Lol..I read some articles where it states that medical students actually regress in their maturity level over the first 2 years of basic sciences until they hit clinicals....I'll probably be a text-book example
I can just picture how living in the student apartments will be . . . just like undergrad, except everyone will be in in their mid to late 20's and there are no RA's! Woo Hoo! 
Tennessee has no state income tax, so they make up for it by taxing everything else. A lot of our stuff, for example I believe restaurants, are at like 9.5% tax, but I believe that local sales taxes that can be added on top of state sales tax (which I believe is 7%) effects that value
This should be fun then!
2 A.M fire alarm drills wouldn't be nearly as funny when you're trying to get those last couple of hours of sleep before a big test...will they?
is this what med school does to a person?

) and you want to do stupid things to relax. Video games get played a lot during breaks and nights after an exam. But overall, I know I am more mature than I was in undergrad...you have to be, in combination with being crazy to go thru all this, to get thru school. If you take it seriously all the time, it would suck royally. You have to have fun, makes funny videos, make fun of yourself and medicine, etc. to really enjoy yourself. Its a really good way to not burn out.
Let me tell you...med school makes you all kinds of goofy. Less mature...probably....what it might mean is that it is the really stupid things that make you laugh (more so than normal - hence my interpretation of your earlier post
As for Wally World (wal-mart) and fast food joints, there's a ton....no problem there. It is the sit-down restaurant that I miss, i.e. Chilis, Fridays, etc. Thankfully they are in K-ville.
all 7 day of the week
Anyone else interviewing on 2/29??
It seems like everyone on here is already accepted...but I thought there might be some people who usually just read the posts and never actually write anything. Orrrr maybe it's just me.
But I guess thats what happens when you don't send in your secondary app until early Feb...lol. (not entirely my fault...had some LOR issues)
Oh, and Syncope...I could have done without your breakdown of the stats!
hello. I meet them weekly.
<---This is my disappoined face.
nice...and what a difference that will make. It's nice that they seperated out the dorms for medical students...i can imagine the only time it is loud is after final exams and so forth
That's at least 3-1 now by my calculations.
and wanted to know if there will be folks at Oasis on Thursday night. I would love to meet a few of you! 
What's the snow/ice situation this time of year (I'm driving from Knoxville Airport)? I've checked the weather report, but they just say "partly cloudy", which tells me nothing about snow on the ground (or road). I've been teaching undergrads for the last 6 semesters and I'm "tired" of being the one who mature and is in charge....haha
Don't worry....there are LOTS of lurkers
T-minus 7!!!!!
this is the time I start having daily nervous breakdowns
it's best not to even think about it...and make it turn into a conversation rather than a question/answer session....good luck
I think the second part is for RoseLee. I think I might start a countdown like yours on the AZCOM thread. 
for getting a great score!
Yeah, I highly doubt that with all the studying and tests that everyone in the student apartments will have there will be loud crazy partying going on all hours of the day/night. I know that I will bust some heads if there are people being ******ed and loud when its late and I'm trying to sleep. Dont care to be an ******* at all and tell them to shut the **** up and quiet down. And I think prions was being a little silly when she was talking about all of that.
Poo poo head. Just ruin all the fun why dont you?
Oh no...Rose's regression has already begunPoo poo head. Just ruin all the fun why dont you?
Sorry, didn't mean to freak everyone out about party time at DCOM student housing! I lived in the dorms as an undergrad and had waaaaay too much fun, so don't worry it's been out of my system for quite some time.
I just think it will be fun to live with fellow classmates . . . ever if the wildest we ever get is staying up till 2am studying together.
Oh and Laura, we will make you come over and hang out and darn it you'll like it!
Hey Rose, I think we should be the social event coordinators for student housing! I was a RA in college, so watch out . . . I'm full of cheesy/fun ideas!
Just got back from my interview yesterday. Much like everyone else that visits this place, I fell in love with the school, the people, the faculty and everything else. The technology is freaking unbelievable!!!! Too bad we didn't get a chance to see the anatomy lab. I would have like to see what they did with that one! I think the interview went well, but the cream is in the pudding! Missed the Oasis because of delayed flights, but those that went liked it a lot.
I went to the Pinnacle point, and it was great! Only 3 of us went though (HippieChick, I think you were there?) A bunch of people were worried about their 6 or 6:30 flights out of Knoxville. I had a 6:30 and by the time I returned my rental, checked my bag, I even had time to eat! So anyone reading this, I would recommend you go with Bob (amazing guy!) up there and check it out. Its a great way to wind down from the day. He's also a local expert and you can ask him just about anything! Oh, and another pointer for those driving up from Knoxville to the interview, take the 75N to the 63E. Its a much better way to go. Its faster and less curvy. The 25 is more scenic and shorter, but you go slower and it will actually take more time.
So with all of this partying and maturity discussion going on, its got me thinking... Thats the only thing I forgot to ask about yesterday! What about those of us (myself included) who would like to have some partying at every possible opportunity? Will there be anything for us with all of you guys studying quietly or hibernating in your apartments? Any partying on the LMU campus itself? What is a guy to do? (especially if he can't line dance to save his life!)
I heard they throw some cool parties in some random cave on campus...any truth to this? a cave-bash sounds awesome
.
Hey all!
I'm heading out to Tennessee from Cali on Thursday
Also, I don't have much snow driving experience. :
Thanks for the info! I am incredibly excited about this interview and sincerely hope to join you guys in the Fall.
Roselee
PS. I hope to regress in med school!
I'm not sure when they said those would be ready for us Andrew. I was gonna look at them, but I'm not sure they have even broken ground yet.... At least thats what I heard when I was up there last, before Christmas. I'm sure things could have changed in the last three months, but I dunno. The way they were talking it didnt sound like they would even be ready for us in August. But who knows. I think I'm gonna live in the DCOM apartments at least for the first semester and see if I can find anything after that or if I like it to just stay there.
I hope your not talking about Pelanchos! Not even close to authentic, but I guess I shouldn't complain, I did eat my whole tostada! I know there was another Mexican place there though, maybe that's the one your talking about, I wish I had tried that one instead!
So I was promised some raisons from California in exchange for your safe passage while you were here. You sat BESIDE me the entire night at Oasis and never once mentioned my raisins. I'm going to talk to Dr. Stowers about this first thing in the morning. Unacceptable Hippiechick, if that is even your real name. Oh the tangled web we weave....
I did have some rasin boxes here at home that I almost brought, but I didn't have enough for everyone and that wouldn't have been fair now would it have? I promise though, cross my hear and hope to die, that if I am accepted I will bring the rasins!
