Members don't see this ad.

I was wondering...for two bedroom apartments, do they set it so that both people will be moving in on the same date? Or will it be random e.g. will my roomate be living there since August 1st while I'm moving in September 1st?

I think it's random because I'm moving in on Sept. 1st and my roommate is already there.

$803/year....crazzzy!

i just looked up the parking lottery results and they gave me lot 2, right next to the dental school. anybody else commuting?

 

[Mrxle3]

Thankfully, from Weyburn, I can just walk to school. Woohoo!

803???????????????///

Worst effing news of the summer.... what a friggen bummer!!!

The spots better have our name painted on them in platinum based paint and each have their own individual ex-navy seal to protect the car at night.

Also, if i don't get my roomate and financial aid info really soon... i think i'm going to apply to med school or become a stripper or do something else really bad.

 

[jk5177]

just to inform all of you, i'm moving to LA TOMORROW and will be moved into weyburn on wednesday. so if anyone is in weyburn, look for me in sycamore court! holla.

Why are you coming so early?

Get a bike! I get to dental building in 5 minutes!

Your plastic cheap-ass looking wax master will cost you 500$. A handpiece will go for 500 and above. I can name other things that will cost that much. Isn't life great?

 

[jk5177]

Thanks, but it's $61 for the book + the course. I don't think you can sell me a 1v1 CPR course =)

To the people who said housing is rude, I had the exact opposite experience. I went to their office in person while I was touring Weyburn, and they changed my move-in date from August 15 to September 1 in literally 2 minutes or less. No problems at all. Maybe you just caught the wrong rep =/

Don't buy their rip off book. I'll just lend you mine. Take that 60 or so money that you'll save and buy some dental related books - they'll come in much handier.

 

[jk5177]

Always selling things! Guess you'll be good in the business aspect of dentistry, huh?

*end post-whoring. Not that I can catch up to Eric or Jason....*

No man. Just trying to save some trees. Hey, they can borrow the book for all I care. Nick, you remember that CPR book? I don't think I've even lain a fingerprint on it since. My crazy immuno book was more useful - at least I flipped through that.

I got my assignment for Weyburn last week. I will be living in Olive Court. My view consists of the VETERANS CEMETERY, since my studio is streetside! Pretty exciting eh? Not!

For those who haven't gotten their housing assignment e-mail yet, it has your roomate info, apartment #, and move-in date (which you should already know).

I also noticed a bunch of U-hauls today, so for anyone that was wondering, I don't think that having a U-Haul will be a hassle. They also set aside the visitor parking spots for the people moving in (but I think they only do this on the 1st and 15th of Aug and Sep).

I really enjoy living at the place myself - hope nobody moves in with me forever.

Look at the bright side. Every time I see the cemetery, it reminds me of how fragile life even though statistically woman live to 80 and man live to 76, but we really are just few minutes away from death. Why aren't we experiencing tragedy? Why aren't we in the Lebanese/Israeli conflict? Being at UCLA School of Dentistry is a huge tremendous privelege that the universe/God/past-merits has allowed for it to happen.

 

[jk5177]

Every time, I walk past the corner of Westwood and Wilshire, it reminded me of the bus I took when I came to UCLA for waxing workshops. I'm not here to preach, but when I hear my classmates disliking summer school, and other negativities - it behooves me, and practically ire the heck out of me. Dude. As dentists, we'll be making more money than 90% of the US population. What more can we ask for? Easier classes? More summer? Less clinic? Better administration? STFU and enjoy the school. School is hard? Go build a fence in a hot summer day. Go be a gardener. Go be a secretary who basically have to take direction day in and day out.

- just my little rant on dental students who rant. You can say that I fall in the category of dental students who rant - well yes, it is a loop isn't it.

very good idea. I may bring my bike. Does anyone know if there is a safe place for bikes near UCLA SOD?

Yes there is, so I wouldn't worry about it, but don't take you expensive bike here. My earlier one was stolen here.

You will learn to love your wax master. It's worth more than the $500 you paid for it. It probably cost $50 to make, but I'd pay over $500 for it.

Handpiece, $500? A slowspeed handpiece with motor, torque adapter, and angle latch attachment will run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $850. I hope you incoming first years get hooked up with the titanium Star dental handpieces. They're sweeeeeeeeeet.

 

[ziptree]

You're in a 2 bedroom by yourself? They'll move someone in. =/

I got lucky and got my entire place to myself first year. It was pretty sexy.

 

[ziptree]

Every time, I walk past ... Less clinic? Better administration? STFU and enjoy the school.

No school is run in the most optimal way possible. So that's what most of us rant/rave about. I don't think anyone of us, when asked, will say we're not fortunate for being here.

It's just getting ONE appointment for a patient will require you running from your computer to the GPA's desk to check for Perio coverage, and then down to the lobby to get an OD appointment...and not just *any* OD appointment, only those that are available at 9am and 2pm. Oh, and those are usually booked about a week and a half in advance.

If your patient can't make it when there's Perio coverage, you have to wait sometimes a week, maybe two, and up to three weeks for the next time you can see them.

So yea, you'll hear us complaining. Doesn't mean we're not glad to be here. If hearing complaining irks you, you'll hate listening to kids in the clinic. And to think, this new system is better than the one in years past! =) I'm really glad for the changes though.

Home cubes, seeeexxxxxxxxxy....unless it's given away. =/

You got the whole place to yourself for the first year!!!!? Holy &hit! That's unheard off.

Yeah. I know someone will move in, it's just a matter of time.

This is the funny part of your post.

Housing likes me, what can I say? =)

The new rule is that everyone staying at Weyburn has to throw a BBQ for the dental school within the first few weeks of class. =P

I think there was a BBQ when I was on my way back down to LA. I just came a tad late, haha....so someone, figure out when the BBQ will be! Pronto!

Does anyone know what's going on with the finaid process?

Seriously... What the FRICK!?!?!?!? I second this question! 😡

 

[dentstud21]

Are you a female dental student interested in sharing an apartment right across the UCLA Dental School???

if you are interested..plz email me ASAP at [email protected] 🙂

Neda? =P


Oh, and financial aid won't be done until you're just about to start school. Just chill out. Why are you guys trippin? You'll owe a boatload of money when you get out. That's all you pretty much have to know now, since the interest rates are going to be fixed at 6.8% for a while. No consolidation paperwork, nothing to think about. =P

 

[dat_student]

Neda? =P
...

If dentalstudent21 is Neda I know her. 🙂 She is a very studious student. 😉

 

[ziptree]

How about someone makes a post with everyone's real name? I think it'd be better than walking around class the first few days: "Are you mkdhappy? Are you mcshow21?"

I think we did that for my year when we applied...had a list of everyone's SDN name, our AIM/Yahoo contact information, and our real names. =P

Just a suggestion.

*back to boards studying, 11.56pm*

Neda is a denture master. Live with her and you shall develop amazing removable pros skills!
