational activities that draw admirers from around the globe; beaches, mountains, and rain forests are all found on the main island. Grenada is also a short travel distance by plane or boat to the rest of the Caribbean, as well as South America.

Grenada uses for currency the Eastern Caribbean (EC) dollar, which is tied to the US dollar at 1 USD = 2.67 EC. (A good way to remember the conversion is that $5.00 EC equals approximately $2.00 USD.) Most businesses will accept American dollars for purchases but return change in Eastern Caribbean dollars. ATMs are available across the island and allow per diem withdrawals of between $1,000 and $3,000 EC. Students who intend to stay for extended periods of time are encouraged to open a local bank account.
