I finished my internship at WashU Med School last month. It was fun but I am sooo ready to leave the midwest. I did my undergrad on a little university in Germany so I guess every american university campus seems large to me Your description of the campus seems nice though I am actually not really sure when the orientation is.. I was planning to arrive a month earlier because I want to give myself some time to find a car. Did you do your undergrad in chemical engineering? If not, do you have to make up for some undergrad classes? I think I'll have to take 2 or 3 undergrad classes...
Do you have any hobbies? My boyfriend and I like to do all kinds of outdoor stuff and I saw that the recreation center offers several outdoor trips, so I think we will be participating in that for sure. What does your girlfriend do?
