Anything one says on this issue will more likely than not be construed as being racist, even if it is devoid of any ethnic or cultural slur.

However, if a medical student fails his/her final year exam, then there is no-one in the world who would want that person to practice as a doctor.

So, why burn the university property (which by the way, we as taxpayers have paid for, making it our property…)?

What do you achieve by burning the institution you want to graduate from – makes no sense to me at all.

Anyway, what does it say about the mindset and calibre of people who we, somewhere in the future, might have to rely on to save our own or a member of our families’ lives?

If you want to be a doctor, then at least act as though you have some education/ethics/upbringing, whatever!

Grow up and take responsibility for your own progress and studies – if you did not pass, study harder next time! 

Stop feeling entitled to everything you have not worked for. Work for it, then you will be entitled to it, whoever you are.

Don’t burn down the frigging campus!
