Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It seems like the books are "recommended" not required. Sweet!

It's been a long time since I posted...

I can help out with things you need for first year though. This is more of a guide for 5 year students, but some of it i'm sure is the same for GEPs).

- Millers Guide to the Dissection of the Dog (you'll use it during dissection and revision)
- labcoat (2 is better, a clean one for clinical skills and one that will get stained with dissections)
- wellies with steel toe (rubber boots)
- dissection kit (not sure if needed for GEPs, can buy from the uni once here. I got mine off of ebay)

Thats all I can really think of for now.
 
I got a lot of free time so I went back on all this and had lots of run reading all these old posts! It feels ages ago worrying about VISA app, accommodation, etc.

Sorry I've been completely absent, but am here if you need any more advice! Sounds like others have it taken care of... If you need any advice on pubs, and shipping dogs overseas (I'm in Packens boat this year) I'm your dude!

Trying to but an electrical converter for my laptop anyone know where is the best place to find one or exactly what works best?

Do you mean a voltage converter? Most laptop power cords that come with your laptop are dual voltage and can handle 120-240V so you normally don't need a converter.

If that doesn't help you and you still need to buy one I don't know where to tell you to look. Maybe just get a newer power cord that can handle dual voltage.

My laptop has the AC Adapter that says the 100-240V put there is another cord that runs from this adapter to the outlet and it only runs at 125V... that is the part I am worried about.
 
My old laptop - the one I brought over here - I just run the power cord through I regular plug converter - no need to get anything special for that...

You just can't use heavy duty electronics like hair dryers, flat irons, kitchen electronics, etc
 
DVMD, do you have a Mac? If so, I bought a UK power cord through amazon when I got there. It was pretty reasonable and works fine. I used a regular power converter until then though. Got it at Target, one that can be used in multiple countries, good for traveling. :D
 
JBJ, have not seen you on SDN in a while!! While you have nothing going on, respond to your FB messages!! :p

No, no Mac here.
 
So for the GEPS of Class of 2016 - How was your first, and I guess by now the second day???

Have you guys started real lectures yet? Have you met Dr. Hudson?????;)

Hope it's going well!! See you in September!!:D
 
Hey Packen! The first couple of days were pretty boring. Just health, safety lectures, blah blah blah. But we started our terminology lecture with Dr. Hudson and he is fantastic! I can tell that he's going to be a favorite of mine. :)
Do you know what's going on with the dick vet clothes? Because everyone is chomping at the bit for some new threads. ;)

Ahh Dr Hudson....sigh. I think he is everyone's favorite ;)

Clothes orders wont go out till probably October. I have to wait until I get back and then coordinate with the girls who ran it last year to get the accounts put into my name. The clothes usually arrive right before Christmas break, typically how it works each year.
 
I'm not surprised. ;)

Ok then. I guess we'll just have to be patient and wait for our new clothes. :)
I sent you a PM on fb btw.
