sxian Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 It depends on what you're looking for. Touro is surrounded by some affordable areas; many of them are predominantly hispanic with mostly Spanish speaking stores. Central Islip, Brentwood, and parts of Bay shore are probably going to be cheaper but make sure you do your research on the area. Has anyone found more information on housing? I searched craigslist and some of the cheapest options were 600-700/month for a room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc27 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Same here... but it seems kind of pointless to look for housing right now.. these places want you to move in ASAP and since we start in August, i don't know if it's worth it to check them out...

Good point. I guess I'll keep doing research so I know what an average for the area is. I just don't want to miss out on the "best" rate, you know? Are you from NY or out of state?

frankL87 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm from Jersey but too far away to commute so I'm moving to LI when the time comes. I've talked to previous students who said housing is pretty easy to find and I'm going to wait till mid June to probably start looking as most people will want you to occupy immediately. Did anyone file their FAFSA yet? If anyone makes a Facebook group post it in here so we can all join! If not, i'll try to get around to it soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbeachxlifex Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hey everyone... i'm currently in the PA program here in bayshore- by the time you guys get in i will be finished with my first year and starting clinicals. I read a lot in this thread that sounds very similar to what my class went through and I'm here to tell you, touro is very disorganized up there in administration but it is a greattt school. The people in charge of your applications i.e.: donna, brian and jen, DO NOT TEACH YOUR CLASSES. Yes it is true that sometimes classes are cancelled because a teacher is also a DOCTOR or a PA who cannot get out of work... guess what?? embrace it, you will need every second to study. If you live far away i know it sucks because you just drove allll the way to bayshore just to sit in 1 class because the second one was cancelled...but there are benefits... you get to go to the bar down the block LOL or you can hide in a room and study ...or you can sit in traffic for hours and ***** about it. if anyone has any questions.. feel free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bring their work to class, which is a good thing - lots of experience. And you're totally right about using the time to study study study haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsbeansmama Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Has anyone heard anything recently? The application cycle for next year opens next week and I don't know if I should reapply or wait. And how long do I wait since applying early is so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csangel2215 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hey everyone I also got accepted into the program starting this fall!! I'm moving from Florida so if anyone is looking for a roommate (females only) let me know. How do we know what our schedule will be? Do they email it to you or do we have to register? I am also confused of what to do now that we have been accepted. If anyone can help let me know. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc27 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hey guys! Join our facebook group! Look on the previous post for the link =D. And csangel.. I am a female looking for a possible roommate too- I think it would be the most affordable to find a house with 3/4 bedrooms in babylon but still doing some research..

rachfallon Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 what were your guys stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankL87 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hey, A few people PMed me and asked me that a few months ago. I felt weird posting my stats but at the same time, I know that was something I scoured to find on here before I was accepted. So... if you scroll back a few pages I wrote about my work experience, gpa, shadowing, etc. Like I mentioned I only wrote it because I remember very well the stress leading up to my application year and the months waiting for interviews and/or acceptances. I don't wanna be a know-it-all but at the end of the day each person is so different in terms of where they went to school, what they studied, how they performed, work experience, life experiences, and personal statement that something like GPA can't truly predict, but thats just my opinion. Maybe others on here will tell you a bit about them and that might give you a better idea of what this school looks for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vera12 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 To those who were accepted, when did you submit your CASPA application? Your Supplement? And when did you received your interview notice? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
