Hey guys, several people have been writing my privately asking if I knew where to find the Ross booklist for 1st semester students. As of yet, I don't think a new list has been published for the upcoming May 2003 class, but please see the following link to the Ross website where a current list is posted.

PLEASE NOTE: This list is marked as current as of the January through May semester 2003. While the list may change, its not likely to do so. The professors are the same as they have been for quite some time. Additionally, the texts used are general medical texts that most medical schools use. The most current version is the most regularily available, but not always necessary.

If you are interested in buying your books used and saving money, there is a store called "Island Thrift and Consignment" near campus where you can buy your books and microscopes used. Visit www.islandthrift.com for more details. A lot of students use this service, I'd encourage you to get your things reserved early. Other options are buying new from the Bookstores International Group, which runs the bookstore on campus, or buying your book back home and bringing them down with you. For the last option, I might suggest www.allbookstores.com - the search engine there will search all the Internet bookstores to find you the best price. The only problem is getting all the books down here with you - they are heavy!

Hope this helps!
