At weekends there is plenty of time to visit the tourist attractions that Florida is famous for. Disneyland, Seaworld, Universal Studies, Busch Gardens, and Daytona International Speedway are all reasonably close to Orlando. The space centre is also by the coast, so weekends and evenings can be spent sitting on the beach. When going to bars, it is essential to take identification. Alcoholic drinks are not served to under 21s and by law anybody under 30 will be asked for identification.
Clinical experience is necessary.
Three elective places are available each month, except December, although most places seemto go to American students. Foreign students are allowed only a four week rotation. Electives are also available at Johnson Space Center in Houston. Most research occurs at Johnson and astronauts train there between missions. Electives are available for only two students at a time in April and October.
