I had a very good time in these three months at Karolinska.
I think it is a very mature university with very intellectual faculties. I
would encourage students considering Karolinska to go ahead and do a semester
there. The best thing about Stockholm is that there are people from all over
the world and the faculties are very open and receiving of the students.
Moreover KI has taken a lot of efforts to bring about ease for international
students.
One particular quote that stands out in my head is that of
the KI director (am not sure though about who said it) “The world does not need
Karolinska as much as Karolinska needs the world”. This is such a wonderful
show of the fact that KI has a lot of openness towards international students.
True knowledge is not a pool of clear water, for a pool of water is never
clear…however a collaboration of different calibers of brain, experience,
knowledge and understanding …like a clear stream of water.
It’s one thing to want, another to be wanted. The second is
always more rewarding.
KI wants you J
