The people are different to other Caribbean personalities in many ways. They are most spiritual and religiously conscious. Antiguans are by nature open, thoughtful and generous. They love a party but will have time for anyone, they like people, no matter what ethnicity, race, and disposition. They make time for reserved and shy people and draw them out with disarming innocence and charm. They will rise to the occasion on any occasion to shoot the breeze and grin and joke with the most outrageous personalities of our age.

The country has a relatively small population, yet the artist community is a strong and thriving one. Many gifted artists, musicians, authors, potters, jewelers, photographers, fashion designers live, work, display and sell their creative art locally and online. The island hosts numerous art galleries, however many of the island’s artists display and sell their work directly from their studios.

Music has always played a vitally important role in Antiguan life, with the rhythms of Calypso, Soca, and Reggae giving the constant backbeat to everyday island life. A number of world-class musicians call Antigua home and there is a vibrant island nightlife and entertainment scene, especially on the southeast coast, where Eric Clapton has been known to show up and play a set unannounced.

The people are spiritual and religiously conscious. They are by nature open, thoughtful and kind. Antiguans are people full of compassion and courtesy! This is evidenced by the level of security and peace the country offers. You will likely stay for the entirety of your study period unbothered here!
