Hey there! I'm really glad to answer this. Back when I was studying for NEET, I often found myself reading about life at MAMC to get a boost and push myself harder for the exam.

Now that I've been here for over 4 months, the initial excitement of "I got into MAMC!" is starting to settle down. I had a lot of hopes about what college would be like, and while some were met, others didn't quite pan out.

Campus-wise, we don't have a massive campus, but it's not tiny either. There's the main administrative building (the one you see in all the MAMC photos), an auditorium, the pathology block, a central library, and a bookstore. There are several hostels for both undergrad and postgrad students, each with their own canteens. Plus, there's a departmental canteen near the Old Boys Hostel that's open-air.

In terms of academics, MAMC definitely keeps a strict focus. Especially in the first year, the anatomy department is known to be quite tough. There are constant exams like Stage exams, OSPEs, and terminals. Everyone is seriously competitive, often pulling all-nighters before exams. Even the ones you think don't study might end up scoring higher than you. The syllabus moves really fast. We've already covered the upper limb, thorax, and almost completed the head and neck in anatomy.

For sports, there's a basketball court in the Old Boys Hostel for boys and another one in the Old Girls Hostel. We also have a badminton court and a TT room in the boys' hostel. The sports facilities are just okay, nothing too fancy. I try to play TT daily since it’s the only sport I play here.

As for hostel rooms, only students from outside the area get rooms in the first year due to limited space. First-year students stay in the Dhanwantri hostel until the end of their second year. Rooms are typically for 4, 5, or 6 students, but if you have a great rank, you might get a 2-seater. After the second year, you move to the Old Boys Hostel, where rooms are bigger, and by the final year, you get a single room.

When it comes to fests and events, the college doesn't focus too much on them, which is a bit disappointing. We haven't had Synapse for three years due to COVID, and while there are talks about it, nothing concrete has happened. However, we did have a fresher's event this year after a four-year gap, which broke the dry spell of events.

Life at MAMC, or any college, is really what you make of it. You can be someone who studies all the time, someone who only opens books before exams, a party person, or someone who finds a balance. Getting into a government college doesn't mean life gets easy; you still have to work hard to pass.

We definitely have our share of fun, with parties, crazy hostel antics, playing video games together, going on night outs, and just hanging out. College life is long, about 5.5 years, so taking breaks is important.

Regarding love life, you'll see couples all around the campus. It's a very couple-friendly place, with lots of greenery that makes it even more romantic, especially when it rains. Those at MAMC know just how much love there is on campus.

Let me share some snapshots from my gallery to give you a feel of life here. Here's our batch T-shirt, a photo from a hostel night party, and a pic of me trying to make a perfect smear for the 248th time. We dab, we host guests in our lecture theater, and with the Jama Masjid metro nearby, non-vegetarians are in for a treat.

And with that, I'm signing off.

Honestly, there was a time when I was so focused on getting into AIIMS Delhi that I would have even skipped MAMC for it. But looking back now, I think no college or hospital deserves that much stress. Plus, a few years here or there really shouldn't make a big difference for you or anyone else.
