Only 4 (6 next yr) cadavers for a class of 150+, although students report that it is not a problem because they have access to the cadavers 24/7.

No food or drinks (including water) anywhere except in the cafeteria (mainly for cleanliness and to protect their electrical equipment). " Report Response
