NSU acceptance class of 2011!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
guys/gals....i know this is kinda random but are there any hot chicks at nsucom?😀 i really didnt pay attention when i was there- i guess i was spending my time trying to calm my nerves before the interview....:meanie:
 
There are only hot chicks at NSU! And they are all only just waiting for you to get there!😛
 
Hey, a little off topic, but does anyone play an instrument? I know that there will not be a lot of time for this kind of thing, but it would be cool to get a group of people together to RAAWK OOOOT!!!! every once in a while. I play bass, and I likes it funky!

my main instruments are guitar and saxophone. Don't play much funk on the guitar, but my alto can play a little funk.

Sweeet! I'm open to any style of music, excluding yodeling and polka! (My grandma used to play it all the time when I was very little: I guess I used to dance like mad to it: Now I am scarred, lol!)
 
I play the trumpet, like a pro. Oh wait, I didn't apply to NSU! Keep forgetting.... Sorry - can't play in your band.
 
I play piano, but I've officially decided I am withdrawing from NSUCOM. It's been real, but realistically, I wouldn't be able to live in Florida, and I would prefer to be closer to home. So now my choice is between NYCOM and UNECOM. Yes, NSUCOM is a much nicer campus, and the facilities are top notch, but I don't know how happy I would have been there. Anyways, I want to wish you guys once more best of luck. Would have been fun being classmates with ya'll, but I think I'll end up where I'm supposed to.

I was reviewing the class of 2010 thread and they mentioned 3 housing complexes (cedar keys, palm trace, and cameron cove) that were within walking distance to the school. As far as I can tell, they've all gone condo.

Are there any places left near NSU where it's possible to walk to classes?

Thanks!

If you look on their website, there's a map indicating some living complexes that are close to campus, four of which you haven't mentioned yet.

palm trace isnt walking distance..unless u like to walk 2.5 miles to class..and its not condo...the walkalble ones are sunforest/sundance literally acrosss the street from NSU dental building..still very close to Steele/hpd library

Thanks. I heard mixed reviews about the Sunforest from people. Being "walking distance" from campus is attractive though.
 
ive got friends in both complexes..IMO i would choose sunforest (directly across the street from the dolphins training center) because it seems more spacious..higher ceilings.. each of the complexes are big itself..so if ur on the other end of the complex it may not be so walking distance..definately biking distance tho..
 
You rock! Thanks for the info Drmikeylu!
 
Has anyone heard anything about Palm Trace? Pros/cons?
 
I live at palm trace currently...Pros not too close..not too far the route to go to school from palm trace also deals with WAY less traffic ..

Pros: cheap if you have more roommates (1700/mo for 3 ppl) My portion is the most expensive (big room + my own restroom 630/mo) utilities split 3 way is also cheaper..also FULL sized washer/dryer in the apt. wood floor kitchen, everywhere else carpet except bathroom ofcourse...my room also has a huge walk in closet. i can take pics if ppl want..Palm trace also has a lot of amenities (2 or 3 gyms, pools, etc.) they also have a huge lake so if u wanna shell out more money u can have an apt with lake view, all rooms have balconies too.. OH and its right across the street from a Publix (grocery store)..and is connected to a gas station and a CVS (super convenient when u get sick and need some quick drugs)

Cons: can be expensive for 2 ppl or 1 person...i think its near 700/mon for 2 ppl and over 1 G for a 1 br...The biggest con is the Trash system here..you have to take your trash to 1 of 2 places...and since im inbetween both places it sucks...theres one in the front office and another towards the back somewhere....so u'll frequently see ppl driving with trash and crap in their trunk..so they drive the trash to the dumpsters...thats by far the biggest flaw..everything else is pretty much perfect...No party animals near where i am..so i have no problems with noise level when im trying to go to sleep b4 a test or watever.

Awesome. If you could provide pictures, it'd be nice since many of these places have floor plans, but it's hard to imagine the orientation and quality of things from just that. Thanks!
 
I went snowboarding at Okemo today and realized I won't be able to snowboard if I go to FL... very 🙁

I don't snowboard, but I'm sure its awesome! Maybe take up surfing? I'm gonna give it a shot! Softer landings!
 
I sent NSU my decline letter, and they keep sending me those damn holday cards! I now have 3 of them! Really, one was enough. They must really want me to have a peaceful holiday season.

That's too funny. I guess they hooked me in, so they didn't bother sending me a holiday card. Little do they know that UNE is creeping up on them. Hmm...

Hi everyone,
I just sent out my 750$ "acceptance fee" today - I have finally decided where to go & i feel very relieved after weeks of indecision...

Looking forward to meeting NSU-COM class of '11 🙂

Welcome aboard the SS-NSUCOM, FutureMrsCole! 🙂

That is what Thanksgiving break, Winter break, and maybe Spring Break (depending on when it falls--it changes every year) are for. 😉

There are a lot of snowboarders/skiiers in my class--and they seem to find several 3 day weekends to fly north for a last second trip. 2nd year especially, there are quite a few weekends that you can get away for 3 or 4 days w/o missing anything very important. 😀

I had to take a week and a half off bc I got in a car accident 1100 miles away and coudln't get back to FL and I had very little problems catching up except for the side effects of my injuries.
 
Does anyone know if there are minimum requirements at NSU for laptops? If so, what are they? I'm trying to see if I would have to update or get another one.
 
no requirements watsoever....only the dental ppl have such a requirement..

Awesome!👍 and welcome!
 
school related..i use it to watch histo dvds...and to use the Netter's anatomy cd ...and also word processing to type stuff up...all the notes are given to you..so noone really brings there laptop to class..u really dont need a good computer for first year. save ur money and buy a good laptop later on ur career
 
I'm planning on getting by with my older computers throught my didactic years at least. I might get a tablet pc when clinicals start if I find it would come in useful. I currently have a desktop and laptop.


DrLu, do Nova students go out and play sports together or go to the beach regularly or anything?
 
good idea..thats my plan as well regarding computers.. as far as sports..there are society events..they always play different sports together..the ones that i know of so far are kick ball..and floor hockey..im sure there are more..since i recently discovered this when i was at the gym and saw a bunch of my classmates.. As far as beach..pretty much its a ritual to go after a big test if the weather permits.. it really is the perfect place to go to after a long week of studying...it keeps us all sane.

also for sports..there are a couple of my friends that joined the intramural leagues that play against other colleges/undergrad etc... so there are definately plenty of opportunities for recreation... maybe when u come down u can get me back into bball..i havnt really been playing regularly..and need someone to play against/with 🙂
 
For clarity. NSU's reputation is good. I was just saying that, at least here in the Northeast, I find that UMDNJ's reputation is stronger. That's all.
