That's what the cheeky smiley face was for.

Nicola1926 said:Get some good fitting googles because if you don't the smell from the bodies will burn your eyes(Googles provided in lab don't fit very well)
Get a good mask because you will get sick if you don't(I had an upper respiratory infection for days for not wearing one for the first week or two)
MKittyKat1983 said:Is there any particular brand of the goggles and a mask you would suggest? Also, can you find them locally or would it better to purchase them online? Would you start buying some things in advanced or is it better to buy everything once classes start? Any other tips you may have would be appreciated. Thank you!

drjds said:Are there any apartments in Suwanee that are less than $650/month?
pinkscrubs said:There aren't many apartments in suwanee. Don't forget to look in Duluth and Lawrenceville as well. The school is located where 3 cities come together.
it depends where in Lawrenceville....for example the difference b/w Suwanee and Lawrenceville might literally be just one street....sugarloaf pkwy is very close to campus and there were some apartment complexes there yet it is considered lawrenceville...drjds said:About how far is Lawrenceville driving-wise (with traffic)?

Regarding the scrubs, other than navy blue can we pretty much get whatever we want? Naturally, the only scrubs I have leftover from work are navy blue.
I presume we will be told about all of our books and such during orientation.

thanks!
GA Girl said:I have a bunch of questions, if anyone can help out that would be wonderful!
Has anyone finalized their financial aid? I received a packet with another application (specific to PCOM) Monday and it seems we have to fill this out before we get the letter. Has anyone received the actual letter, and if so, how long did it take?
the health form was sent to us in a nucleus email as an attachment...and the white coat ceremony is in november (with the exact date TBA)...did you ever receive the big white binder which has detailed info about everything? I think I either got mine in the mail or during the new student orientation held in april... I can't remember but it is very helpful though!GA Girl said:I was also wondering if anyone received the health form to get signed by a physician?
Also wondering if we have a white coat ceremony and when it is.
Is it just me, or does anyone feel that GA-PCOM students don't get too much information? The people are nice, but the website isn't very informative and PCOM seems to put the Philly students first on most everything. Maybe it's different once we start?
Thanks!

Thanks
drjds said:Hello does any one have Aisha Deberry's contact info?
tsazmand said:I didnt know about the physical form until my future roommate found it somewhere on studentdoct. Just finished that today, if u need the form just shoot me ur email and ill send it 2 u.
The white coat ceremony is on 5th of november.
I finished my fafsa about a month ago and received my award letter about 2 and a half weeks afterwards and i jus sent my Fin aid pcom forms to the PA campus about a week ago. Also their were a bunch of other forms to be completed and sent to the PA campus so u might want them to fax that to u.
candyland said:my problem with the email is that I was originally given a number password to log into nucleus the first time which I changed into my own password, but when I click on the email link it asks me to enter my information again and I have to use the number password b/c the changed password doesn't work on the email and I don't know how to change it....so maybe if you changed your password try logging into email w/ the number password they provided you instead of the new one...I'm hoping they will help us fix it when we start in august.
bjsunny said:Hi, I'm Dana's "other roomate" (haha...howdy Dana!). In case you're wondering and couldn't tell by her name, we're both females. We're both 23. We both drive the same brand of car...wow. Anyway, to elaborate on Dana's message (since I know I had these same questions a year ago...), we are both pretty quiet and considerate of "study time." Her poodle is a great little dog who loves to be carried around like a baby. Dana's dad is our landlord so you can trust that any problems get taken care of ASAP. And (huge selling point!) it takes me approx. 6 minutes to get to school in the morning if not stopped by one of the local school buses .
Hmmm...about me? I love music, traveling, indie films, and I own all 10 seasons of the Friends DVDs (not really important, but some people get a kick out of it). I'm really OCD about doors being locked, so you'll never have to worry about any doors being left unlocked in the house (just ask Dana!). And, though I don't see why it would be an issue, it's been brought up before that I am in fact a vegetarian, but I really don't care what other people eat, so don't worry about me throwing your steaks in the garbage or giving you the evil eye while moo-ing loudly if you eat a hamburger. That's all that comes to mind at the moment, but you can message me too if you want to know more.
Oh yeah, a note to the upcoming 1st years: Dana and I take REALLY extensive notes in class. And I think we bought all the books that were required and probably many of the ones that weren't. Just so you know.....

snicker1045 said:Hi guys,
My name is Dana, and I am formerly a 1st year at GA-PCOM. For a variety of reasons, I will not be returning in the fall, but I am still living in the area, and my roommate Alysa (a 2nd year) and I are looking for a third roommate to share a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath house. The rent is $400/mo, plus 1/3 of the utilities. I do have a miniature poodle, and we may have another dog soon, so keep that in mind if you are allergic. We don't mind other pets though. The house is about 3.5 miles from the school.
Anyhow, message me if you are interested!
~Dana
Anyhow, I just thought that I would post this again for anyone who might still be looking for a roommate. Send either of us a message, or you can email me at [email protected].

snicker1045 said:Hey,
If you can get into your email, up at the top there are 3 boxes... when you mouse over one it will say options. Click on that box, and the first page that pops up gives you the chance to change your email password. If you change that password to the same one you have for nucleus, then you should be able to get into your email just by clicking the link in nucleus. Hope that helps!
