UNOFFICIAL GUIDE<br />
Cons- Timing. If you have ever bought anything from Amazon you will know that sometimes<br />
it takes a while <strong>to</strong> get things <strong>to</strong> you. If you are reading this two weeks before the first set <strong>of</strong><br />
minis then you may either have <strong>to</strong> choose the faster shipping method, or buy your books<br />
from another source.<br />
•Barnes & Noble Online:<br />
Pros- Rewards. Everything that you can get above you can get it from here. You can also sign<br />
up for their points club and receive gift certificates for future purchases. Also, shipping is free<br />
with larger orders. Also, if you sign up for a barnes and noble card, you get HUGE discounts<br />
on books.<br />
Cons- Price. Much like Ratcliffe’s you can only buy new current editions, which will cost you<br />
more than with Amazon.<br />
…HOUSING?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many options for living in and around OUHSC. I live in<br />
Norman—and well it sucks but is do-able, talk <strong>to</strong> me if you want commuting<br />
advice. <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> Village is a popular option. You are about a 5-<br />
minute walk from the BSEB and that really comes in handy when the<br />
weather gets bad. <strong>The</strong>re are also many other apartments complexes close <strong>to</strong><br />
campus: Lincoln at Central Park, Deep Deuce, <strong>The</strong> Regency, <strong>The</strong> Legacy<br />
and <strong>The</strong> Aberdeen just <strong>to</strong> name a few. I know <strong>of</strong> second years that live in each <strong>of</strong> these and<br />
they can give you the lowdown if need be. Outside <strong>of</strong> that, the options are endless. Whether<br />
it’s a house, an apartment, or a tee-pee, be sure that it is somewhere you feel comfortable<br />
living in and you can see you self relaxing there after a long day <strong>of</strong> studying.<br />
…FOOD?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many options when it comes <strong>to</strong> noon in the BSEB.<br />
Second year, David Notley brilliantly has highlighted some<br />
popular options.<br />
On Campus<br />
Student Union- Here you will find sushi, deli sandwiches, Chic-Fil-A, daily hot plate specials,<br />
candy bars and ice cream. <strong>The</strong>re is also a c<strong>of</strong>fee shop that serves a full Starbucks menu.<br />
Overall B+<br />
Children’s Hospital Cafeteria (Everett)- This is the closest place <strong>to</strong> get food. <strong>The</strong>y have pizza,<br />
sandwiches (get the cracked pepper turkey—affectionately known as “crack turkey”), hot food<br />
bar, burgers, a pricey salad bar and more! On certain days they have special items such as the<br />
infamous nacho bar! This is also a cheap place <strong>to</strong> get breakfast. Overall B+<br />
