Hi, I was wondering if any overseas students were looking into DIMC? My dad is quite hesitant to send me here, especially living in a hostel, can anyone post a response to the girls hostel conditions and how they were able to adapt?
Thanks
Dimc campus and especially the hostels are probably one of the best in Pakistan. The hostels are very hygienic and clean. There is no loadshedding (power outrages) and there is hot water always. The food might be a problem but most of us order from outside for example dominos, McDonald's, Pizza Hut etc. most of us have fridges toasters and microwaves in our rooms. Although I would highly recommend a hot plate as well. Karachi is a very fun and entertaining city. We usually go to defence to eat and hang out. There is no place in Pakistan that is safe so we are always careful!

If your interested in medical and are not being forced, you'll do great here! That's all I can say...
Hey guys, does anyone know if the number that DIMC gives on their website is correct? I've been calling for a few days now and no-one picks up. They also haven't replied to an email I sent. It's quite important that I get in touch with them ASAP. Does anyone have an alternative number or anything?
Also, for anyone who's staying in hostels: what kinda stuff are you bringing, like apart from clothes and stuff? I'm not really sure what we'll already be provided with, so idk what to buy and what not to buy.
They say you're not allowed to bring anything, but when I went and talked to them they said they're not too strict with these things. If you really need something, they won't tell you not to bring it.
I am bringing my blanket, bedsheets, pillow, fridge, microwave, hotplate, iron, straightener + dryer etc.
Some girls already living there have one of those portable closets too because the wardrobe closets in the rooms are really small and there's no way you can fit everything in there.
The dorm rooms are pretty small so you don't want to bring too much stuff in. Each room has to beds, two small desks, two shelves, and two built-in wardrobe closets. You might also want to bring stuff for the bathroom (mats, shower curtain, soap holder etc)
And you might want to bring a small wall mirror or something.
You could bring hangers for the closet and a few plates or whatever if you plan on eating in your room.
Hi everyone. I have applied to dimc for 2014. And I have paid the tuition fee too. But for some reason if i want to cancel my admission would they refund my tuition fee? Plz help me if anyone has this info.. Plz reply asap. Thank you.
The letter they sent me says that the only non-refundable item is the admission fee.
It doesn't say anything about the tuition fee.
Therefore, it most probably is refundable.
Yeah. I m confused about it. Because I have the same letter too and I emailed dr. Tayabba like 2 weeks ago and she hasn't replied back yet. And everytime I call her she never picks up her phone. But Thanks anyways
i tried looking up dimc hostel for dude's but they only have old pictures. Does anyone have an idea as to what hostels look like if theres any common rooms what kind of meals do they provide... etc etc

O and forgot to add when can we move in to the school res?
I don't know about the male res, but the female dormitories have 3 floors and I think there are small study rooms and a cafeteria. I think that's what they use as a common room. Each room has two small beds, 2 wall shelves, two desks, an AC and a common bathroom. You have to get eveything else yourself.
Hey people ! I am also planning to go to DIMC this year In Sha Allah. And I am really grateful to the users who posted about the appliances we might need for the hostel, Thank you so much. I'm really want to see you medstudentz users in person :cool!:. I was thinking it could have been a nice thing if some users on this forum could communicate with each other and be room mates, so they could easily divide the appliances between them, which would have been convenient and hassle-free but I guess we can't choose our own room mates. Any ways Good luck everybody.
Your tuition fee will be refundable, but the admission fee and other small amounts won't be. keep calling her, don't worry they never pick up for anyone…just keep calling.

Yeah after 2 weeks she finnaly replie. She said the admission fees is non-refundable. So obviously the tuition fee and other charges are. But I still haven't decided if I should cancel my admisson or not? What do you guys think? If I cancel it I might try going into sonography here in Canada? And thanks everyone for all the info.
I actually looked at sonography in Canada/America, and what I found was that although It does pay pretty good, it's very hard to find a job after graduating. And in the end, the job is quite boring. Also, you'll be doing a lot of physics during your years at college and I personally wouldn't want that. If you really want to become a doctor, I think you should go for it. If you stay in Canada, you're going to spend 4 years and you'll have a sonography degree (or whatever it's called); why not just add an extra year and become a doctor?
That's just my opinion. If you're not really interested in medicine, then don't do it because it's one of the hardest fields you can go into and it'll be extra hard if you aren't really that into it.
Thanks for your opinion I appreciate it and I thinking I will be joining Dimc and also can u tell me when we have to be there by? Like I know classes start on december 30th but how long before that we have to be there to get settled?
Many of you have been messaging me when to move to DIMC, I would recommend you to come a day before or even on the same day of the first class. Also there will be ragging, (when seniors throw a prank on you…ex:egg throwing) nothing is serious, and everything has its limits. Its a great way to let it happen to you because it introduces you to the seniors who are really helpful when it comes to studying. If you refuse, talk back, or act like a macho man, your going to get humiliated, be left isolated, and be the laughing stock of DIMC, so come with a smile have fun, and be yourself.
And for those who are coming with an attitude of "I have connections"….umm you don't. end of the story.
C'mon guys I've been so helpful! You guys can at least like my posts!
