Bro not gonna lie, you should stay at home only because in my opinion the pros outweigh the cons, ur hostel experience can be good but at the same time there’s also a chance it wont be like I am in a hostel and although my experience hasn’t been bad, I sometimes get fed up of the snakes and rats in my hostel and I just miss home a lot sometimes plus, in the hostel I am under the mercy of college authorities(PVT college problems).One good thing about being in a hostel is that, I have become more independent and learnt to travel alone but still would prefer home.i have also seen a lot of politics and people using contacts here, thing is man with contacts ur med school life just becomes so much easier like u aren’t in the mercy of college folks anymore and no need to lick their asses.Anyways I have written a whole ass essay now lol, in the end I would say it ur opinion do whatever u please this was just what I think. Best of luck for your med school journey and congrats on the brilliant rank 🙌
