What Our Students
Have To Say

BIU gave me the perfect mix, solid academics and a chill Caribbean vibe. Studying medicine felt less overwhelming with professors who actually care. And who wouldn’t want to prep for USMLE with a beach view?
Riya
4th Year MBBS Student, India
Coming to BIU was a leap of faith but honestly, it’s been worth it. The online classes were super flexible during my first year and once on campus, the experience just got better. New friends, real patient exposure and yes, zero regrets.
Jason
3rd Year MBBS Student, Nigeria
I was nervous about studying abroad but BIU made it simple. The support system here is strong, the campus life is fun and the professors? Always approachable. I feel like I’m actually growing as future doctor.
Sneha
2nd Year MBBS Student, Nepal
What I love about BIU is the balance. It's serious education, yes but it doesn't feel suffocating. We have clubs, sports and that amazing ocean breeze to keep things fresh. This is how med school should feel.
