They start a few weeks earlier. I didn't think orange was a colour, though - in the past they've rotated between grey, red and blue. It's possible they've changed it this year (I haven't seen the orange backpacks so I can't comment) but if they have OMA and the medicine symbol on them, then they're definitely med students.

I don't wanna be a creep! I had two classes in MDCL today and I definitely saw orange and red (maybe maroon) versions of the same backpack at the timmie's.

These are definitely the 2016 med students. A friend has the backpack and I see them every day after their classes in MDCL. These are the ones: https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...12395657_n.jpg

They're the med school backpacks. Orange is the class of 2016, maroon is class of 2015, blue is class of 2014, grey is class of 2013.

Haha they are most certainly the McMaster Medicine backpacks. Each year gets a different colored backpack (all medical students in Canada have these... except University of Ottawa I believe).
