Ok well first of all, its not a problem to answer any questions you may have. As far as books go, they are mostly for your own supplement if you need it. Everything you need will be on the lecture power points and/or said in class. I used an anatomy and physiology book (which the professors base their lectures on) for one test, and I realized it wasn't worth my time to read all of the chapters covered. Biochemistry is another course which you might want to use the book for, but like I said earlier, everything that you need for the test will be given to you in the lecture alone. Internships: all of the rotations during P2 year are within a 2 hour radius of here, so I know we won't be driving far. There hasn't been much talk around here about where it will be, but I THINK we are going to have some locations in Huntsville (45 min. drive) and some in Bryan. Summer internships you select wherever you want to be when you interview for them, the school doesn't send you anywhere. Similarly, if you don't want to do a summer internship, you don't have to. Parking: TRY AND GET LOT 73 OR 18...or even 98. I can not stress that enough!!!! Lot 73 is gated and a little more expensive, but very convenient (that's what I, and most people have). Lot 18 is not gated, so it's cheaper, but competition to get it is ROUGH. I know i was like #581 on the waitlist for it. Lot 72 is paid parking, so you pay per hour. YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT. After 5 pm, you can park in any lot with any valid permit (including 72 which is paid parking, but sometimes that can get rough because there are a lot of vet students and medical students who also study in the Medical Science Library). If these close by lots don't pan out, you can always get a Lot 100 permit. That permit allows you to park in Lot 100 as well as in Lot 71, but both of these are a good 15-20 minute walk away, and your parking space isn't guaranteed. I used to park in lot 71 and I quickly realized that it was quite a walk, and it's even worse when it's raining or cold and also when I had to walk back at night. I found myself spending waaaaay more money than I wanted to on paid parking which sort of defeats the purpose of having a parking permit. You can always get a lot 100 permit and get on the waitlists for lots 73, 18, and 98. Slots update every Monday around 10 and you can trade in your current permit for the new one. I hope that answers all of your questions, 🙂 if not, please don't hesitate to ask. I have one question for you.... are you going to be here next year for sure?
I will be at college station campus.
