Things I wish I knew about Smc before getting in

I had no knowledge about sante prior to getting in. Like how it has no dorm so you have to go back and forth from where you live even if your home is really far. One of the good attributes it has is it has a cafe inside the college campus which made it convenient for students to dine there whenever they want, a really good library with all sorts of medical books. The doctors/teachers i encountered are passionate and know their materials very well so they pass on their knowledge effortlessly.
