I know Kaplan uses the UM classrooms for their MCAT classes so they might also use UM for these classes you are referring to.

I dont know how long you have been living in miami, but by your comment i would guess it hasn't been long. I don't know either what is your idea of a "dump", but i wish i could live in that one.
Oh! and if u plan on practicing in the miami area, you better learn some spanish. Confía en mi, lo vas a necesitar.

i lived up the street from larkin. 4 minute drive.

there's nothing there. it's ordinary. sunset shops are nothing to brag about, unless you're the type that goes shopping all the time.


now i live around dadeland mall. sure, the mall is close by, and i can go there to soak in some A/c when it's hot, but otherwise, there's nothing to see around here.

again, it's a dump. perfect for students. When you guys get here and drive around, I don't think you'll be impressed. it's very ordinary. If i'm ever around Larkin again, I'll snap a few pictures of the neighborhood and let you guys see.







Kaplan being held in 7000 building??? I highly doubt it. Ross owns the whole 6th floor, where all the classrooms are located. I don't think it's in their best interest to let smu use the classrooms for kaplan...

I don't know if it's true, but the 2 doctors that came down from Larkin said that our classes would be in the 7000 building (as did the SMU faculty). They might be wrong or it might change, but that's what they said in the meeting.

that would conflict with Ross' own classes there....
unless there are other big classrooms that I don't know about on lower floors of the 7000 building.


how many people are currently in 4th semester? 200+?

There won't even be 50 there next semester and I would guess more like 25-30.

As far as living...the area is fine, but most of us need a furnished place. How easy are those to come by?

not that there were ever that many in the current 4th semester class, but 25-30? where have they all gone?

There are probably only about 30-40 "true" 4th semester students (if that many) in cayman. I'm assuming that most the 4th semesters in Maine will stay in Maine. Also, a decent percentage of students are not passing pharm. You can't be taking a class and go to Miami...

So there will continue to be a 5th semester held in Cayman just as before?

holy. what a small class.
