The Department of Biomedical Sciences has two tough classes in the morning.
Physiology and Biochemistry.
Beijing University has no opening ceremony, nor does it have a head teacher who follows students around worrying about their studies.
It may seem freer, but in reality, the challenge for students is even greater.
However, everyone in the Department of Clinical Medicine is extremely self-disciplined and formidable 'study monsters.' Even without teacher supervision, things don't really look any different from usual.
There are even students like Yang Qiange, who wake up an hour early and arrive at the classroom for the first Physiology lecture well before it begins.
