“I am a medical student while everyone was fleeing from that field.” Despite the economic, social and health crises, I consider myself a “fighting student, responsible and ambitious to develop myself.”❤️
My experience at the university was very good, in addition to that, my university provided me with many internships in hospitals and sporadic training, and I finished the university stage with a very good grade. Despite the Corona epidemic, it was always keen on the distance education system to provide us with the most fruitful and best information.
General Experience
The best parts were the diverse teaching methods, culture and overall immersion in a different society for 6 years.
Humanity needs us
It’s good university but there’s no the required resources
