Honest cautions about Nepal Medical College.
- Bouddha/Jorpati is 8-10km from central Kathmandu — commute for social/city activities is longer than KMC.
- Fee (₹60 L SG) is second-highest in Nepal set — Terai colleges save ₹5-8 L.
- Older campus infrastructure vs newer Terai colleges — trade-off for the location + track record.
