Why many university student poor in english? how university can help them?

Hi, I am actually planning on going to University this year.Please help me...?

• Okay, I really want to follow a university course on medical science and I am planning to do it in a Belgian University.Well, here's the deal, through all my secondary school years the syllabuses have been taught in english and I have taken all the exams in english as well but I am planning to pursue my University studies in Belgium which is a french-speaking country and follow a medical science course. The thing is that I am fluent in French but I don't know if all the technical scientific words will remain the same...so if you could please help me out with that. Also, almost everybody says that wanting to have a career in the medical field is really hard because the studies are really hard and it's better not to do it. Others have told me that it really is difficult but that if you really like it, it's gonna be okay (though they themselves said that they have on several occasions wanted to give everything up!!!) What I want to know is how far this is true and how your life really is or how it changes when you are studying medicine? By the way, I know that studying is never going to be easy and that you are always going to have to work a lot to achieve your aim but I just want to know how hard it really is... I have looked several times on the sites of the universities but they haven't said anything about that and I have until now not heard anything or had any contact with a student attending a Belgian University...so please do help me out Thanks beforehand ^_^

  Hi Dhan, That is a great question. Unfortunately, I am not a Belgian student and despite travelling and studying in over 22 countries, I have yet to meet a Belgian student. I do know that they speak French and you will probably need to review a lot of the scientific or technical French terms to prepare for your studies. I am in the medical field and both my parents are also doctors. In order to be successful in this field it takes a lot of dedication. You need to be prepared to set aside 8-10 years of your life studying and working very hard everyday to achieve your goals. Good luck.
