What cornell students like !

Salam alaikom wa rahmatollah wa barakatoh

I thought some of you might be interested to know what activities we do aside from studying.....

Well, we try to do a lot, only a few actually happen ! I mean, many great ideas come up, but for the idea to become reality and for you to work out all the logistics, the idea might be delayed or forgotten about....

Generally, the activities we do tend to have a medical or charity nature. Thus we have several clubs that deal with fund raising, orphans, spreading awareness, or integrative medicine.....The events conducted by these clubs can have audience only from other colleges or from all over Qatar.

However, we also have clubs dealing with religion, photography, journalism, debates, and others.

The idea is, if you are interested in an activity that isn't offered by an available club, you'd probably want to start a club of your own........Follow these steps:

1- Work out the mission of the club
2- Invite interested members
3- Work together on ideas that would meet the club's mission

It's a lot of work... but also lots of fun....

In my next post, inshallah, I'll tell you more about the kind of activities that can, and have been conducted in our dear Cornell. I'm also telling you the reason why I choose a frowning baby to represent my blogs...............STAY TUNED !!!!

By way of introduction my name is Edwin Noël, I am a 2nd year medical student at Montemorelos University in Mexico. You may be wondering what on earth I am doing commenting on your blog…….Well last summer while working at my art studio at my grammas house I came across her entire collection of National Geographics. One of those magazines had an amazing article on Qatar, which contained information about Weill Cornell Medical College. Even since then I have had that name in my mind and well finally I got around to looking it up on google and well I ended up on your blog!
I have always been fascinated with the east, the different cultures found in the many countries, and their culinary delicacies. I guess one thing that won’t change between different countries is the life of a medical student! I can totally sympathize with you; I know how hectic and tiring finals were for me! I am now enjoying a break before I go back for my 4th semester! What fun activities do you usually do during your breaks?
I love to travel, make new friends and learn about different cultures and countries. I would love to hear more about your country, culture and life as a medical student in the Middle East.
I hope you have a wonderful new year! Hope to hear from you soon.
