i will be doing medicine in china..

as the title says, i will be heading to china this november to study medicine.
im actually very nervous about this, but this is the cheapest place i can find, and from what ive heard, it's actually a decent uni.
I was just wondering , what is the best way to prepare for it?
i mean, im scared that i will struggle in the first year, im scared i might fail, and so i just thought i better study ahead or something..
so if theres any medics out there, could you please give me some advise?
the only qualifications i have is A-levels, but my grades arent really good, its just C..
so again i was just wondering if i can do anything to prepare myself..
perhaps maybe i should revise bio and chem? or something?
thanks for reading.

Have they provided you with a reading list?

Go over your A level material just to refresh your mind a little. Also thoroughly go over the things you don't quite understand or things that are harder.

Have they provided you with a list of modules? You may be able to do a little research on those modules just to give you a little headstart. Goodluck.

wel your grades sound like you are not a good student
well i would say revise bio .as much as you can.
read some articles on bio chem (thats what you going to study in medicine)
rest will be easy.just keep pace.
revise every day in china.
people there are arse. so expect hostility.

Someone else has mentioned it but... You can speak some form of Chinese, right? ;p

right now i'm currently in shanghai, china, and it's absolutely wonderful
i'm no medic or anything, but i think you shouldn't worry too much over it

although this isn't much advice, just study hard and take advantage of this great experience

thanks.. yeah thats my plan really, to just revise and keep a low profile, im actually scared as hell to even go there, but i have no choice..its either that, or no medicine..
i think i should make friends with a chinese guy ( lol evrybody is.. )
and then just hang around with him i guess..lol

How can you study a subject like medicine in China without speaking any of the languages they speak there?

a lot of luck? and a delusion(or faith) that you'll be able to master the language in 1 semester?
