J-Rad this is more like a clinical rotations kinda thread rather than a Osteo specific kinda thread
Yes, it is harder in that sense out on rotations. Everyone adapts differently.
I agree the move to osteo thread inappropriate btw. It's just segregation at this point!

Done.Actually, you are right. I'll see if one of the area mods can help out with moving.
I'll agree it is nice to interact with some people in your class that you've never had that chance to get to know over MS1-2. Maybe I'm antisocial or something but I've actually enjoyed the fact that I haven't seen too many classmates. What's even better is that so far I haven't had to deal w other students on my patient care teams. Call me a hermit, but I think it's great.

I'm glad somebody else feels like this, because I've been struggling with the same thing.
It doesn't help that, for instance, when I was on FM (my first/only rotation, and 12 weeks to boot) most of my friends were on IM/surg and thus had no time to do anything. At least our school seems to keep the same people together throughout most rotations - I'm gonna get to know the people above and below me alphabetically real well!
But I still find myself oddly reminiscing about college and years 1/2 - where it was easy to get together with people. I had no idea that adult life in America could end up this isolating, honestly.
You really kinda do have to actually plan stuff out... it used to be in preclinical/college I could just go somewhere, hang out, and stuff would happen, but here it's definitely different.
Dude, that sounds like the real world, which I can understand could be a bit of a shock for someone who's been in school their whole life. All your friends have different jobs with different schedules and live all over town, so you need to call them up to meet up. It's not like you're all living in the dorms together taking the same classes. I wish it was, because I totally miss that, but unfortunately that's not the case. Such is life.
Haha, ending on a very bleak note.
