<p>Hey,
Yeah I'm premed, an indian, and a UR freshman as well...so yeah, definitely, the premed program is very good here - well, the thing is there is no such thing as a premed major or whatever, so u basically major in whatever u want and u can take whatever u want cause there are no requirements from the school that you need to complete....
and as far as activities go, there are stuff to do every single day....it's just up to u to decide how involved u wanna be in stuff...like all the programs are usually on the weekends, well during orientation there were so much stuff like packed...but yeah, if u join clubs you'll be booked...but, this is on-campus...however, when u join clubs, some stuff will be off-campus so that'll be the time when u actually go off-campus, but other than that, you don't even have enough time to do all the stuff on-campus...but honestly, off-campus there isn't soooo much to do...but u know there's gotta be some...</p>
