How was your first day at AIIMS Delhi?

My friend shared her first-day experience at AIIMS Delhi which came out to be extremely unexpected and weird. She reached her department (surgery) and the professors briefly introduced the field. A professor guided the students throughout the campus. He enquired about their accommodation and told them they have to stay at the hospital 24/7.

He went on to tell how hectic their lives are about to become and there will be days they won't be able to get any sleep or food. He advised the students to always carry their food and stay hydrated. 

He told them about the AST or the AIIMS Standard Time which is 15 minutes ahead of the entire world. He further directed the students to the Ward and introduced them to the Senior Resident. On reaching the ward, 3 seniors were assigned to the group to guide them further. The students were assigned work that continued till evening.

My friend's roommate asked him if he wanted to join him for a campus tour to which he eagerly agreed. The walk through the campus was never ending as there were so many things to see. They spotted a barber salon on the campus and a coffee spot. There was also a 24/7 library and a late-night ice cream tuckshop.

Overall first day at AIIMS is unpredictable with a lot of surprises that might leave you anxious. But the excitement of making it into the dream college overshadows all such anxieties!
