Doctor of Medicine - Batch of 2022
4.4
University of Northern Philippines at the apex in Ilocos region.
Tips: There is a big cultural difference since Filipinos demand honesty and punctuality as fundamental etiquette. They are a very jolly, fun-loving bunch of people but are very obedient in what they do. They are quite open to accepting international students and show tremendous support in accommodation. I didn't avail of any scholarship since usually for international students there are None. I am extremely happy, satisfied and fortunate that I was able to study at this university and stay in the Philippines. The quality of education is at par if not better than most medical colleges in India. The quality of patient exposure that I got is at the level of any postgraduate president.
Likes (Student Life): If you want to pursue medicine in its finest form with strict mentoring and full dedication from professors, this is the right place to be. I enjoyed the camps which were conducted on regular occasions. There are a lot of events organized on a yearly basis which include fashion shows, and sports competitions both at university as well as national levels. There are clubs for international students separately as well as other clubs for the welfare of students and even for anti-ragging.
Dislikes (Part time work): Usually, there is no part-time work available for international students since the course itself takes a lot of time out of your schedule. Also off-campus, I didn't explore any opportunities except after coming back to India and finishing the FMGE exam, getting a job was not that difficult.

You need a special work permit if you want a part-time job.
Tips: It is important to be aware of the eligibility requirements before you apply to a medical school, especially if it's outside of your home country. Please ensure you know the application deadline, and if there are application fees. You should make sure your family can support you financially throughout your studies, as well as the costs of relocation and visas, if applicable. Also, if you do get admitted, please keep abreast of the changing NMC rules and regulations regarding foreign medical courses.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I have to say that the quality of the education here is phenomenal. All the teachers are well-educated and practising doctors who are all approachable and welcoming. They also provide us with well-made notes for our reference. On top of that, they let us rotate through the hospitals on their shifts, which gives us a chance to gain real clinical experience. They teach us not only the basics but also the proper ways of interacting with patients.
Dislikes (Part time work): As a student visa holder, you can’t work part-time. That’s because the Philippines considers students to be visitors and requires them to have a special work permit if they want a part-time job. In other words, all you can do is study if you are a student visa holder. That’s because part-time jobs are considered to be working, and those holding student visas are allowed to do no work at all. You can, of course, study as much as you like.

The college is above average and good for studies.
Tips: It's a good place to study, and the atmosphere is good. I did have to deal with a little bit of discrimination from some of my classmates because I'm from another country, but the faculty treated me fine. I did an internship at a hospital set up by the College of Medicine. We've also had short clinical visits to nearby hospitals with different doctors and professors from different subjects. The school is in a nice quiet area, there are some Indian restaurants nearby, and transportation is cheap. The only thing that's not great about the school is the food, and honestly, that's a universal issue. Overall, I'm totally happy with my BS and MD at the University of Northern Philippines.
Likes (Internships): The internship I had at a government hospital in ITRMC involved working with a lot of patients. About 75% of the patients or their bystanders spoke English, which was helpful. It was helpful to have the support of my co-workers and the nurses as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): I can't work part time in the Philippines as a student, which makes this a 1-star experience. Students on student visas can only study. Students on work visas can work, but there's no option for students who want to work part-time, which I feel is a negative.

The quality of education at my college was excellent. It had more practical exposure.
Tips: I had experienced a culture shift. As a foreign student I was able to interact with a lot of people from that country. It helped me grow in my personality development and functional management especially to become self-sufficient. It's easy to get public transportation in the Philippines and it's affordable. Local transportation in the Philippines is diverse and caters to different needs, ranging from affordable daily commutes to more comfortable private transport. But taxies and authorised services like Grab are only available in urban areas. Getting an immigrant visa for the Philippines as an Indian citizen can indeed be a bit challenging as the process involves multiple steps and stringent requirements especially for long-term stays like work, permanent residence or family reunification. However, it is not impossible.

