   They SUCK!!!!!!! Before I started 1st semester last year we had to submit proof of all the vaccinations, and tetnus was one of them. Luckily I had had one 1 year prior, so rather than pay the 10 bux at the health dept to get another, I spent 15 bux...

   2ner replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students
