Darla Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yes. Yes you will. It can't hurt to put a patch or pin on yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbene085 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Quick question - do the bags have a laptop compartment built-in, or one that could easily be used as such? I just got my tablet and figured there's no point in getting a case if I can just carry it in the backpack (which would be way more convenient anyway).

reminisce Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 i'm not sure about the laptop compartment, but you could still get those zippered "sleeve" type cases (unless thats what you already meant). I dropped my laptop while it was in my targus laptop bag and a piece of the frame came loose , luckily i was able to snap it back together, but i would recommend getting a case anyway.

I just got my tablet and figured there's no point in getting a case if I can just carry it in the backpack (which would be way more convenient anyway). Judging by the spy photo posted above, the style of the bags have not changed. If the bag style does remain identical, then there is a separate labtop compartment. It's not amazingly padded, but it is an "off-the-floor" design and does its job. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Stark Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I like it well enough that I've been using it for the past week. It has lots of useful pockets - if I really need to carry a lot of stuff, I'll probably switch back to my old red one (which is actually only a few months old). Haven't tried packing my laptop in yet - I suppose that will be the rest test! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylem29 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I WANT TO BE IN MED SCHOOL SOOOOOO BADLY Whenever I see groups of students walk around with these bags!!!! The pharmacy bags we get are so cheap . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerroger Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I like the bag. We actually got two bags. We got the blue CMA bag and a black UofT Medicine sling type bag. Both are really useful for identifying people in your class on the street or around campus. That reason alone makes it pretty cool. I think both bags are pretty nice for carrying stuff as well. If you only have a few notes (like when you are visit a hospital) whip out the black sling bag. If you have a bunch of stuff (like when your going to class) go to the blue CMA bag. For everyday stuff I tend to like the blue CMA bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerroger Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 wow! are they gonna start giving you clothes next! Haha too late, we already got TWO t-shirts. I don't really like them and I think I will use them as PJs. Plus I also got a water bottle, travel mug, book on Osler, clinical exam guide, lil' thing of mints and a years supply of pens and highlighters. So I guess you can say the freebies start early, as in day one of med school. But when you look at the tuition I pay you soon realise that many things are not really free, they only APPEAR free.... For example, the "free" private transportation I get too and from the hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerroger Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 What's the private transportation, the UHN shuttle bus? Hahaha! No it is not the good ol' "private" bus. But my transportation isn't anything luxurious I assure you. I don't want to give too much away because it could ruin my anonymity. I heard the bus is very nice however.

A-Stark Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hey, you got the Osler book too? Think you'll actually read it? Doctors NS provided us with complimentary stethoscopes Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerroger Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hey, you got the Osler book too? Think you'll actually read it? If I had time in my life I would take a look at it. But UofT pretty much owns me right now... But I took a history of med class a few years ago and learned about Osler. He is a fascinating guy being a Canadian who changed the medical world and all. The book probably is a good read. Maybe I will crack it open while doing an observership up north or something this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madz25 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 WHAT?! I WANT A STETHOSCOPE! We got a tshirt. I tried to read Osler but it is the most BORING book ever. I bought the history of medicine book... "A scandalously short intro" ... it was excellent. Why can't they give us that one instead. just to add to the list of free stuff...new brunswick students get a free stethoscope in first year and a PDA in 2nd year (you can take the monetary value of the PDA if you prefer) ofcourse all the extra goodies from doctors NS - reflex hammers, tuning forks etc. oh and all the stuff from o-week (t-shirts, mugs etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webshy Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 So do you guys like them? Meh is all I can say. I like my backpack! It has lots of sections - one for my books & laptop, one for my lunch, and one for pens/pencils/etc. There are also separate pockets for my keys, waterbottle and umbrella.

I vote RED for the 2013s. The color is most important for finding classmates out of a crowd. So I THINK 2010 is blue (but a different style), 2011 was green, 2012 was blue... The reasonable options are getting limited... So red it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reasonable options are getting limited... So red it is! Close! 2010 is blue/light grey. To be distinguished from 2009, which is the same blue but with dark grey in the middle. The styles from 2009 to 2012 are all identical. Keep in mind, you may be seeing first-year residents with 0T9 bags because they graduated from 3-year program medschools!
