Svs Medical College

Svs Medical College is situated in Yenugonda, right on the edge of Mahabub Nagar. It’s a large campus and you see students in white coats walking between the buildings at all hours. Some of them look pretty tired because they stay up late studying in the library or working over at the hospital side. The air here in this part of Andhra Pradesh is usually dry and the sun hits the concrete buildings pretty hard in the afternoon. We have a lot of stairs to climb and the hallways are long. There is always a smell of antiseptic or floor cleaner around the labs. In the canteen, it gets really crowded around noon with people grabbing quick meals of rice and dal. The staff handles a lot of paperwork every day, keeping track of attendance and exam schedules. It is a serious place because of what the students are learning, but you still hear people laughing in the common areas now and then. The grass in the courtyard stays green if we remember to water it enough during the dry season. Most of us have been working here for years and we know the shortcuts through the different blocks. It’s not a glamorous job, just a lot of steady work to keep the college running. We see new faces every year and say goodbye to others who finish their training and move on to different towns to start their own practices.
