The realization that this program wasn't for me

Nothing special honestly. It's just a very ordinary institute some history but overall it lacks a lot of potential attributes that make a great place to learn and grow. It could be run better then it is.

Medical university

For me, it was a big achievement to get admission at the King Edward medical university. You really have to work hard to reach this institute and even harder to survive here. But the situation is not bad.
