1. Yes, there really isn't much public transportantion around. The school is set off in a residential area.
2. It can get pretty damn cold

Hi!
1) Yes, you need a car! If you want to go grocery shopping or such, you will need a car. There isn't really much to do on campus so it may be boring. There's no shuttle buses or anything provided by the school.

2) It gets very cold here (below zero during the winter at times!) Bring a coat, blankets, sweaters, etc. The dorms have heat, but even so, some people say they're still cold sometimes.

Oh, you don't have a car already? If you don't, it's okay. I meant that if you need transportation out of the campus, you should get a car. The most important reason is not just for groceries, recreation, etc. but for your rotations. You have to travel to your rotation site and back to campus (if you dorm). If you can't get a car, then you can certainly carpool with the other students going to the same site. You'll figure it out, don't worry 🙂! You can get by without a car, but it can be difficult.
