Many of you are either applying or thinking of applying to medical school — but what is it really like?
I am a student. My dream has come true. A new life began. I guess it is not easy to study at the Medi-
cal College. Every day I have much work to do. My week-days don’t differ much one from another.
My working day begins early. English people say: «Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy,
wealthy and wise». I am not an early riser, but I have to get up at 7 a.m. At a quarter past 8 a.m. I leave
the hostel for the college. I go to there on foot as it is not far from the hostel where I live. Many of our
students live at home. They go to the college by bus or trolley bus.
Our classes usually begin at 8.30 a.m. Every medical school has a different curriculum. A student
goes to school for 4–8 hours of a traditional lecture-based format, and then comes home and studies.
Medical school is difficult due to the large amount of material presented and tested in each course. The
students have practical classes, lectures and seminars in numerous theoretical and special subjects. For
most students, the hardest course, right at the beginning, appears to be Biochemistry taught in the first
semester of the first year. Physiology, Pathology and Pharmacology are also very intense course.
Like most of our students I attend all the lectures as they are delivered by qualified teachers, and are
very interesting and important. We work much in class, at our laboratories and library to get deep knowl-
edge. As the students want to become not ordinary but good specialists they must study not only their
text-books but read special medical literature in Russian and foreign languages. So English, German and
French are taught at our college. To know some foreign language is necessary for every person because
its knowledge also helps to learn more about culture, science, life and other events abroad. The students
carry out research work and then make reports at the conferences. My classes are over either at 2.40 or
4.10 p.m. Right after classes I go straight to the hostel. Sometimes I go to the library to take some books
or articles necessary for my studies.
