I studied on the Trent Durham campus, and loved my experience especially because of the small class sizes and proximity to professors. It has a growing international student body, which I appreciated as well.

They have very good lecturer's at the International University of the Caribbean, Jamaica. Class schedules are extremely flexible especially if you are apart of the work force. However, they don't offer a lot of online courses currently but they are in the process of upgrading such.
