redribbon Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 People wearing green knapsacks who I see wandering in Med Sci at U of T are med students right? Do all med students get a specialized knapsack, or is it just U of T med students? Do you know what the color will be next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beleive all medical students in Canada who started medical school this year got the green backpacks. The color combination (and perhaps even the styles of the backpacks, although they have been the same style for the past three years) is unique to each academic year. From what I hear, this is the first year that they went away from the traditional blue theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Yea..the green backpacks are for all med students across the country. The only difference between them from province-to-province is the provincial medical assocation logo. Everything else is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cool - I took mine to India with me and on the flight back I met two med students from UBC! They recognized my bag! ....ok well I thought it was cool lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 The bags from our year sucked. The straps ripped and hardly anyone uses them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 The backpacks are a gift from MD management, one of the banking group that will be after you once you get in med school... It's all part of the great competition for who will get to finance your education & collect the interest! They are pretty well designed & quite useful for spotting eachother, the downside being that we accidently pick up the wrong one from time to time Edit : hum... of course our bags are still new, maybe the straps will also rip eventually... meds'10 are still wearing them though...

While the majority in my class do, there are still a fair number of people who aren't marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 degoo_...i don't remember...where did you end up going to school? Also, how was the first term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degoo_ Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 i goto UofT. First semester was great. Tons of work but not ridiculously difficult. Overwhelming at times, but it just reinforces why you want to be in medicine. what about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 UBC was good...the first term was intended to get everyone to the same level science-wise. There were tough times, but nothing absolutely ridiculous. I like the program and the city so far. I think the work will get tougher after the break because we are moving forward into the different systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redribbon Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I remember my friend and I were packing up from our biochem class which just ended in MSB, and then a swarm of ppl in green came in, and my friend (wide-eyed) was like, "Who ARE these people? Are they from some sort of organization? Are we in trouble?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
