   The program is fun! Ive made lots of new friends! I still go out once in a while, although I don't hang out with my friends nearly as much as I did before the program. Kim pretty much summed up clinicals. The program really isn't that bad- just be su...

   I heard that csun is difficult to get into, especially if you aren't bilingual. Also, good luck getting in if you're a dude. :'( Obviously I'm biased because I'm at MSMC, but I was planning on applying to csun if I didn't get into MSMC. A homegirl's ...

    in regards to the textbooks... im not just saying this to get you guys to buy my books, but the older versions of the books are more that acceptable. a lot of us thought that we needed to purchase the newest texts to do well in the program, but its ...

    to my understanding, the tuition has covered everything so far, such as student health insurance and all associated fees [tuition does not include textbooks, so do yourself a favor and save money on books by purchasing them from someone who's current...

    The programs really not that bad. Yes, you have to study every day, but there's more than enough time to still go out every once in a while. I took bioethics @ Taylor, so that really helped me free up some time. I'm not a straight-a student (I've on...
