Wow....I feel like I have a sacral dysfunction after that test. Damn....
Not only that but I messed up a bit of my lab too cause I couldn't finish a station. UGH. I spent too much time trying to find the PSIS and it cost me.

but I started a new thread, and since y'all are my friends, I'd like your input.

*the next day* err, nevermind. Peeps were being jerks, so I disconnected myself. Good luck on finals.

Just wanting to get some feedback from Nova students. I'm deciding on schools right now and Nova is @ the top so far. What do you think of Nova so far?
petstoreboy said:
I love it...............wouldn't ever even think about going anywhere else........except during finals week and whenever i'm sitting in class wondering why the hell i'm sitting in class. anyway, as you can tell I am still delusional from finals week. But in all honesty, I love this school, especially since I'm in 75 degree weather right now and my friends back home have a wind chill of -15..........can't really beat the ocean. The school is awesome...............My one problem with south florida is people are pretty damn rude around here.......
other than that, anywhere you go is what you make of it.........you should base your decision on things that are important to you such as proximity to your family and friends, location of school, etc......
As far as the location, technology, and design/looks of the school, there aren't many that can compare.

I have to agree with hoody, I love my school and I am happy to attend there. I am also downloading from finals and trying to gear up for my next semester of school. I am looking back and going gee, I did learn all that crap in 4.5 months.
I am stoked that typically its sunny out and that if I wanted to I can go out and enjoy my day. I also love the fact I can wear shorts most of the time when I am out of school...aw hell, I wear PJ's while I'm in school (scrubs) and then after school I can wear whatever the hell I want so a lot of times I was in the labs in shorts/tee shirt/flip flops in november/december. Plus the facilities are pretty well kept up here and thats a neat thing.
Something else I like about the school is the sense that everyone is there to help everyone else. There is no hiding of information or resources. We realize its tough as hell even with that information and so its a big share fest. people make huge diagrams or find websites and they post them to our email accounts. There is a level of competition but its with yourself not so much with others. THen again there were times I just wished for a freaking 70 (see histology/anatomy finals for me)
I will say it again, find the school thats cool for you and fits your personality. I was accepted to a few school including those in the north and chicago area....when I look at the single digit temperatures and wind chills below zero I can't help but smile a huge ass smile and know I'm happy to be in shorts....then again, maybe thats just me.

I also reeeally enjoy studying by the pool. Just use earplugs to help get un-distracted. It's getting a bit chilly to do so now, but if the pool's not an option, you can just pull a little table onto your patio. Mine overlooks a pond with a fountain. Not too shabby.

Hey Everyone...I am getting into the mode of thinking about places to live for next year while attending NSU. I think I have a room mate arranged already. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on places to look/stay away from. I am looking to rent, and don't mind commuting a few minutes. What are the best areas to live in that are moderately reasonable? Are there any areas that are unsafe that you would suggest us staying away from?
Any suggestions are welcomed, as I am fairly unfamiliar with the Ft. Lauderdale/Davie area.
Thanks!

A lot of students like cedar key and sunforest which are right next to the school. There is also palm trace and davie crossing that are fairly close as well with little commute. Poinciana Lakes is just behind Cedar Key and its nice too but a little more pricey.
Those are the closest apartments to the school where most of the students live. I like about 10 minutes away near the broward mall in a place called los prados and they gave me a free months rent plus they have some cool features like unlimited water/sewer/trash pickup at your door for 40 bucks a month. I am quite happy with where I live and its close to everything.

Living walking distance from school is worth its weight in gold...well, I guess that doesn't weigh anything. Hmm, you know what I mean .
I actually like driving around here quite a bit (it's like street racing all the time) but just to not "have to" drive to and from school every day is SUCH a perk. One of my classmates commented that at the end of a long day, the last thing she wants to do is sit in traffic. She actually commuted further than anyone else I know of, but is moving closer to school so she has a little more time to cook for herself. (remember, one of the biggest challenges of med school is time management. despite my protests, there are still just 24 hours in a day ). Not to mention I only fill up my gas tank every 3 weeks at the most.
The pond with a fountain I referred to in my last post was the one on the north end of Poinciana Lakes. For anyone who wanted to live here, the extra $ to face the water is totally worth it because I can't hear the traffic on University Dr, plus it's a totally pimp view.
If you want to live close to school, you could pretty much just spend a weekend driving around and touring complexes (as Robz and I did last year). I'd do so ASAP, since apartments fill up all the time. If a complex you really like is currently full, don't dismay. Tenants vacate all the time - often without much notice.
Hope you guys and gals had a good new year's eve. Mine rocked!

If my roommate (currently a senior at NSU undergrad) gets accepted to the class of 2009, our apartment will be available for lease because we're going to pool our $ to buy a condo. Two brief posts about my apt. are pasted below.
pm me for details/photos
My roommate and I just talked about this an hour ago. It's quite preliminary, but I thought I'd just put the word out.

AHhhhhhhhhh. One week down and way too many to go. I have to say it was great having some time off and today I remembered a few reasons why it was that I choose NSUCOM.
1. There were clear blue skies today
2. It was 80 degrees today
3. Many people went to the beach today
4. I live in a very cool area where I went shopping and found everything I needed within a couple miles from my house
5. I got a free lunch and met some pretty cool Family Practice physicians at the ACOFP meeting/lunch today
6. I could be in the snow
7. I had time to watch the playoffs cause its only the beginning of the year
8. My spa was running and I love the ability to go chill out in the water in Janunary
9. I actually like my classes this semester (until the stress hits me)
10. Did I mention that I wore shorts this entire weekend????
he he he....I'm going to slack tomorrow also...then I think I will try and study so I don't feel like a total dweeb for doing absolutly nothing this weekend.

For those of you who have done it,would you do it again and were you able to pay rent with the loans. Guess Im just getting a little scared because the mortgage broker already called me and we are making offers. Please help with any advice.,, thanks

Dude, we're the class of 2008! I'm just worried about getting through mayrovitz's absolutely confusing, broken english, and mind numbing respiratory test...
Petstoreboy, once you get here and you're in the middle of test after test and patterson is pawing you....the last thing you'll think about is 4th year electives.
Don't worry man...you'll go from lifting turds at the pet shop to cramming for CP in no time!!!! Worry about 4th year electives in your 4th year

Apologies for intruding in your forum but I thought I'd give you the info: you can have a max of 6 months' elective time if you give up your 1 month of vacation. Assuming you won't do that, you have 5 months of electives, 3 of which must be in primary care as defined by the administration. If you choose to take the Step II board review in Aug of M4 year, it counts as a primary care elective. Therefore, you'd have 2 primary care electives to complete and 2 electives that are your own. The rest of M4 is filled with 2 months of rural medicine, 1 month of rural medicine selective, and 1 month EM. M4 is a 10-month academic year.
About a mile east of University Drive gets a bit ghetto. But if you like to live the hood life then maybe you'll like it....jk. what the others said is true, cedar key is nice............but really anywhere you go is going to be roughly the same price.kaikai128 said:Hey Everyone...I am getting into the mode of thinking about places to live for next year while attending NSU.

Hey guys, can you tell me how long it took NOVA to grant you an interview once your application was complete, I've been complete for a couple of weeks now, and still no news.

I think I was granted an intervew about 2-3 weeks after everything was complete and in their hands. However, that was much earlier in the application cycle--I wouldn't expect to hear back from them so quickly at this point in time. This Thread talks about ppl having applications complete since November. Good luck, and be patient.
