I don't like it when people say how much they hate February and how it always sucks for them because my birthday is in February, and, hey, not trying to be a bitch here, but stop bringing down my birthday cheer because you're pissed that you don't have a valentine

New York is super expensive. I'd say you would not be able to get a one bedroom apartment for less than $1,000 a month (maybe in some places a little bit cheaper). Go to the website craigslist.org, and click on New York, which is on the right hand side. Then click on housing and you can see how much apartments are going for. Although since it's only 6 weeks, you could sublet a place probably, except everything in New York is so expensive! Everything would cost so much more money.
You can also use that same website to look at other cities in America and how much housing is. You could live in Nashville for $400 a month or less, but I know you wouldn't want to do that. When is your elective?! Are you supposed to study whereever you go or is it like a break thing? I guess you're supposed to go to school since the school has said that you can't go to Barbados. I wish you could come to my school! I would love that! Please give me more information about this elective period. It's in December, isn't it? That means that I couldn't go somewhere with you. Maybe I could. I don't know. Tell me how it works.

From what I understand, next year we have seven six week blocks. I have to do twelve weeks rural. I get one holiday block, and one elective block. The elective we can do anywhere, but it has to be study. I always assumed it would be at a hospital, but someone said the other day that we can do it at overseas universities....I don't know. It may be flexible - there are objectives we have to fill (I don't know what they are, though), and as long as we fill them we're okay.
I'm pretty sure we can do our elective at any time. My preference being, do an elective overseas followed by my holiday block so I could travel around a bit. I was hoping to do it july-ish, so it wouldn't be so cold! That way I would have two summers. I was also wondering about the cost of food and transport etc on a weekly basis - how much do you pay? The exchange rate is slightly better than it was, but not a lot!
I will have to find out more somehow - the communication skills of the faculty are terrible, though. I envisage an afternoon on the phone, being transferred and told to hold, followed by me missing out on my preferences and the faculty changing their minds about twenty times before the end of the year. I'm also annoyed because they keep changing their mind about how much rural we have to do. They changed it from nine weeks to six weeks and now they've made it twelve weeks.

My parents pay for housing through the school, though, so I'm not renting an apartment from a landlord or anything. I have friends who have lived in the city. I will ask them these questions because I don't know as well.
