Has anyone registered for classes yet? The Orientation web said some students would be able to register in April. My registration time is May 5, however it appears that I need an "advising code." It looks like you have to attend a CSU orientation to get the code. Does anyone have insight on this??? Maybe we will get the codes via email, can't see the point of two orientations.
 
I just got on Ram Point and the box with "advising code" was already checked off. I did all the other steps and now it says I can register May 5 as well. Does it say for you that you are "Registration Ready"?

For everyone else who doesn't know where we are going to fill in some stuff online for registration, you can find it at: http://rampoint.colostate.edu
and then you go to RAMweb.

Oh wait- I see what you mean now. After you fill in the stuff and they lie and tell you that you are "Registration Ready," then they say you do need that Advising code, which you supposedly get at Preview... Interesting... Well I assume that they will explain this to use when they send out more stuff in a few weeks.

Any suggestions from others?
 
I remember we had this issue last year when it came time to register and I emailed Janet Jenke about it last year... here was her response: "Vet Med students are an exception to the new RAMWeb/ARIES Registration system and will not have an advising code. I just requested to have the code removed. You should be good to go now. Please let me know if you have any trouble." I am not sure if I was just forgotten about or if this happened to everyone...

I am not sure if they will be doing things differently this year, but dont worry about it until the day you can register... and even if you cant register that day its not big deal because everyone is in the same class for everything and the few labs (like histology) that you get split up for, they will divide you by cubes and not what you registered for... and the only elective there was for us first semester was accounting which you cannot sign up via the web anyways...

However, for next years spring registration my word of advice is to try to register at the second registration opens if you want to get the lab time you want (you dont have to worry about not getting into the class as you definitely will... you just might get the time you dont want) It is sort of amazing how fast the "good" lab times fill up 🙂
 
Thanks for the advice Soxbox, we appreciate any tips that you might think of!😀
 
Wow. This place has been quiet for a while, reality must be kickin' in! Still excited??
 
Still excited! :hardy: But still looking for a good apartment...

I just got an email telling me who my big sib is today. I got a boy! So they either have coed pairing, or we ran out of boys in our class to match?? Anyone know how big the class is? It seems as though we are supposed to order books around June (according to last year). Has anyone looked at the book list and figured out what books to buy and which ones not to buy (based on the recs from the earlier class)? Also, if you have looked at the book list, has anyone noticed that our physiology book is a human med book?? It's actually the one I used in undergrad (not to say that it's not detailed, it certainly is), but I just think it is weird that it's human med, I would think too much would be different. Last years physiology book was a vet phys book too... wonder what caused the change
 
I took my book list to all of my vet friends and they really came through! I think I've got just about every one including the Canine Anatomy DVD. Try hitting up all the vets you know, you might be surprised!
 
damn thats impressive. Well, unfortunately, I don't really know any vet people remotely near my age. (Came from an engineering school and have only been at this vet school business for 2 yrs) 🙂 Apparently you've got a lot of great connections! congrats :luck:
 
Greenie... I believe there is supposed to be 134 people in our class!! I see you have a cute little black kitty, I have 2 myself 🙂
 
Aw, maybe when school starts we should organize a play date! My boy loves to play. I think I might have to get him a feline friend for when I am gone during the day...
 
I don't know about you guys but I have been doing some computer shopping and I was looking at the CSU recommended Dell laptop. From past experience I REFUSE to buy another Dell laptop but I was concerned about the part on the web page that said CSU only supported Windows XP. So I emailed a computer dude at CSU and he said that Windows Vista should work fine and that the website was kind of outdated.

That's the same thing I heard from another CSUer. Which is strange because I thought they just updated that website...

Anyone looking at getting a tablet?
 
Thought about a tablet, who makes a good one? My Big Sib also warned me to stay away from Dell, says they are a POS
 
I think HP, toshiba, and lenovo are the top makers. But I haven't done enough research on which one I want. Pretty sure I'm going to get one though because if you have to buy a laptop anyways, why not get one that makes annotating your notes really easy. They're really not that expensive either (for example- if you order an hp through their website, you can get their tablet for $1000).
 
Yeah, I've been looking at that one. The only thing I'm concerned about is the battery life. I think the 6 cell only lasts about 2 hrs, so unless you buy two, it could be a bit tough to get through a day of class.
 
Hey, I am a soon to be Junior (gasp), assuming I pass finals. I was avoiding studying and thought I would log on and congratulate all of you who have been accepted to CSU. Feel free to ask any questions (although I see other CSU students have been helping out too).

I also work at the school doing a lot of their computer stuff, so if that is a concern too, let me know.

Again, congrats and party hard this summer (you deserve it)!

It is my understanding that we can start the rabies series once in Colorado....is that right?
