About me
Hi!! I’m Mehreen, a first-year Medic at Queen’s. I chose to study Medicine because the course content really fascinated me and I love the idea of being able to help people and make change simply by trying my best at what I love.
College experience
My favourite place is probably the library or one of the many outdoor spaces that you can just relax in. Lectures usually start at 9am, and last for 2/3 hours. Once a week, we’ll have 3hr-long labs which are a really cool opportunity to see science experiments in action. We have three tutorials a term this week, which can be quite intense but they are actually quite enjoyable if you just see them as an opportunity to engage in academic discussion. I’ve joined netball and ISoc, which hold lots of social events as well as helping me stay active.
Advice for applicants
Have faith in yourself and try your hardest!! It sounds clichĂ© but as long as you know you’ve done as much as you can, the outcome will reflect that. Enjoy yourself and don’t take things too seriously – everything falls into place eventually 🙂
