Perfect, thank you! Is parking free in that area?

Hey I'm going to be joining onelife when I move and I went and checked it out. Really nice gym and there is a parking garage underneath the gym and grocery store. the gym validates for parking if you're a member.

Are the prices really that bad? I walked around in there and it was probably the coolest grocery store I've ever been in. I didn't pay attention to the prices when I was there :/

What is the schedule for orientation week like?

 

[AlteredScale]

What is the schedule for orientation week like?

Its a bit long. Start at 8 or 9am everyday (all five days) and get done between 3-5. Lots of papers to fill, TB tests, introductions of faculty and intros to how youll spend the rest of your life (studying).

They make it less painful by serving food.

Is our first year of tuition for academic year 2016 or 2017? If it's 2017, our final year we'll be paying for academic year 2021? Why does that seem wrong to me....

To my understanding, Academic years are classified as Fall 20XX-Spring20XX. So the first year's tuition would be for the academic year of 2016-2017.

Right, that makes sense to me. But if you had to choose between '16 and '17, which would it be?

@AlteredScale is this year "Academic Year 2016" for you?

I think it's academic year 2015-2016 for us! M2 will be 2016-2017!

Everyone's "academic year" this fall will be 2016-2017. Fall 2016 and Spring 2017.
Then next fall it'll be Fall 2017.
Then spring 2018. And then I F'ing graduate.

The only thing different between classes is the grad designation "class of 2018" or "2019" or "2020".

Does anyone know what iPad the 2020 class will be getting?

Also, can I buy my own iPad and use that for school instead of the one KCUMB provides? I know that I can't return or sell the iPad they provide. I prefer the 256GB Pro with cellular and am assuming that is not the one we will get.

I stole this from the class FB page. Also, I am assuming you can buy our own iPad. Although, I don't know why you wouldn't use the one the school have you.

I wish they's allow us to pay the difference to get the new 9.7" pro. The Air 2 doesn't exactly match their description of the "newest model available as of March".

If the iPads are supposed to last us 4 years, why would they start us out with last years tech. Doesn't make sense. Last years class got air 2's, the previous year got air. I'm holding out hope for the 9.7 pro so I don't have to buy one on my own.

That's why said it would be nice if they gave the option to pay the difference between the price so that we could choose to get the pro if we really wanted it. That way they could still give air 2 to everybody else if that's really what they wanted to do and it wouldn't be any skin off their back.

It looks like we'll be getting the Air 2
http://www.kcumb.edu/uploadedFiles/Content/Admissions/_Assets/Technology Guidelines.pdf

 

[reunic]

Just spoke with admissions. Looks like it will be the air 2 and from what they said we can buy the pro if we want on our own, but we would probably still be required to use the air 2 for exams. I inquired as to whether we might be able to pay the difference in cost to get the pro and they said no. Their justification is that the one chosen is chosen based on meeting technical standards. However it seems to me that the pro being the newest model shouldn't present problems to that. And as someone else said, I'd like to be able to use the Apple Pen technology during classes and what not.

Technical standards (aka, costs less money). But still, the iPad Air 2 is solid and shouldn't be a problem. I will be mostly using my laptop on campus anyways.

You can do work study at school (because they offer some jobs here) here but tbh, the whole year is demanding from start to finish. There is very little down time.

I guess I just don't see the point in wasting money...that's all. $400+ a pop for a ipad that will only be used for exams, whether paid by the school or us, doesn't seem an effective use of money or technology. I hate to have a piece of equipment that just sits on a shelf other than the exams.

You won't ONLY use the iPad for exams. I use mine for all the lectures slides, textbook pdfs, anything school related.

If I intended to use it for other purposes, such as note taking in class or highlighting when reading, yes. The apple pen interface is much more realistic in application. Not the end of the world at this point. I just won't use the ipad outside of exams. Problem solved!

Sorry that I keep clogging this place up with this issue..but what do the financial aid award letters look like? I've gotten the GradPlus credit approval email but that's about it. All of my "needed documents" have been marked complete since 05/10. I'm asking because my apartment building requires some kind of proof of income and I'm not sure what I need to provide them with.

6th edition BRS Review for Biochemistry, Molecular Biology & Genetics (new)
-This is a review book for the USMLE. I didn't end up using the book for this class because I bought it too late, but I have used other BRS books for every other course because the books are filled with really good practice questions for the course exams.

Patient-Centered Interviewing: An Evidence -Based Method (like new condition)
-Required textbook for PCM. You will have readings assigned out of this book and are tested on them. The book has some good information on patient interviewing.

I see a lot of talk on here, and in the facebook group, about people buying and selling texbooks and supplies. I don't really have the money to buy my supplies right now so I was planning on waiting until my student loan kicks in to do that. Is that going to be a problem? Do we need them right away?

 

[Higherprimate]

The only book you'll possibly need prior to loan disbursement is medical biochemistry. I don't think you'll need your medical kit until late August/early September

I agree with @Higherprimate. The good thing about getting your books early from prior students is that you get those good deals. By the time you need some books (say an atlas), a lot of the students may have already sold theirs. But no, you dont absolutely need them right now.
