Admissions blog: student views - "my favourite thing about U of T is its diversity"

Guest post by Azza Eissa, 1T7 (second-year medical student).

My favourite thing about U of T is its diversity and the breadth of opportunities it offers. This is why I was so excited when I got accepted into medical school here after finishing grad school. I knew there would be a lot more to do at U of T. No matter what your interests are, you will find your niche at U of T. We are challenged to be the best we can be, but are totally supported to pursue our goals.

I have been involved in the U of T Women in Medicine and the Black Medical Students Association for the past two years, where I had a blast organizing events to give back to the community and met many amazing physician role models along the way. I also had the pleasure of co-organizing the U of T 2015 Annual Medical Students Research Day Conference and the Multiculturalism in Medicine Preclerkship Seminar Series this year. The nice thing about our medical school student body is that despite us being a busy group of people with varied interests, we always strive to remain engaged and connected.