University of Northern Philippines has strong curriculum, and good faculty and facilities.
Tips: The University of Northern Philippines is a state university that allows foreign students to enrol in MD after completing their Pre-med course (BS psychology, BS biology, etc and passing the NMAT exam. The scholarship programmes are not available for foreign students currently in the university. The teaching staff in the college are very friendly and cooperative. The teachers are all renowned in their own fields and will take us to the hospital for clinical exposure. The facilities are all the best in hospitals. Clean and neat environment. Almost everyone in the country knows English, so communication is very easy. The currency rate is only slightly higher than the Indian rupee. Living expenses are also similar to India. There is a wide range of cuisines that are affordable and healthy. Lot of places to see as a tourist. People are very friendly and hospitable. Safety is assured even at night, especially for women. The climate is mild except in the rainy season when there will be natural disasters like floods, and storms. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Internships): Internship at the ITRMC, Philippines provided rotations at six different departments, which provided a varied view of medical cases and quality care. The teaching staff and resident doctors were dedicated and friendly. The internship program was focused on hands-on experience that involved participants in the majority of medical procedures. There were also conferences each week to discuss cases that were admitted to the hospital. The internship also included exposure to general and minor surgeries.
Dislikes (Part time work): A student visa in the Philippines allows students to participate in part-time work under restricted conditions as long as they have permission from the Philippine Bureau of Immigration. However, finding part-time work can be challenging due to limitations on working hours and visa requirements. It's not recommended for medical students to look for part-time jobs because there's a lack of time to study, and there weren't any on-campus part-time jobs available during my time.

Rutgers University is a great college where you will meet great people.
Tips: Students should be open minded about going abroad and the feeling of loneliness at first. It can be quite daunting and scary in the beginning when you are still finding your way and trying to make friends when you don't quite know anyone. There is definitely a cultural shift to be expected but Rutgers University is quite diverse so it was a plus. I did not get any scholarship from Rutgers University. I am not entirely satisfied with the University, as I felt the faculty was lacking and could have been better. Depending on the course, it can be a bit difficult to reach professors and communicate with them. The country itself is great but I know people who do not like it as well so it can vary in individuals. The US is very spread out, and sometimes places can be far to get to, such as grocery stores. Once you start to live off campus, it is hard to leave the University without a car.
Likes (Student Life): I would usually go to my classes in the day and then spend time with my friends in the evening. The dining halls are average; however, there are many outside dining options which we used to visit once in a while. I enjoyed the option of not always having to eat in the dining halls, as it is not always good. There are many events on campus, especially because there are many Indian clubs. They host Indian events quite often and you may also join them to contribute. I used to participate once a month, usually going to a club event for a specific Indian festival, such as Holi or Diwali. There are also other clubs depending on your hobbies and what you like such as arts and crafts, magazines, fashion, business and sports.
Dislikes (Safety): There is campus security and New Brunswick police are usually on the street as well. New Brunswick can be unsafe especially as you go deeper into the town which is why everyone should be careful. There can be homeless people on the street who may bother you at times.

Vibrant, diverse and student friendly campus.
Tips: Students should know that Rutgers University New Brunswick does not have a grad curve concept in STEM courses and they are hard to score. Please prepare to handle things independently. My transition was smooth because they have apps for almost everything and a good volunteer team. Every campus although far apart, has good instructions and boards to follow. They follow a decade long tradition so things won't change much. Scholarships are rare and I recommend trying for other universities if you are tight on budget. I am very satisfied with my university and the MS in Computer Science course is decent if you are not doing research. The USA is amazing to study in.
Likes (Value for money): It has a good value for money because although STEM courses go up to 56,000$ per year, we get a lot more from the degree, like recognition and connections throughout the East and West Coast. Rutgers is one of the oldest universities with a top tier research program. Per credit amount varies every year and gets more expensive, but so do the facilities like the basic student pantry and recreation centers. The opportunities for on-campus jobs are very high. Almost everybody has a job here.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Although there are some Indian options, the food is not authentic indian. There are 15$ buffet options at the Livingston Campus which is economical. If you like non vegetarian, Busch campus has good options. I prefer cooking at home.

Tips: There are people from all cultures here, and you can always find your people. It's easy to talk to new people and join clubs because they are always looking for diversity and new opinions. The only downside is that you have to hustle a lot to get jobs and be noticed, but it's all part of the culture here. You just have to make the best of it.
