I am a student of KEMU and currently waiting for my result of Final professional examination.

How much is the workload(how many hours a day)?

Study everyday. Consider the rule of Quality versus quantity.

How are the teachers?

For females teachers are a little lenient, naturally! But no distinction is made when it comes to studies. If you will not know the answer to a question or will not be alert during a lecture then there will be problems for you.

What is the grading system? (on avg. how many quizzes/tests per year/semester?)

1st and 2nd year is the most demanding year for any Medical college. There is a test every 2 weeks for anatomy and it is compulsary to pass in those tests and you will not be able to move to 3rd year or sit in its qualification exam until you pass those anatomy tests. There are 5 regions in anatomy. 4-5 substages and then a full stage for a region. By substages and stages i mean a test. 3rd and 4th year are ok, and then the final year is crucial; all 5 subjects have to studied during that year in there respective wards to decrease the burden at the end for the exam.

How are the dorm rooms? (what are the available facilities? ex: internet, bathroom conditions, housekeeping, food, electricitiy, air conditioning, heating, etc.)

They are good. Look after yourself during the first year as some mischieves takes place with new students. Report to the warden or higher official if you have any problems.

How long is the break for Eid-al-Adha? (I want to perform Hajj with my family this year...and i'm wondering how much time i'll have to take off)

You should not do so in the 1st or 2nd year. IMO: Wait till your graduation is complete.

do you know if the girls there wear shalwar-kameez or pants?

You can wear both.
