    Text Messaging During Lecture

    I think texting in class is EXTREMELY rude, no matter how discreet one is trying to be. I have been in lectures before, sitting in the front, and I can STILL hear people in the back clicking away on...

    I hate my school-VENT

    Ugggg that sounds annoying. We don't have any assigned advisers at my school either until you enter the clinical program, but the Allied Health adviser is REALLY easy to get a hold of and always...

    Did I make the right choice?

    If you are interested in Health Education, I'd suggest going the Public Health route. In all honesty, you'd probably have to end up getting a MPH (Masters of Public Health) but its totally do-able....

    Scared about A&P Labs
