Thanks I'm the opposite as I'd prefer to live in Glasgow over Aberdeen.

Yeah, the fact that everything was all on one campus really appealed to me. There's so many aspects of the course that I like.

This really is gonna be a difficult decision. I'd rather study in Aberdeen but I'd rather live in Glasgow...

Edit: 'Please rate some other members before rating this member again.' Oh...

I'm in somewhat a similar position. Really attracted to the course at Aberdeen (medical humanities ssc, community course etc.) but Southampton seems like a better place to stay (nicer weather, near london etc.) Not too sure how much emphasis to give to location and course content, especially when I'm an international who has never been to UK so all I'm basing on is information garnered from internet and people!

I think my mind is pretty much made up...think I'll firm Aberdeen some point this weekend.

Where do you think you'll choose then?

And haha, I always get that message, I blatantly rep too much

Yesss me too. I've spent wayy too much time considering the colours of everyone's stethoscopes at workk... and defo same with kitchen stuff. I was looking for an easter egg mould in tesco the other day, and spent like ten minutes considering plates and which cutlery and saucepans and stuff I'd get!

Lmao I'm a fellow "perv on all doctors stethoscopes at work to get an idea of its colour in real life and narrow my choices down". Its become almost an automatic reaction now when a new doctor comes on the ward...
Why would you need an Easter egg mould? Are you making your own?
An god has cutlery and different mugs always been this exciting?!?

(Original post by atomos)
integrated i think...although i get the terms confused haha
edit:' The curriculum is thoroughly modern, entirely systems-based, fully integrated and problem-orientated' there ya go

what colour of stethoscope you gonna go for?
and omg kitchen stuff!! forgot im gonna have to get all that, ahhh so excited to pick mugs and plates etc

Hmm... Do you reckon that's med school speak for 'pbl but not fully committing to call it that'?
Hmm well one of the F1's at work has a one which I suspect to be 'Caribbean blue' and another one had a maroony one that I liked... So I'm not sure. You?
When do you think is the right time to start buying all that stuff? I'm too excited now

[Jamal B]

Fear of sounding slightly thick here but do you really need to buy a stethoscope for your first year?

Haha, its true. And looking at what they wear... even on placements I'll have such a dilemma about clothes choices!

I am making my own, its soo much fun And I get to finish off any melted chocolate I may happen to have left over after I've finished... Haha, I'm sure it hasn't, but it really is now. And looking at my own sets of towels and a bath mat and toothbrush holder and stuff woooo

Not flourescent orange?

Nahh, I want something nice, but subtle. I just keep thinking of that junior doctors one who everyone made fun of because of her pink stethoscope.

Nah, with my complexion, it just doesn't work at. all.

[spoinkytheduck]

I've spent ages trying to pick a good stethoscope colour... But it's so hard!!
I'm thinking a dark purple type colour, I'd like to be a bit girly but 'professional'

[modini]

People are picking stethoscope colours already?

pretty much


honestly don't know how i'm gonna spend the time from now til september, especially when i don't even have the constant refreshing of emails to pass the time, gah my life is so boring!

[Ergo]

Looking at raspberry, ceil blue or red for my steth. Would really like a raspberry but don't want to be the medical student that gets picked on because of her "unprofessional" coloured steth

I really need something to do between now till Sept too, I hope that time can fast-forward itself! Should get a part-time job soon.

To pass time for now, what sports/clubs you guys thinking of joining? *Rushes off to medsoc websites*

All this talk of stethoscopes is getting me excited!

I'm definitely going to join the ski/snowboard society. I'd also like to try out surfing- Aberdeen has the best of both worlds.
