If you're doing all those labs, the first year schedule can be pretty tight, but you should be okay as long as you do a bit of work here and there. I agree, it is hard to make friends in lectures, but it gets easier once you realize you keep recognizing people in different classes. Making friends in medical school is definitely a lot easier because the class is smaller and you see the same people in every single class and stuff. It's not really an art or science course, I guess that's more of a name. The real focus is on learning clinical skills, or I guess what most people view as "doctor skills". And yah, no electives yet.... Hey Gj,
