Any more incoming students? I received the housing email, with like 20 people on it. How you all doing in terms of finding roommates?

tinkerbelle said:I think I've actually found a roommate/place to live. Now I'm just waiting to sign the lease 🙂 Hopefully nothing will go wrong. I just want this apartment hunting stuff to be over and done with. Are you still looking for a place to live, Rzarecta, or have you found one already?
Larsitron said:Yeah, I'm really stoked about my spot, about three blocks from Strong. My family and I are flying in to show them around before I make the move on July 1. I'll be in Rochester until Wednesday if anyone wants to hang out.
Rzarecta said:Hey, that just reminded me of something, is anyone going to take that remedial class? I was considering it, but the $400 doesn't really seem worth it, so I guess I will just have to catch up during school.
Rzarecta said:Tink, when you going up? I wish I was heading up earlier, but weddings are in my future, no to mention HP Book 6 coming to my door July 16th 🙄 .
tinkerbelle said:What remedial class?
Am I the only person who still hasn't received a financial aid packet yet? Isn't tuition due in July?
Rzarecta said:You will probably get a package next week with this information. I don't know when tuition is due, but don't they send us the bill next week as well?
tinkerbelle said:Oh God 😱 A bill next week? I better call them tomorrow and arrange for some loans.
Rzarecta said:By bill I mean a detailed breakdown of our tuition cost, with Rochester saying that the payment is due July 15th. Did you guys get your physical yet? Ack, I just saw that the forms are due June 30th, while I can't get a physical until July 7th!
tinkerbelle said:Have you gotten a packet or something from Rochester? Because I haven't received anything about a physical or a remedial class.
Rzarecta said:Yea, all this info of mine came in a packet the week after I was accepted. I wish I went through it more in depth when I initially received it, now I have many questions for Roch tomorrow. 🙁

IAmAUser said:The form I was sent says that they want the health history/physical/proof of immunizations by June 30, but they'll examine you/inject you themselves and charge a late fee if you want to wait until you get there 👍 If you didn't get the forms you might want to ask somebody (DiCesare?) about them...
tinkerbelle said:If anyone else hasn't received the health forms yet, here is the number you should call: 585-275-0809.
Has anyone else noticed that the people who answer the phones are always super nice (whether it's about financial aid or health forms or whatnot)? I love talking to them 😍
Larsitron said:Oh, I totally know what you mean! I've never had a less than positive interaction with anyone at the U of R. Its part of why I'm so stoked to go there!
IAmAUser said:I have a question actually.
One of the letters I was sent says "you are reminded about the need to have clothing and to dress in a manner that reflects a professional demeanor during patient interaction sessions."
As a male, what does this mean? Polo/khakis? Button down shirt/khakis? Tie? No t-shirt/jeans I'm guessing...
I'd like to dress as casually as possible without getting in trouble
thanks!
ZekeMD said:The definition changes as you go haha. During your first couple months of school, everyone will wear a shirt and tie. Khaki pants usually are fine for this. The further you go into school, dressy becomes more casual. I think you should stick with a shirt and tie for the first month or so, until you get a feel for it.

Rzarecta said:Does this apply only to patient interaction, or to classes also?
tiamoth said:Can somebody give me a list of good off-campus housing apartments (keeping in mind distance, price, and quality)? I know it's kind of late. Thanks :]
tinkerbelle said:Supposedly anything in the Park Avenue area is nice. Although it's more convenient to live within walking distance of campus. Did you e-mail anyone off of the roommate list? I know a bunch of people were looking for places and some people had openings in apts/houses close to school.
I spoke to a really nice realter who had a few studio apartments in the Park Avenue area. I can see if I still have his phone number if you want to talk to him.
tiamoth said:That would be great, tink, thanks. Also, do you know the name of the apartment complex?
Rzarecta said:Team, what is up with the $600 medical kit we all have to buy? Before I found out it was a mandatory payment, my dad went ape and started collecting all the items in the kit. Hopefully I can take that out of the tuition cost, or else I am coming to school with two of everything. 🙄
ZekeMD said:Yo Matt! Want to play some football! One-on-one. Better watch out though, I'm bigger than you!

josehernandez94 said:You don't have to buy the kit. Some people in my class opted out, you just have to fill out a form or something I think.
Rzarecta said:Thanks for responding. Do I fill out this form at school, or ask for them to send it to me? I am wondering because the tuition check is due in mid July, and I am debating whether to send in the check minus the 600 bucks.
tiamoth said:Hey guys... still searching for housing. Can somebody tell me what the White Coat Ghetto is?
tinkerbelle said:It's the area super close to school where lots of students/residents live. Have you checked out the blue book? It has some info about the white coat ghetto.
tiamoth said:Are those the University Apartments - the ones that you have to fill out an application for?
I can't seem to find my "blue book." Either I didn't receive one, or I misplaced it.... What does it look like and when were we supposed to get it? Thanks..
tinkerbelle said:Nope, the white coat ghetto is different from the university apartments.
Ohhhh, tiamoth, the blue book is aweome. I think we get one during orientation, but there is a copy online as well:
