Hello all!
Hawlright so the deal is I'm starting med this year at UWS which I am super pumped about! I am also living on campus.
Now UWS wasn't my top preference, UNSW was, but I like the way the course is taught at UWS more anyway, so I don't have any lingering feelings of disappointment about that haha. However, one of the benefits I saw attending UNSW was that it was inner city, more established (in terms of colleges, social organisation etc), and pretty much all my friends are attending UNSW or USYD. I know that's not really a distinguishing factor when it comes to preferencing med schools, but at the moment I can't help feeling like I'll be missing out on certain experiences in life (essentially living in a traditional college, and living super inner city), and being only 17 straight out of school, I haven't had the chance to do this in previous degrees, or since I come from 2 hours up the coast. I'll also be an hour's train ride from anyone I know.
Essentially what I'm asking for is people to tell me how super duper living at UWS is, what the residential colleges is like, and to assure me that I shouldn't be feeling bummed about missing out on UNSW's social aspects ^_^

. Don't feel that you are missing out, the staff and students seem super friendly and happy and I for one am really excited about the program, despite having my heart set on newcastle for the past 5 years.
