zrader Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hello my (new) fellow UAB family members!! I just wanted to start a new thread for those of us who were accepted for the class of 2020. I’m sure we will have a Facebook page, groupme, etc. This will suffice for now! Again, congratulations to everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zrader Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hahahaha. I'm actually looking at apartments already and placing them into an excel file with various categories. If you guys have any suggestions and/or advice for my list, please let me know! I'd be more than happy to share it when I'm finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saleem Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 UAB fam I haven’t been able to contain my excitement since the day I received the call. I will never forget hearing the words “welcome to the UAB family” from Mr.Drace. I must admit that I did already make a small purchase for the future house or apartment I will be sharing in Birmingham lol even though I haven't looked into housing situations yet. I can’t wait to meet all of you. Have a great Thanksgiving! I look forward to sharing a friendsgiving with you all next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a townhouse to rent, house to rent, or possibly buying a home. Where are you moving from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rang32 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Thank you for starting the search! I have also been looking and definitely want to get together with some roommates! My name is David Kalani, I am from Kailua, Hawai'i, and am an Athletic Trainer for a local university. Super stoked for August! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s a nurse, and that financial help would be amazing hahahaha. If not, I’m definitely looking for some roommates. I’ll put the file on a google doc sometime soon and share it with anyone who wants to help add places or just look. I’ll post back on this thread when I post it up there - will probably be this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saleem Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I've known a few co-workers go on medical mission trips with IVHQ and really loved it. They have a variety of medical mission trips and most are very affordable. Depending on where you go, some locations will let you do a lot for the patient population there or set up health promotion groups. https://www.volunteerhq.org/blog/medical-mission-trips/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
