I have recently been looking into Medical Schools to persue a medical degree. My problem is that US is all that I know and finacial wise attending school here is very difficult. I have been attending bergen Community College for the past 3 yrs and feel like I am going nowhere with them. They have been giving me the only run around and I am at a point where I want to give up but something just won't let me. I work fulltime as a medical assistant and attend school fulltime as well to be able to afford school since financial aid here just won't help me. I am just looking to get some more information besides what is on the website. I did call the school but it seems to be somewhat of a task to find someone who can answer my questions. If anyone has any type of advice on any of the following questions or even know anyone I may contact that would be greatly appreciated.

- How much is a full year tuition? Does it include supplies (books,
equipment, etc)?
- Housing prices, locations, availabilities?
- Job opportunities(certified Medical assistant & phlebotomist. Also
worked as a Surgical assistant in a dental office but not
certified) while attending school? Salary information if
possible?
- Finacial Aid available? If so when/where would I apply?
- What is the student lifestyle?
- Will knowing spanish be necessary?
- What courses should I take here that will prepare me when I get
there? Are credits transferrable?
- Should I finish my associates in Biology before applying there?
- How competative is the school?
- What can help make my transition a bit smoother if I do apply and get
accepted?
- Once I get my degree from UNIBE what would be the next step for transitioning back to the US and getting licensed here?

As you can probably see I am completely nervous about this whole thing! I'd be completely alone when going there so I need to have all aspects covered before I even apply. Hopefully someone can answer all if not some or even direct me in the right path. Thanks again!
