Oh, and can you believe it is only two weeks until classes start? :eek:

Sorry.

I was recently married and am trying to get everything packed, etc.

There just aren't enough hours in the day.

Hey there! Does anyone know detailed info about our orientation, especially on August 1? I just was accepted last week, so I don't think they've sent that to me yet.

thanks!!

I haven't heard anything about the orientation schedule except that spouses and significant others can come and go to a special presentation on what medical school will be like. Also they can then attend a catered lunch, but you have to register for it...so e-mail Dr. Leo.

I talked to the bookstore last week (and actually bought a Histology book used). They said that the total cost for the diagnostic kit and some other necessary equipment was around 800 and change...

I think I'm going to wait to see on books and stuff because from what I could tell, the bookstore is VERY competitive on pricing.

Also have an LMU-DCOM decal to put on my truck window!
 
howdy from TN! I am in the Holiday Inn right now due to some lovely water problems, but when your landlord owns the hotel, it makes it easy to get the room for free! :D

Mover are coming Friday and they said they are having problems getting movers to help unpack the truck due to all of the DCOM peeps moving in.

If anyone is next to the school, give me a ring, my house is right where the bridge ends across from the school.

I didn't even know they offered us meal plans. I thought we had to fend for ourselves. Is there a website that has more info or does anyone have an email then can forward me?

Side note:

Can anyone list a few local banks?

I use a bank in my town that isn't national.

Thanks!!!

Sure. The bank with the best service in the area is Citizens Bank. They have locations in Harrogate, Tazewell, and New Tazewell (to name a few). Besides, my wife is an executive assistant so they support the DCOMers!! The website is as follows:

Supposedly it is going to be provided during orientation.

I do believe there is going to be a charge for the preloaded anatomy software, though.

It is the Gateway tablet -M285 or something like that. The school received a grant so this year the tablets are free (except the software Fermata mentioned). Next year the students will have to purchase them. Here is a link to some info http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1992913,00.asp
 
Well I made it to TN. I'm actually at the Downtown Inn in Middlesboro until I find a house but I'm here. 3 days of driving (most of it across TX) with a cat that just didn't want to be a part of this whole road trip (who knew cats howled):scared: but I made it. :banana::banana:

I look forward to meeting you all. PM me if you want to get together!

We loaded our cats up with Ace before we embarked on our journey and they did GREAT. Actually, all 6 of our critters have been awesome during this whole ordeal.

I'm gonna try to post a pic of the OMT uniform tonight or tomorrow.

Today's new TN experience was nice! Knox County has FREE trash drop-off centers! All kinds of recycling, etc...

Good way to save ourselves about 200 extra bucks a year.

Hi! How did you find out about the computer, who did you talk to? I was looking at the specs- do you know if we only have 512 mb of RAM? is there anyway to get more? thanks!

At my interveiw and then Dr. Leo sent out an e-mail about them. I looked to see if I saved it, but I didn't. I would just e-mail him.
 
computer has 2 gigs of ram, not 512. i remember that. core 2 duo, 80 gb hd. this model is no longer made, so I wonder if we have the renamed version or this version. same computer in the end (a free one, which is awesome). i would have liked a mac, but im not complaining.

yeaaa i was thinking 2 gigs too..still anything that's worth 2 grand shouldn't be bad.
 
I'm actually pretty excited about getting a computer, especially a tablet! I wish I could get the exact specs of the machines we'll be receiving. I'll take whatever they give us, but I do like to know what I'm getting so I can decide if it needs to be upgraded or not. :)
 
thank you- glad to know! although i guess i wouldn't complain either, seeing as its free :)
 
I have a favor to ask those of you who are already here. If you hear of a house for rent (preferably 3BR) PM me so I can go look at it. I put an ad in the local papers and am going to talk to realtors today but it doesn't hurt to spread the info around.

Thanks!!!

I understand your feelings lankan. I have said that exact thing to everyone who has asked me if I'm excited. Are you living in the dorms or do you have a house/apt? Good luck on your move!
 
Hey Shasta I know you're looking for a 3 bedroom and Dr. Leo emailed me one last week that I was going to take but decided not to... PM me if you want more info!!!

Hi Everyone!

I will be coming to Tennessee from California this Monday or Tuesday to look for a house to rent and an elementary school for my daughter. I was wondering if anyone has good ideas on the best way to seek out rental homes? Any help would be appreciated! :oops:

Shasta - I know some places are posted in the Middlesboro Daily News online (http://www.middlesborodailynews.com/); you may wanna check there?

Oh, and as for the scrubs, are we required to purchase the school ones? Just curious.

Can't wait to see you all!

I just today got the hookup on eight 2 BR, 2 BA apts setup for
roommate living in a doorman building with fitness center and
incredible, panoramic views of the city from all sides. Two of the
apts have terraces! The apt sizes are between 1275 sq ft and 1367 sq
ft. Their prices are the key! They range from $3200 to $3700 per
apt, which is dirt cheap for what they're offering. That's a cost of
$1600-$1750 max per person per month, which is really not bad at all.
Click to expand...

Should I tell them that we just got a 2300 sq. foot 2-story for less than half of one of those silly apartments, and I'd say our views are pretty nice. :) Oh, and I just doubled the size of our deck to 20X12...wonder how big their "terraces" are? ;)

No, this year we do not have to purchase the dcom scrubs -next year they will have too -you can get them if you like though, they are $45 and are embroidered (and navy or gray). They're being carried at the uniform/t-shirt shop next to subway across from the street from the school.

The only reason they say things like that is because they have never been to the area. Knoxville and the surrounding area is a beautiful area with lots of cultural activities, if that is what you want. Obviously even his own family knows what he doesn't!

Knoxville even has celebrities who have homes here for years. At one time Arnold Schwarzenegger even had a home here. If they don't like it then they can stay where they are!

I agree 100 percent:thumbup:
 
i dont even understand why anyone would care about that post...if someone likes the urban lifestyle, they can stick to it. likewise, if we prefer the rural one, its what we got. if they want to complain about the number of posts on a class thread, then apparently all other problems in the world have been solved. lighten up people, its not a big deal.

I was told

134 Brooklyn St.
Cumberland Gap, TN 37724

I'm sure it's not a big deal and the post office would figure it out, but you may want it totally correct if you are shipping important stuff to the dorms.
 
Whats up people!!! Well I'll be on my way to Harrogate tomorrow morning. Leaving from San Antonio thru Dallas, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville nad Knoxville!!!! Should get there Tuesday!

So be ready for me, if you see a brand new black Escalade with 22 inch rims cruising into Harrogate.... well thats not me!!! haha...:laugh:

See ya'll soon!!!
 
Just a bit of info Im not sure if it was the Touro med school but, I am positive it was a Touro professor that recently got busted for selling grades.... I wouldnt be to proud of being connected with Touro in any form after hearing about that.... Just my 2 cents after hearing Tn and Dcom being talked about ....lol.....
 
Oh yeah don’t forget Middleborough is home to Lee Majors and Colonel Sanders was actually a member of the board at LMU... He’s even one of the donors that created the Lincoln Museum on campus.... hahahaha too funny lol....

Wow. So much vitriol. You may notice that the post everyone is up in arms about was made by one guy - one guy who is not even going to Touro (read his signature!).

Where's the Southern Hospitality?:smuggrin:
