Guest Ceds Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Hey guys, a question for the moderators and other current mac med students: Since you don't get summers off at Mac have you noticed any additional difficulties with finances compared with other schools? We were told about a pretty extensive bursary system. Just interested in knowing how you guys are dealing with the evil issue of $$$. Thanks, Ceds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UWOMED2005 Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 I don't think it should be an issue. Even at the other schools, you don't get much time off in the summer - roughly ten weeks. Kind of hard to make a lot of coin in that time. I don't think there's many people who make significant amounts of money they can put towards tuition - in fact, many of my classmates decided not to work at all during the summer.

Guest medicator007 Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 UWOMED2005, I suppose its a little early to be considering next summer, but what is it that most people do during their first "summer" off of medical school? -Work -Research, supposedly beneficial for residency, but its so early! -Volunteer work, as if we need any more! -Travel As always ur insight and wisdom is appreciated, and now back into the wide world of protein folding diseases!

Guest Ceds Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 I was just wondering for student lines of credit... How do some of you get money for the monthly interest payments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gucio93 Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 Hi Ceds! The bursary system at Mac is indeed extensive. Most students get "some" money. Some get up to $10-12,000. There's also OSAP, and as you have said, personal lines of credit. The interest payments on the personal lines of credit can be set up so they come off the line of credit itself. Also, if you use that as your checking account, any deposit you make during a particular month (from whatever source) will count towards your interest payment for that month.
