how is the dating scene like ?? For you and others ... How is the mood around students do they get along or just okay with each other ?
The dating scene within med school is exactly what youd expect - tame and lame. Except for people getting wasted, hooking up, and thus sprouting long-term relationships (I can think of ...2? in my class so far), the dating scene within med school is not great. Also, many people are married and have significant others before starting school. I can't speak to a large portion of the class, but I assume they are not meeting dating partners because we are so busy and just bc I know them and their personalities. Personally, I'm doing ok. I met my current girlfriend through Tinder. She is an undergrad. Also, I have gone on several dates, mostly thru Tinder, but also through randomly meeting girls at the bar, coffee shop, whatever. I would guess in terms of dating life, that I am near the top of my class simply because that is important to me and I spend precious studying time pursuing those goals, whereas other people in my class focus on studying and in their free time choose to get wasted and hang out together (which I am totally a fan of as well!). I go to a big state school, so I like to leverage the med student card - to limited success. The real limiting factor is time. I am busy basically all the time. And when I'm not scheduled, I need to be grocery shopping, doing other ADL, exercising, sleeping, watching netflix, or, most importantly, studying.
The mood is an interesting question. Everyone is friendly, but cliques certainly develop. I consider everyone in my class my friends, but I don't think the feeling is mutual. Many people in my class don't know each other. I wish I was more ingrained with the "cool" group in my class, but c'est la vie. I have a few good friends, and am cool with everyone, and overall am happy.
