So what all do I need to buy for school?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I know every school is going to have a little bit different recommendations about what books to buy, so I'd like to get a feel for what everybody uses. I also want to save up and buy these before loans come in. That way, when I get my loans, I can pay off a chunk of my car. Even if it means buying the books one-by-one, here and there. So what suggestions does everyone have?

Textbooks?
Board prep material?
Medical equipment?

What kinds of things would be safe to go ahead and pick up right now? That is, I know some books will be different from school to school, but some things are going to be pretty universal. What should I start looking at?

I already have a Netter's.

Don't buy anything until orientation at your school. Talk to upperclassmen, and see what they recommend. I don't recommend buying any textbooks until you are sure you will need them. I wasted alot of money on books I never used.
 
I'd get a george forman grill and a rice cooker if I were you. Makes cooking a lot faster and easier.
