April fool's! As many of you have already figured out. Please do not modify your behavior based on any of my statements. That's unsafe for you and everyone around you.
 
Posting PMs is generally not allowed, but I've gotten permission for this. So don't try this at home.

Congrats, bleargh! It's better to be feared than loved. Repeat that to yourself in times of darkness.

Dear LizzyM,

You have received a warning at Student Doctor Network Forums.

Reason:
-------
Seriously responding to a LOL thread

Hi LizzyM, you responded with a real post on what is clearly meant to be a joke thread. Because you are a valued contributor to our community, we are only warning you, as opposed to giving out an infraction. Please maintain the appropriate amount of lullz in your posts. Thank you.

A report from India so she's described as "a lady"....

I doubt she was a prostitute if she was interviewed as part of a couple. It could be cultural prohibitions against oral sex and shame that precluded the couple from reporting the condom situation earlier in the course of the work-up.

Dear donttazemebro,

You have received a warning at Student Doctor Network Forums.

Reason:
-------
White-knight syndrome

Hi donttazemebro, you are receiving this warning due to your overzealous white-knighting of a poster. We as a forum are trying to encourage self-e-defense. Please flag what you perceive as inappropriate posts as opposed to engaging in e-vigilantism. It's a warning for now, but in the future there may be further action taken. Thank you

ppl should learn to not post responses if they can't contribute to the thread. 17 replies to op, and only one person was helpful around post 5 or 6.

17 posts woulda been enough for a full dissection with regards to specific high paying regions, urban centers that pay even more than NY or LA, hidden costs (a specific state with avg insurance permium of 100k/yr for a primary care field!), rising specialties, bad specialties, and specific tax breaks. I'm atleast partially informed so i'm not missing much.

op, this article is pretty much a very general overview or salaries and shoulda been the first response in this thread before more details are discussed.

Dear gujudoc,

You have received a warning at Student Doctor Network Forums.

Reason:
-------
Long post

Hi gujudoc, the below cited post has been flagged for its excessive length. Due to the limited bandwidth we can afford as a nonprofit website sustained by charitable donations, we can't afford the bytes of a tl;dr post. Please limit your posts to 1,731 characters. Because this isn't per se strictly against the TOS yet, you are simply being given a warning as opposed to an infraction. Thank you for your cooperation.

There's 3 major housing areas near BUSM directly which are better and more convenient then living on the main campus. The main campus is a 20 minute shuttle ride away. Not worth it to live out that far.

So the 3 main places at current are

1. harrison court. Directly across the street from campus on harrison avenue.
2. James court. Next door to Harrison court
3. 601 or 610 albany. Forget which order the numbers are. but its called one of those 2 names.

The 3rd one is the newest of these and where a lot of people I know live including one of my good friends in the class of 2014.

Harrison court is a mix of advanced standing and 4 year DMD students, med students, dental residents, SPH students, GMS students, and once in a while a medical resident. But this is kinda like a dorm yet more like an apartment. The hallways look like dorms and keys are like dorm keys but its essentially 1-3 bedroom apartments. I split a 1 bedroom apartment with a dental resident when i was there. I lived in the living room and her in the bedroom but the way it was set up it was easy to do as long as person in living room puts up a curtain blocking it off from dining and kitchen area.

That reduced cost a ton.

James court is more expensive but nicer and newer. It looks like a luxury hotel in there and has a parking garage that those who have cars can use. The albany apartments are the same way.

These are all pretty expensive but if you split with people in a decent way you could make it more affordable. however a 1 bedroom at James court was 1850 last year and a one bedroom at harrison was 1840. I'd rather take the James court one in that situation if I was living alone for the fact that it also comes with a gym on site and some other facilities that harrison doesn't have.

I wouldn't live near main campus if you can help it. Its just inconvenient in my opinion. I do know a GMS kid though who will be attending BU who lived on main campus and was ok with it. But i believe he is moving closer to campus next year as well.

The only downside is that living by campus you are a bit aways from where there's more to do compared to living in a place like near copley square. But most places are easily accessible in the city.

With most places in boston we found that most students split 1 bedroom apartments 2 ways or 2 bedroom apartments 3 ways or whatever to make for cheaper cost. Like another person I knew who lived at Harrison court lived with 2 med students and she was in a living room that was enclosed enough to be separate from main living room. So it was like having 3 rooms. She reduced it to 789 per month because of it. So you just gotta look for roommates willing to split an apartment this way if you want to reduce it to 3 digit figures. Good luck.

Yes. There was a rigorous selection process, and unfortunately there were more posts than could be warned. Please do not take this as a statement on the fitness of your posts, but rather our inability to warn all posts we would like to. Best of luck in your future posting endeavors.
 
Wow, this is an outrage. I've been filling this place up with BS for the past year and a half and this is the thanks I get? Not even a single false warning. I am disappoint.

I should have shadowed more trolls. I knew it.
 
Posting a PM is against the TOS, but bleargh can't do anything to me now :laugh: I was selected baby! Rookie of the year.

Reason:

Overuse of lolcats

You're getting a warning for the overposting of lolcat images. Because this is a new offense, we're giving out only warnings for now, but future infractions will result in further action. Thanks.

I applaud you for keeping up the ruse this long.
 
Wait...so bleargh isn't a mod? I'm confus.
 
White-knighting was my favorite, particularly for "self-e-defense" and "e-vigilantism".

Nice job, Bleargh!
 
BS. That was no April fools joke. My money is on that they made him a mod, realized it was a mistake (due to complaints, his past posts, etc), told him to step down, and now he's trying to play it off like its nothing. Why do I believe this. Well first off making him a mod as a joke isn't funny. Maybe if you are one of the 4 pre-allo members who spend way to much time here (ie 500+ posts a month, you know who you are) but to everyone else its just annoying. Also, being a moderator doesn't seem like the type of position to throw around as a joke. I imagine that the people who received a warning from him (myself included) found it incredibly obnoxious.

Except that the warnings were given for ludicrous reasons AND QofQuimica did the same thing in the nontrad forum, making a controversial user a mod for April Fool's. In essence, you fail.
 
Speak of the devil...And maybe you are right, but it was annoying regardless.
 
Toasting in epic bread...
