Hey guys, my name is Janet *points to screenname. I'm also attending the 3rd session of Washington D.C.

I grew up in New York City, and would like to meet some of you before we go on this little trip of ours. IM me or Email me whenever you want just to chat or anything. AIM> LilAznShawtae Email> xouchiez@gmail.com

Can't wait to see you all in like.. two weeks

My name is Anna, I am attending the D.C. Med Third session and I am really excited. If anyone wants to talk, my email address is akennedy@new.rr.com. I really hope to get to know someone before I go if not most of the people

I seem to be tailing Ryan's approach on helping with questions because I went to DC 1 too! It's okay to be nervous, everyone is but don't worry because everyone is in the same boat so everyone is extremely friendly. Your MED group will become like your family and even in elevators you're going to strike up conversations with people! It's extremely nice and the dorms are pretty good if you're considering that they are in fact dorms lol.

Everyone seems to helpful here =]

So i guess i have a couple of questions to ask the people who went already.
1. Did you bring a Laptop?
2. If you did, were you able to reach internet?
3. If not, did you know people who brought laptops and whether they were able to reach internet or not?

(I've got some school assignments to do and i was curious will the internet be of reach to me from the dorms)

Thank you in advance!!

The alumnis and the staff said it can range from having 1 roomie to having 3... so 2-4 people in a dorm room. It's all random.

janet, i heard that you can bring your laptop but a lot of people couldn't get connection, unless you have an ethernet cord?
woo hoo 10 more days =)

Oh, i see. I'm going to look up whether i can get a cord or not. Anyways, so everyone know what they are bringing?

You only have one roommate at DC and the room is pretty big so even if you don't get along you'll be okay. I didn't bring a laptop but in the common eating area I do think we had access to computers and enough people brought them that you would be able to hook up with them to use theirs I think. I think ethernet cord was needed for internet and you can buy one there if you don't bring them. Again, you're pretty busy all the time and you're pretty tired at night so I wouldn't count on doing too much work there because you want to be able to fully enjoy the NYLF experience too!

Hey everyone! My name is Lauren and I am attending DC Session 3. I am so excited and cannot wait to meet everyone. I am 16 and will be a junior. I do cross country, track, and swim team. I am also a lifeguard at the local community pool. If you want to know more just email me at margrate_orange32@yahoo.com.

Can't wait!

Hey does anyone know how many pairs or professional attire to bring and/or how many pairs of relaxed professional attire to bring I was not sure? open to suggestions?

Can't wait!

well in the booklet they gave us in the mail it said that we will be wearing professional attire about 6 times and relaxed professional attire about 3-4 times hope that helps?!

I think the booklet was about right. Everyone is forced to repeat outfits or some forms of outfits anyways, so don't worry about re using the same ones. No one remembers. lol
