Wait, this is a thing?

Most schools seem to have some sort of formal, for students of all 4 years. More of a cocktail party than a prom.

First the frat thread, now this! Will I be going back in time if I go to med school?

"Does anybody know which med schools have recess?"

 

[touchpause13]

Yup I'm at DMU and we have it. Pretty sure most schools do

 

[NYCdude]

I'm outraged that none of the new innovative curriculums we have make any mention of nap time.

Yes - some schools call it a prom, some school call if a ball, some a formal. There are a variety of names for it, but most that I've seen do something along those lines each year.

 

[Holmwood]

That would be... a bit awkward.

We have it, most people don't care.

Yeah... I went first year, haven't been since. Way too overpriced (anywhere from $50-70/ticket for us) for what ultimately amounts to an up-scale high school homecoming dance.

Yikes, for that kinda money do they at least have an open bar?

Not trying to be funny here, hehehe.

Did anyone else read the title wrong?

Most schools have some kind of formal dinner, dance, "prom," etc at some point during the year. I think a majority of medical school classes try to do some social outings together every so often. You get to know your fellow classmates pretty well in this kind of environment, and that is a great thing since we will all be colleagues, but it's certainly not required.

Yes, it's a thing. Yes, it's fun.

UCSF has one. I can honestly say my 1st year's dance ended up being one of my life's most cherished memories. Med school, I miss you so much!

Can we make med school nap time a thing?

I do it every day. I wake up in time for lecture, hit snooze, and take another quick 2 hour nap.

Go home and sleep?

When you have recorded lectures, you can nap whenever you want.

UCSF has one and it's only $15 or so for a ticket, and it's in a really ritzy hotel in Union Square. USC has a really fun, informal formal from what I hear. They are a blast---it's a nice bonus if your school has one. And no, you don't NEED a date.
