    Loupes for 1st year students

    I bought surgitel 2.5x loupes, that are the flip-up type from a classmate for 1/2 price ($350) and I hate them. Most of my classmates use Orascoptic through-the-lens and I regret not buying those. (I think they paid $700 new). They're lighter, more comfortable and just made better. The...

    UCLA class of 2006 anyone?

    Hey ricegirl, You're lucky! I found a place south of wilshire so my walk will be more like 20 minutes compared to your 5 minutes. You're moving on the 14th? Are you just going to hang out until orientation on the 11th? My apt actually doesn't open up until sept. 6th so I won't be moving...

    Take DAT after application?

    Starting my first year in the fall-- Any suggestions for some head-start reading?

    Hey Big Poppa, Thanks for the good advice. I definitely plan on having a balanced life during school but I've been out of college for a few years now so its been a while since i've cracked open a science text. Thought it'd be a good idea to get that part of my brain working again :) Any...

    Starting my first year in the fall-- Any suggestions for some head-start reading?

    Hello all, I'm going to have quite a bit of time to read this summer while I travel, so I figure might as well get a preview of what i'll be up against come September. Any suggestions on one or two textbooks that I should start looking over? anatomy? biochem? Thanks in advance for any help!
