I am writing this post based on the suggestion of a reader, once again feel free to email me at theblackjacksparrow@gmail.com with any questions or suggestions. I'll attempt to create a series of post geared towards the incoming first semester students.
I will start off with saying that entering medical school is undoubtedly one of the biggest decisions one may make in their life, and it comes with a great deal of pressure, expectation, or anxiety for the future, especially when entering an international medical school. It is important not to look at medical school as a means to an end of becoming a licensed physician, but look forward to enjoying the journey, as most can look back and realize that the four (more or less) years of undergraduate work was not as long as it sounded when first going into college.
Your first experience on campus will be a week long orientation of things such as tours around campus, introduction to the printing system, school administration, etc. This week and the week before it (if you choose to come to the island the week before orientation starts) will be accompanied most days by an island excursion that is organized by the school. I would definitely recommend attending these tours, as it will be the best opportunity to meet your future classmates. This will be the time where people are most open to meeting new people and are unoccupied with major studying obligations.
