Wait until you get here to buy the lab coat. They will let you try it on to make sure it fits. It is actually by coat size number (think it ranges from high 20s to maybe 50ish).

Can you also get the dissection kit on campus?

The book list looks fine. I've said a few times that the amount of books you need is completely dependent on your study style. If you're one who needs to read it, then you're going to use those. The thing is >95% of questions are straight from the lectures and their corresponding notes.

And kits you can get on the island. Might want to put off buying it right away until you meet with your lab group. 15 sets of lab tools is excessive. At most 4 people can cut at a time. I can almost guarantee at least half your group will have bought sets before your first lab, which will be more than enough. When that happens just offer to buy a ton of blades for the group and you're good.

yes you can get the dissection kit on campus and your book list is too long - take out one of the Histo books and take out one of the netters clinical anatomy books BRS and netters clinical are similar and you wont have time to use both --- better to get close with one and keep using it

first person to find me can have my dissection kit

Ah - phur beat me to it.... he's right

P.S. bring elbow pads, mine are killing me now - although Dr. Nw says thats the sign of a good student Bleeding elbows and atrophied legs means your passing your classes!
