Impressions of Bahrain

The RCSI-Medical University of Bahrain is in Busaiteen, a small town on the Muharraq island in the Arabian Gulf. Since it was founded in 2004, the RCSI has offered the unique opportunity for students to spend a semester (either JC3 or IC2) in an exchange programme to the alternative campus. On my arrival, I was warmly welcomed by the student council as they gave us a tour of what would be our campus for the next four months. It was truly state of the art, with an incredible multifunctional sports hall and a newly furbished clinical laboratory. I was touched by the friendliness of the student body and they helped me settle down in no time
