Flinders, despite it's problems in DPS or disorganized nature or fly-by-the-wire changes in curriculum, is a good school. The reason I can say that is because the admin are competent. They are good doctors and, perhaps more importantly, they are good people. They are open to student feedback, happy to make changes to the course and recognize that a curriculum is an organic entity that must adapt in order to survive. Despite any qualms I may have with Flinders, do know that I don't, for one moment, regret my decision to come here. It's a wonderful place.
As for the post below... I think the demotivation would have happened regardless of where I was/am.
Now to find me some non-meddy buddies that share my point of view on life. :)

hey there...chance upon ur blog
I am about to start flinders next year!
wat's a good place nearby to live?
there are a few good places but it depends on where you want to live. Do you want to be close to the school? If so, Darlington and Bedford Park are good choices. If you want to be near the beach, anywhere in Seacliffe, Brighton or Glenelg (although public transport is tricky from there and it's relatively far) will suit the bill. Otherwise, anywhere in the city would work and there's decent public transport from there. Plus, if you're a people person (like me), then you're going to want to be in the city. There's not much going on down in the Flinders area. Actually, there's nothing going on down here. Nada, nil, zip!
Good luck and look forward to meeting you!
