Initially I was invited for counselling in their main manipal university campus situated in manipal..when I reached the campus with my dad,I was overwhelmed looking at the campus..It was big,lush and green with students from different ethnic backgrounds studying under one roof...I was already excited..there were more than a 100 students in the counselling hall and I was not sure if I would even get a seat! But then by God's grace,my name was called and I already started looking at my future,being given the doctor tag...Iinitially I thought I was given admission in manipal campus,but I was informed that I would be placed in mangalore campus,just an hour away from the main campus..i was a little disappointed,but then made up my mind for it..mangalore was a totally different city for me..being used to living in a small and quiet town,i was taken by surprise..there was colour all around me..I met new friends,from different cities and even countries,it was an amazing experience..seldom did I know that these will be the people I would be spending the next five years in mangalore...the adventure started!!
