I'am here at Fatima now, im a First year student and will be attending the Sept special class at Fatima. Im currently sitting in with the locals now, and also participating in their Shifting (their version of quizes) its a tough school let me tell u that. and also like myself I have been educated there in the US and the exams or quizes here at far more different and hard here. They ask confusing questions and also the instructors are tough but they joke alot in lecture. They are nice outside the class and they are very approchable.

I guess we will be classmates when u get here, My name is Shintaro. There are about 6 currently (Ambois and Amgirls) sitting in the local class, its a good practice for us, especially the test, exams, practicals and also the environment.

I forgot to anbswer some of ur questions. The school building is not that bad I think, the special class for the incomming freshmens this sept is less than 20 students. My admission experience? let me just say that I did not have a bad or hard time like anyone else and also the staffs are all friendly. I guess I was just lucky =) I mean honestly dude... everyone has their own perception in this school and also, just like back in the U.S each students say their Alma Matter is better than the other, its like our NCAA whenever or schools plays another Univ. we try to cheer for own own school and support them.

And for the Tuition fees, yes I think SLU is quite cheap compare to Fatima, that I can agree on you. But just remember this, Med school is not about where u got ur MD degree its how u practice Medicine when u finished. My family is a family of Doctors and also they are not U.S graduates they are all PI grads. And all of them are doing exceptionally well back in the U.S

Is it truth that Mrs. Santos died? My friend told me that she passed away. So the daughter is now incharged. I hope she will be kind to all the filam. I met the daughter once for my interview and she was very rude. Have u guys seen the posted by Fatimafamily about the tution? It's very curious. I hope it's not truth for all your sake. Good luck to all FU students.

Hello!

I just wanted to know who is JOSIE SANTIAGO ( Accounts / Admission / Foreign student desk ) if I got the name right. Whether tuition fees / courses as long as foreign student they transfer to her. But I never got her on the line last 3days. Thanks.
