First year health sciences student - Advice needed

Hello everyone,

I will be starting university in the health sciences program this fall, and I have a few questions I wanted to ask the students already in the program (or anyone with information)

  1. I saw that there are 6 mandatory courses in the first year, and you get 4 electives. My goal is to go to med school, so I would like to keep a good GPA all four years. Which electives should I take that are fun and informative?

  2. I also wanted to ask how the professors were. From what I have heard, they are not very nice and are super strict. I also saw the recent incident that happened in one of the health law courses.

  3. How is the Health Sciences with Biology program? As I mentioned, I want to go to med school, so do you think that if I do this program, I would benefit in terms of MCAT prep, or would it most likely just hurt my GPA?

  4. I live about 2 hours away from London, so I will have to likley live on res or get a place neaby, anyone doing either if its possible can you share the pricing?

Thank you, and I will see you guys this fall!
