What part of CA are you from? And what brings you to Utah (what made you apply here)? Any random info about yourself would also be cool.
I can't believe that there is less than two months left til orientation! Does everyone know their housing situation? I'm still trying to work mine out with Utah Student Apartments so I can get up 5 min. before class and still be on time :D

Im from Northern CA. I was born in UT so I always wanted to come back and check it out. I'm looking for student housing on campus but I can't find any rooms. I hope some will open soon. I'm also trying to talk to some friends who live in the towers and see if I can rommie up with them. I'm so excited how about yourelf? Are you from UT?

I was born in the former Soviet Union, but moved to Salt Lake City at the age of 8 and have lived here ever since, so Utah is pretty much my home. I like it here. It's a great place to study with not too many distractions, although I hear med students know (or quickly find out) how to party... ;)
 
I'm typically just a voyeur on this site, but I think it's time to jump in. I'll be at the U this fall too (another out-of-stater- Seattle). Anyone else from Seattle?

That sounds awesome. Any luck on housing yet? By the way are you from Russia or some other former USSR country?

no luck on housing :( I think i just need to find a roomie, but have no clue how to go about looking for one. I am from Uzbekistan, but don't speak a word of Uzbek ;) ...only Russian.

Dido. BTW, if you guys want to save about $15 on the new Netter's Atlas edition, go to www.abebooks.com. I just got a kick ass deal...paid only $60 with S & H! (compared to $75 at the bookstore :eek: )
 
Hi everyone, i'm also looking to join you guys next year, i was born/raised in SLC, but i've been out of state for undergrad and work for about 5 years in St. Louis. It'll be weird moving back! haha. but i'm really excited about the U and look forward to meeting the class :)

Welcome! If you don't mind sharing, where did you go through undergrad and what did you do for 5 years in St. Louis?
 
Funny, all these people from far away coming to Utah for med school and here I am, a stones throw from the med school and moving across the country the other way to go to med school... I really like the U but just thought I should spend some time out of state...at least that's what I'm tellin' people. Have fun guys!

P.S. Parking at the U SUCKS!!!! even if you get the most expensive parking pass, you have to get there before 5 AM to find a spot in those lots. Trax will take you right by the school though so I would highly recommend looking into a pass.
