  How I Survived My First Month as an MBBS Student in India The transition from being a school student to stepping into the world of MBBS is nothing short of overwhelming. I vividly remember walking into my medical college for the very first time, feeling a mix of pride, excitement, and an undercurrent of fear. The crisp white coat that I had dreamt of wearing for years was finally on my shoulders, yet the weight of the responsibility it symbolized felt much heavier than I had imagined.
