and are all these books available for purchase in sint maarten? or should i come come with them? thank you guys who replied to my previous question.

you might be able to buy them from an upper semester. there is no bookstore so if you decide you want them you have to order from the online bookstore or bring it with you

thanks again for replying.
how long does it take for a book to arrive there if it's ordered online? the island seems rather civilized, but i just fear the mail system might still be slow.

you could have it shipped to "the mailbox"......time from ordering to pickup on the island probably ~ 1 week or so

yeah....that is another option but four star cargo is cheaper than the mailbox.

it doesnt take that long....you should give it plenty of time. FedEx, UPS, dhl deliver directly to the school

Hey guys,

I'm taking lippincott's biochem & Netter's Anatomy so far.
I was wondering if anybody had any input for the Histology, Embryology, or MCB texts... I'm wondering if past students really found them useful, or if the notes/powerpoints for those classes were better. Also, what do you guys think about the dissector kit and those other CD's. Thanks in advance.

Histo text was useful at times. Embry too. Biochem book you can buy for 10$ here from any upper classman.

i barely used textbooks for mcb except the genetics book (i think its a different one now) because I didn't have much training in genetics. for anatomy i personally liked the rohen color atlas of anatomy as it was actually photos instead of idealized drawings.

i wouldn't buy the dissector kit or the CDs. i'm sure you can get the VH dissector from someone

Histology book was useful, but not sure about next semester since you'll have a different professor. Embryo was the anatomy exam that I did the best on, and I didn't use the embryo book at all, just the notes. It was way more in depth than what we needed. Don't get the MCB textbook. The genetics book is good, but you only use it for like 2 weeks and you can get it from the library. Definitely DO NOT buy VH dissector...biggest rip off ever.
