My landlords were like our grandparents. So, they would look out for my son at night..if anything was to come up...But, most of my study time was at home...I didn't attend class so I was home most of the time...My son walked home for lunch...etc....You maybe able to find you a nanny to assist you...The island has laundry service and all apartments come with weekly maid service...So, my suggestion is to stay within walking distance to campus....and everything is centered around campus...Best wishes on your journey...You can Do it!A 40 year old Medical Studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15998597165298239467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012949197223045236.post-86232256803651048982015-09-13T21:02:28.373-05:002015-09-13T21:02:28.373-05:00Congrats on your journey!!

Is it possible to find child care on the island? I have a 2 and 5 year old but they would be closer to 4 and 7 by the time I completed all my prereqs, MCAT and got on the island.
