Join Date: Oct 2007 Status: Medical Student Location: islamabad,pakistan |  extracurriculars at shifa? hey well alot of colleges emphasize a tad too much on extra-curriculars these days, for whichever reasons that they do.Given the rigors of med school, what does shifa offer to alleviate the presures of studies on med students? I mean are there any food festivals,fun fairs,field trips,sports days,plays,concerts,parties etc etc? Anything like the usual stuff we had at school? I know shifa college has an attached hospital so these things cant possibly be on campus, but are these there at all? Or is it just studies studies and studies? |

Aside from that there is the occasional class field trip although that really depends on your class representatives as they're the ones that are generally responsible for planning them. There was supposed to be a fun fair this year although it was canceled due to security risks or some other equally silly reason. Aside from these types of random things there is generally table tennis set up in the main lobby, which seems to be a big hit with some people.

Join Date: Feb 2007 Status: Medical Student Location: California, USA | Yes, there is a talent show--I forgot to mention that earlier. It generally includes short videos, skits, singing acts, etc. There's usually a fairly good turnout of students especially since the non-educational activities at Shifa are few and far between.

Join Date: Feb 2007 Status: Medical Student Location: California, USA | There's an election for class representatives towards the beginning of the year. The exact day that it happens is pretty random and it'll probably be during a break between classes. Each "candidate" will walk around the class and try to tell as many people as they can to vote for them and get their friends to do the same for maybe 10-15 minutes. There may or may not be impromptu speeches followed by elections, which are really just based on who you like better...haha. There is 1 representative for the guys and 1 for the girls---ya know to keep the gender mixing to a minimum
