Though our diverse and collegial student body is bound primarily by a shared desire to practice medicine, you’ll find ample opportunities to make lasting connections outside the classroom. Participate in one of our dynamic student organizations, attend an extracurricular event, or partake in some of the endless sports and recreation opportunities available on and around campus.

Student Housing

You'll have your choice of comfortable accommodations when you make St. Kitts your home away from home.

All UMHS students live off-campus in St. Kitts, but there are a variety of comfortable and affordable apartments conveniently located just minutes away from our front gates. Some are within walking distance, while others can be accessed by shuttle buses. All apartments are fully furnished, so students need only bring personal items, clothing, and linens. 

To help students secure the right accommodations, UMHS maintains a Housing Department on the St. Kitts campus, along with an online housing database featuring available rental units.
