Places to Know and Exlpore at Rush

·      Armour Academic Center a.k.a The Academic Facility: Explore it, since you’ll probably end up spending a lot of time here. Everyone calls it the Academic Facility, or Ac. Fac. for short, but occasionally someone says “Armour” just to confuse you. Also check out the bridges connecting the Medical Center buildings.

·      Your Main Locker (fifth, seventh, and ninth floors of the Academic Facility): a.k.a. your anatomy locker, where you will probably keep your normal clothes while in anatomy lab, but also a good place to dump extra books during those long stints in the Ac. Fac.

·      The Library (entrance on the fifth floor of the Ac. Fac.): Plenty of good study space on the second floor, including “secret” areas hidden around corners and in the back.

·      METC (the computer lab, on the ninth floor of the Ac. Fac.): Check it out. Tons of programs to help with your studies – try to take advantage of them!

·      The Multi-Disciplinary Laboratories (a.k.a. the “MDLs”, seventh floor of the Ac. Fac.)

· The Bookstore (first floor of the Ac. Fac.): Where you buy your books and Rush stuff. They actually have pretty good prices, and their equipment (stethoscopes etc.) is competitively priced.

·      The Cafeteria (second floor of the Ac. Fac.): It’s what you’d expect from a cafeteria, but we all end up eating there at some point in time (especially when they give us free meal tickets). A side note: In a Rush is the coffee place to your left as you enter the cafeteria that does various cappuccino-type items. Neither In a Rush nor the Cafeteria have great hours, so you’ll often end up at Au Bon Pain.

·      The Atrium and Au Bon Pain (fourth floor of the Atrium Building): If you drink coffee and/or study late at the Academic Facility, you will probably end up spending a lot of money at Au Bon Pain. Pastries, sandwiches, coffee, etc., and open 24 hours/day. Daily ½ price bake sale 10-11pm, and everything is 25% off from 3 am – 7 am.

·      Room 500 (fifth floor of the Professional Building): Mmmm, good food. “Members only” club with all-you-can-eat buffet, so go whenever you’re invited.

·      Bursar/Cashier/Financial Aid/Registrar (fourth floor of the Ac. Fac.)

·      Student Lounge & Student Affairs (ninth floor of the Ac. Fac.)

·      Cash machines (fourth floor Ac. Fac., behind elevators)

·      Stamp machine (next to ABP on the 4th floor in the hospital near the elevators)

·      ABP (Half Price on Baked Goods from 10PM-11PM, M-F)
