Leave something laying around in the open though, and yes, it'll be gone before you know it. That goes for cell phones, books, wallets, money, and anything else. Same rules as anywhere else basically... | | | |

And if you have a laptop in the hostel is can people steal it or is there security. | Dude, if you're so worried about your cell phone getting stolen maybe
A) you should figure out your priorities first and
B) you're not ready for medical school.
I mean seriously, are you some little baby kid that is going to go there with his mother and have her hold your hand to and from class? You've posted twice about a cell phone getting stolen or the security walking to and from the dorms. People like you shouldn't go to Pakistan for medical school because guess what? Life out there isn't going to be peachy keen and perfect so if you need 4-ply toilet paper on your ass, maybe you ought to just stay in the Western Hemisphere.

TNA, I'm out. | Buddy I was jus wondering...If you didn't have the answer you didn't need to come up acting all funny wit ur crap sarcasm  My neighbor's brother got killed cus some guy tried to snatch his phone and he didn't give it up. I jus wanted to knw if things are like that on the campus too or if there actually is law and order. If there isn't I wouldn't take anything expensive with me like a laptop or a cell phone. Man I luv how some ppl don't answer straight forward questions but instead try to act funny wit stupid sense of humor on which only they can laugh at  If you didn't have the answer you didn't need to reply loser  | | | |

| If farooq wants to ask questions about cellphones he has every right to. Cell phones are not an easy commodity to replace for many. | | | |

Join Date: Apr 2006 Status: Pre-Dental Location: Chi Town | Nice pics Rehan, I visited Shifa last summer, i really liked the place. Do you know when Shifa is planning on starting its BDS program? The site says its under construction, and when I went to Shifa over the summer, the girl at the admissions office told me that the structure was still being put up. Then I called Shifa about a couple months ago, the guy had no idea what I was talking about, and kinda had no answer for me. So I thought I'd ask you since you go thier and would know best.
