Disclaimer: this is coming from a third party who does not attend KCOM, but hears enough hilarious information from a friend who is a student that she feels the need to comment!
Okay, it has to be said. I've visited KCOM and hung out with some very cool people in the medical program there. I, myself, am in a medical school program in San Francisco and I wish my classmates were this interesting! Obviously, dating at KCOM can be somewhat of a dilemma. Townies or school mates; neither are usually good options. The town is small to say the least with diversity being at an all time low. The school and program are fantastic, but a single person is almost bound to be lonely here. That is when you begin to live vicariously through your friends/classmates who have jumped into that scary unknown of dating a local or even worse, dating the one person everyone says not to date, a person in your class. That is when the real gossip begins. It's funny, painful and always bound to happen. Who can stop it, though. It's like you have to go there. So, let's go.
My real experience was at a recent KCOM dance held in December. It was awesome!! I felt like I had just walked onto the set of Sixteen Candles where they hold the dance in the high school gym. No kidding! I'm thrown in the mix at dinner which is sort of a random array of interesting items that I can't even name. Afterwards, it was pictures and dancing to every kind of music under the sun (namely rap and def leppard). During this entire time, there was gossip of every sort. A guy from wyoming dating a Louisiana girl, a raging party girl from florida semi dating her long-time boyfriend who never calls her and mostly dating an embarrassed classmate from michigan. Poor boy from arizona found a girl from michigan that he has no idea about. Her cheating ways, the poor guy she screwed around on before him and her kiss and tell attitude about him and everyone else in her life has everyone talking and pointing fingers apparently to their unknowing glance! A boy and girl both from michigan messing around behind her boyfriend's back, a girl from indiana playing hard to get with every guy in class, some girl trying to steal another classmate's husband and the list goes on and on!! I came out of there and could write an entire US Weekly magazine. It was fantastic! My head has been buried so far in medical books that I forgot how funny and silly the gossip can really be! Why can't my school be more interesting. yeah, KCOM! You guys have it going on! 😀
