Just starting to pack to move across the country for med school and was wondering if it will be helpful to have my books and notes from undergrad classes or if I should just leave them

Dr. Weebs said:Hehe... funny. However, I think it depends on what you took for undergrad. I took a neurobiology class, and our text was "Principles of Neural Science" (Kandel), which I have seen as a recommendation as a good neuro reference. I am definitely bringing that one with me. It might save me 100 bucks if it ends up being a recommended reference for neuro. If not, it's still a fantastic book to have around as a reference.

pillowhead said:I don't go to Columbia and Kandel was our required neuro text. The only other book i used from undergrad was Murray's Medical Microbiology. If you took biochem as an undergrad, you might want to bring that as reference for med school. Most books (and defnitely all notes) can be left at home.
Lots of people use computers. What do you mean by "too fast paced"? It's faster to type than it is to write.tcar18 said:Speaking of notes.... does anyone take notes on a computer or is class to fast paced? Alternatively anyone write up notes after class with computer?
