I agree that the administration of SUSOM needs to get involved with the Trish situation. It disgusts me when I see her coming to campus to advertise her "gym" memberships, her apartment listings, and her restaurant Brigadoon's and acts like she is everyone's friend.
She is nothing but trouble to every student, and everyone needs to be aware of her before coming to Saba. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY A "FINDER" TO LOCATE HOUSING ON THE ISLAND. Anyone who tells you this is a crook, an idiot, or a lier. All anyone has to do is make a few phone calls to save a ton of money. Alida at the school office is very helpful in finding a place, or just post on this forum. (That's how I found my place.) Trish has screwed many students, and continues to do so every semester.
Don't be the next sucker!!!!
As for her "gym" memberships: I have never been in the place because I can't justify being identified with anything that woman is a part of, but from what I have heard from the many friends and aquaintances I have with memberships, the place is mediocre at best, and is definitely not worth the over $100 dollars she charges for memberships. She tells people that she is just "supervising" the place and she is just a go-between between the customers and the owner. She always resort to that when students question her about the ridiculous prices she charges for the actual services. Don't believe it for a second. She pockets every cent. The old owner of the place actually died some time ago.
Cocaine is a definite presence among very few students and locals of Saba (like it is basically anywhere in the world). However SUSOM is now doing "random" drug tests on all students, so anyone who is silly enough to be doing illegal drugs while in medical school needs to take heed. Hopefully, that message will make it to Trish.
By the way, I would not want to insult the fine citizens of Saba by implying that Trish is a Saban. She is originally from the US (Indiana, I think).
She is an absolute thorn in the side of each and every SUSOM student. Anyone who wishes to support her by joining her joke of a fitness center, eating at her restaurant, or buying her "other products" needs to keep in mind that they do so at the risk of injuring themselves and their colleagues. Remember that in spite of all our differences, we all come here to follow our dreams of becoming physicians. Don't allow Trish to tarnish these dreams and opportunities of current and future Saba students by supporting her with one red cent!!
To potential students: Don't let this warning scare you away from Saba. 99.9% of the population here are fine upstanding individuals. It is truly a wonderful place that provides great experiences. The faculty is great, very personal, approachable, and helpful. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in the world, and would have never chosen my medical school differently.
Censors, please post this important message! The word needs to get out and this is the ONLY way!
