controversial thoughts

If be really honest our medical university has many different problems. But I want to start from pluses: first - if you want to study- you may do it, second - most of the teachers are really good, third - there are just two pluses:))) Minuses- 1) the greatest problem is that you haven't any practice (except some rare cases). 2) low level of English 3) you have no chance to choose what you prefer to study 4) corruption (sometimes your ratings do not depend on you)
