Malaysian Students - Second Year Into MBBS Degree at Wuhan University

In September 2013, a group of Malaysian students went to China to study English medium MBBS program. These self-funded students left behind their family members, friends and comfort zone to adapt a new lease of life in foreign land and will be stayed in China for the next 6 years to pursuit their dream.

Being new in a foreign land, these unsophisticated and inexperienced young students with an average tender age of 18 years old were naive, clueless and wondering what would be their life as student in China. Little did they know, they can so easily adapted into the new environment as a student. In study, they interact well with school teachers and mixed very well with international students from other continents of the world. They also learned a hard lesson and valuable experience in life - "to be independent without family members". 

Below pictures paint a thousand words above their exciting and fascinating student life at Wuhan University, China.
