So what did everybody think of Day 1 of orientation? I sure hope we get out a lot earlier tomorrow - that was way too much sitting and talking. Anyone else have a splitting headache?

No real need to make copies. Take it to Kinko's (there are 2 in town near school) and for a few bucks they take the binding off. Most of us just brought the relevant Netter pages directly to lab on an as needed basis. The lab manual is where you can make any necessary notes.persianbbq4u said:Oh yeah, I just talked to my Big Sib, and he said it would be a great idea to make copies of revelant Netter pages and bring them into lab as reference. I would also recommend Rohen's/Yokochi's Color atlas of anatomy, which contains real pictures of cadavers with various muscles/nerves labeled (I have an old one with ISBN# 0896401413)

To quote a well-known person, "Relax"
You'll all do fine.
p.s. remember, save your notes
Congratulations!!! That's awesome! Welcome to MSU!BibiMatoo said:Hey guys, I just got taken off the alternate list today!!!! I can't believe it, I posted here a while ago how I was told I had a very slim chance of getting off the alternate list. Anyways, I haven't gotten any info yet so I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions:
-I filled out my FAFSA in March I believe, am I going to hear back from them now that I got accepted or do I have to meet up with the financial aid people?
-Am I out of luck getting a parking spot close to campus? This is one of my biggest worries..
-I didn't send in my immunization stuff because I figured I had no shot by what I was told by admissions, i hope this isn't a big deal and I could just send that stuff in now..??
-Anyone got any recommendations for a studio/1 bedroom apt. in Haslett or Okemos for 650$ or less?
Thanks a lot!
Yeah, the dpps site is only open for a specific number of hours, and they are EST only, which makes a difference if you're a Cali-boy like me. Lot 100 is what you want, although the web-app seemed to know that I was with in the medical school based upon my login information. I forgot before to tell you to make sure that you get your email and web-login set before you continue. Set up your email and make sure that you can login to a couple parts of the site (especially http://stuinfo.msu.edu), then you're ready to go. The dpps site and others will require your username/email and password, so you need those first (which you may have to call for).BibiMatoo said:Wow thanks for the help. I can't log into the parking permit site right now but I'm guessing it's self explanatory which parking lot I'm supposed to sign up for? Can't wait to start!

BibiMatoo said:Ok I'll check Brandywine out, thanks a lot. Yeah we should make it a point to know who each other is so we don't feel lonely in anatomy .

podwich said:I was accepted this past week as well so I'll be joining you in anatomy this fall. I'm still waiting to get my PID and PIN and stuff so I can register my vehicle, check financial aid, etc. Fun stuff!
marie337 said:Hey Congratulations to all of you new additions. We are getting ready for our 2nd anatomy test on Monday. It is going to be pretty rough I think. I can't believe that we've covered so much in four weeks. It doesn't seem possible!!
BibiMatoo said:Did any of the new people get their PID/PINs yet? I'm still waiting on mine
podwich said:Not yet. I called COM admissions and talked with Linda. She told me she'd work on it and for me to call next Monday to check on it.
Here's a question for anyone: Does anyone know of a place I could stay for a few weeks or so at the beginning of school? I'm going to be buying a place down there but it looks like I won't have it until the middle of September or so. I was thinking of something like a short-term lease on an apartment or even sharing someone's apartment for a while if someone is willing (I'd help pay rent, of course). Thanks in advance!

Oh well, all we can do is keep bumping up this thread (casting the bait)...
