Is this enforced? Im one of those people that wears shorts in the winter

"Apparel such as jeans and sweatshirts/t-shirts (without holes) may be worn by students and on select occasions with approval of the Associate Dean by faculty and staff"

T-shirt life continuing strong



Is the name badge thing a troll?

Yeah the name badges are mandatory at the DMC because we need them to get into all of the classrooms, lockers and lounges....it is a hospital ID card.

I'm pretty sure ID badges are required at DMC since it's on a hospital campus but we certainly never had such things in East Lansing...

Anybody know the chances of getting placed at the EL campus? I was assigned the Macomb campus and am placed on the waitlist for EL. Or can someone transfer after the summer semester to a different campus?

I was placed at Macomb, but later got offered a spot at my #2 a couple weeks after getting accepted and even my #1 a short while back. So there is definitely movement happening, although it's getting late (Orientation is in a week :O). It seems site placement demand goes DMC > EL > Macomb.

One of the current students I spoke to said that people tend to move around after the first summer or fall semester, so you probably have a good chance at transferring to EL since it has the most number of spots.

Anybody around Sterling Heights, Utica, or Shelby Township want to carpool to EL for orientation next week? I have room for 3 in my car and don't mind driving. I also wouldn't mind driving with someone else and chipping in for gas if you would rather take your car. pm me if you're interested.

You should do it! It is nice to have someone you can bounce questions off of or get study resources from.

Is anyone not doing that SOMA thing? I thought it was mandatory lol

 

[deleted835687]

does anyone know when we will get more information on the Major Anatomical Concepts Assignment? I'm really hoping I didn't miss anything...

 

[Scrubs101]

Does anyone still have access to the D2L class info? It shut me out and says it wont open up again until the morning we start class lol

You'll get the info on that on your first day of actual class and you'll have a lab with it....relax and enjoy your last couple days of freedom.

 

[DrPatriot]

Big/little sib isn't mandatory but there really are no negatives to it. It gives you someone to bounce questions off of and you can also just never talk to them if you don't need help lol

 

[deleted831695]

Feels weird it already begins by next week, especially when my other friends aren't starting school till August.

I have access to it, but there's nowhere else to go aside from my home page.

Cool, same for me. Thanks! Just making sure because like 2-3 weeks ago we could access the anatomy folder and there was like intro power points and stuff in it

Hey guys, does anyone know of a cheap place to get Hep B shots in Lansing? Is it somehow covered by our student insurance? I'm just kind of reluctant to pay $51 USD to get it at the MSU Physician's office when I got a shot back in Canada for $7 CAD...

Best bet is to call BCN on Monday and ask

 

[iluvmedicine2]

Are students allowed to eat or drink in class? I feel like I'm going to need something to get through these summer classes lol

Yes....just not in the anatomy lab

 

[DrPatriot]

There is a coney island right in the DMC campus so some people will go order breakfast between the 8-9am lecture and eat a full breakfast during lecture

Scrubs are always ok. I would recommend them for the anatomy lab for sure.....that dress code isn't enforced strictly. Just don't push it and wear outrageous things and ruin it for everyone

Scrubs to class? Lololol at all of us freaking out

Do you guys know if we bring our laptops to orientation for CBT training/set-up?

Yes, you can wear scrubs to class and that is always acceptable.

Freaking out is ok, just try and relax before you guys start!

Well that solves it. I'm wearing scrubs pretty much all the time. They're like pajamas

 

[Ulgarmoose]

Wondering why EL would be 7-12 while DMC and Macomb are 8-12.

Like they're forcing me not to come to class at that point
