Not sure about central orientation package I'm sure they will email u guys as it gets closer to orientation date. U can always try calling the bookstore and see if they have it in. I think north might be the only ones that recieve it in the email.

We don't have to wear uniforms at north's orientation just says business casual.

Jenny I was going to go to financial aid but they're closed. Either way I noticed my loan went through as well as $600 of financial aid which was more than enough to pay for the tuition so I'm relieved. All I have to worry about are books and supplies. Anybody look at the list of books we need for the classes ? Soooooo manyyyyyyy. I wanted to get a head start with them through amazon or other websites but I don't know which ones exactly we need. Anybody know for north? Especially for the first semester??

The ones we couldn't do without right away were perry+potter for theory and the clinical one (the big book...not that small companion) and jarvis. Those 3 are the most important.

Glad u got it all sorted out Gaby! I'm still in limbo :confused: I hope someone in financial aid can help me out...hopefully I get someone helpful. I'm going first thing Monday morning. If I can't get financial aid or scholarships or a loan I'm gonna have to do tuition payment plan which I really can't do so here's hoping! :uhoh3:

Hi guys, does anyone who is going to south know what are the building and room numbers for the orientation? It didn't say on the email. Thanks !

dolfanjenny · Apr 10, 2015

Hi Kate-G u going to south? Yay!

They haven't said yet. They did say to check emails on a regular basis because they will continue to send out info as we get closer to orientation. My guess would be building 72 but we'll see!

For those that have insurance call them and see if they will cover your vaccinations, sometimes they cover it 100% because it can be considered preventative care. I have aetna and mines is covered my best friend has Cigna and hers was fully covered too thank god!

I know what you mean, I didn't think financial aid would kick in this quickly and that was my main concern. If you're not able to get state grants i think you can still qualify for loans. I know they suck but at least for this semester you know?

Is the perry potter book the one that in a bundle come with a study guide? I bought that big book with the study guide as a bundle already....what other book are required..i doubt we need all of these right?

Heres a screenshot of what I see

i believe those are for all the classes except NUR1210 and its lab

The perry potter one u already have with study guide also the drug book I heard we definitely need and Hammockbound mentioned another one earlier. I would also get math and maybe some supplemental ones to start then see what the professors say. Check on half.com they have some decent prices as well as Amazon.

& yes loans suck but I figured for this first semester will be fine till I get it all sorted out with financial aid once I stop working.

I have aetna too, mines was covered...all i have to pay for is the tb shot because my doctor doesn't do them, but i found a place that does it for 12$
