Hello,
Im an American high school student who has always wanted to go to Aga Khan University medical college in Karachi. I don’t want to save years or money, I want to experience living there and I am in love with the culture. Ive been working really hard to make this possible but now everyone is telling me not to go. They say it will be too hard for me to adapt to the environment there (I personally don’t think so since Im Pakistani and have gone there almost every year). Some people say I should just stay here and go to Uchicago for premed while others think going to Karachi will be a great life experience. Any advice?! Im in a real dilemma
Unless your goal is to permanently relocate to Pakistan to practice medicine, I agree with everyone telling you not to go. Would be far better to go to Chicago and do a semester abroad in Pakistan if you just want to experience living there.
