Hi fellow students! As title suggests I am actually not US based as I am a MD student at the International Medical School in Italy. I don't want to talk about studying abroad (which is why I didn't post in the forum dedicated to international students...), but rather I want to ask for your...

I wanted to be a vet when I was younger but kinda moved away from it. I am a current sophomore psychology major and enjoy it, but I'm not in love with it. Lately I've been looking up grad school options, and every field I consider, I find myself trying to figure out a way to work in that field...

Hi all, I think this question has been in the mind of most brand new medical students. All those cute fresh faces that quickly turn into horror after they start realizing what they got themselves into. We have all been there at one time or another and we can relate to the struggle. Having said...
