Balancing schoolwork and classwork. School work = class work. Balanced.
Learning about the body, let alone the why's of patho, is just another unique learning experience. Like math versus history. Just... different. The only big difference is you now HAVE to physically apply what you learn.
Time management, and be ready for a different style of education. That said, you can still learn the ways you prefer, its just what you are learning is a whole new ball game than what you have seen in any other class.
