Hey guys,

I just got accepted to IAU and I'm really looking forward to starting in a few weeks, but I have some questions that maybe you guys can help me out with.

1. What is the situation regarding purchasing books?

2. In a related questions, my sister is in medical school and suggests that I purchase Gray's Anatomy. What do you suggest?

3. How many days prior to the start of classes should I arrive on the island?

4. Are there any supermarkets or clothing/department stores located a reasonable distance (less than 10 miles) from the school?

5. Do you suggest on-campus or off-campus housing, why or why not?

6. If off-campus, will I have time to arrange housing if I arrive only on Jan. 5th?

7. What is the school uniform?

8. Finally, are there any items that you feel that I should bring, other than the given necessities?

Thanks in advance for your help and I'll see you guys in a couple weeks!!
