Beginning a new semester at Ross University School of Medicine can be challenging, particularly in the first semester of basic sciences. First semester students may wonder how many hours they will spend studying each day, how difficult the schedule will be, and how much of a balance they will be able to have between their work and their personal life.
Current and Former Ross Students How many hours a day do you typically study in Semester 1? Were you able to keep up with the workload or did you feel you were falling behind the second or third week? We would be interested to hear about your average day, how much you studied, prepared for lectures and reviews, and prepared for exams.
If you could do it all over again, what is one thing you would change? Tell us what studying strategies worked for you, what obstacles you encountered, and what advice you would give new Ross students. Use your answers to help future Ross students understand what is to come in the coming weeks and what to expect from medical school.
