What a mental picture. What would the rest of you be? I would be something for dessert that has both the words "death" and "chocolate" in it. 👍
That looks just about right. 👍 Though of course it doesn't go very well with crab rangoon. 😳dajimmers said:Will this do?

Hey me too!!! 👍 It was totally unexpected and I about crapped myself when I opened the package (and I mean to say that in a way that you'll assume that's not a frequent event for me.) 😳BDiesel said:
I wonder if that email includes the people who sent in their enrollment forms way back in April when they sent us the forms...phatib said:

If I had to give you a one-word answer it would be: DISHWASHER!princessd3 said:
Don't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty of people at Island Drive. I'll likely (not absolutely sure yet) be at MCC, but that's because I need as much space as possible and the dishwasher is a huge plus (uhhh, my wife hates dishes, don't tell her, she'll kill me!). Don't worry about Island Drive, I'm sure there will be plenty of people there, you're closer to the school, you've got a pool (I think), and you'll be laughing at us when heating costs double (again) next year. Basically, we're stupid.princessd3 said:
I didn't check out the actual rooms, so someone else will have to get back to you on that, but the students who lived there seemed cool, the cooked meals seemed like an awesome alternative to the microwave dinners many of us will likely utilize, the price is pretty good, and you get a big living area with foosball (I think) and pool (I'm certain). Biggest draw was that they seemed to be a cool group of people, and included some non-medical grad students as well. Oh, and the fact that the nursing school is a block away, and there's a covered tunnel from there straight to the med school. Combine the close tunnel with the cooked meals (and thus fewer trips to the grocery store), and you'd be able to spend less time outside in the rain/snow than any other student.phatib said:
Phi Ro was awesome. It's an old house that has been converted into rooms. The students each get their own room. I did see some of them, and each one is different. The biggest ones are alloted on a point system based on seniority and participation in house improvement activities, such as house government. If you lived there, you could also dispense with having a car, which would save a ton of money as well. The cost for room, board, and 3x weekly cleaning service there is actually LESS than the rent in many apartments in the white coat ghetto. They have free laundry there, free furniture for your room (though can buy other furniture if you want it), and utilities are included. Downsides are that you do have to share your bathroom, they have parking but you have to pay for a spot (though you get that spot assigned to you for the entire year and no one else can ever use it), and of course you have less privacy. But my feeling is that the pros way outweigh the cons. Honestly, I don't know why every medical school doesn't do this.phatib said:

Studio 4, Cafe Oz, the Cavern Club, and Club Necto are the clubs I know about. I think Necto has a gay night. I have only been to Studio 4, and it was alright- clubbing's not really my scene. o2sphatib said:
