i am neil... i am interested in med school in lublin... please advise me ... thanksor email at dpatel1049@msn.com

Just wondering if you have any medical elective students come through the hospitals attached to your uni? I'd love to do an elective in Poland at the end of this year! (I am a 5th year student from Australia), please let me know:) beata

I'm a second year student at the Medical University of Lublin.

what do u mean with elective students?

hi! i meant do you have any students visiting the hospitals where the local students learn, to do a rotation of 4-8weeks? Sometimes electives are just organised by contact with a Professor from the specific hospital, but I thought that I might try and organise it through the local university medical school? thanks:)

i dont think we have nything like that in Lublin. i've seen for a few times students from norway visiting our calsses at the hospital but they also study at the same university that me.

u were thinking about organising it in poland only... or it would be connecting hospitals in different countries??

Hi,
I'm going to be starting the 4-yr Eng program at the university this fall (Sep 09). Anyone have dorm pics or any particular tips for incoming first years? I've been to Lublin on vacation before (visiting family during the summers when I was younger) so I think I more or less know what to expect from being in the city, but not quite what to expect while living there (I hope you see the difference) or the university life in particular. Any tips on what to bring (stuff I might not think of since I usually go there for a month or two, vs years) and anything I should watch out for/ be aware of. Also, how are the dorms?

Thanks, I greatly appreciate your help.

i dont think there is anything u should really know about. if u have been in Lublin before u know the city more or less... a good thing about med university here is that everything is close it eatch other... all of the hospitals you will have calsses in, deanery and its very close to the center of the city.

dorm for foreign sudents are a bit different then for polish but they are cool so you should be pleased.

lol my experiance of Lublin was slightly padded by overprotective grandparents to whom I'm still a preteen at best. I'm sure you know how overprotective PL grandparents can be ^_^

Are you a current student at MUL? any chance of pictures?
^_^

hehehe i just know how overprotective PL older brother and his mates can be...:)
yep i am a curret student on master degree :)
well... if u had myspace lol

odd... I thought I sent in my reply last night *shrug*
Grandparents are 10x worse. I moved to the US at the age of 8. To them, I'm still 8. This includes grandma trying to grab my hand when crossing the street when I go with her to the market there. It also includes asking my friends to be sure and look out for me when we go out (and them being the kids of people who hold my grandparents in high regard, do as told). -__-;

No myspace, I have facebook though.
If it's about the pics, can't you link to them either way? I know on facebook you can get links for ppl without facebook. Hmmm.

What year are you, and are you in the end section or the polish one? Is there a visible schism between the two, or between the US and EU english program? I've heard it go both ways...

u have sebt me the reply... and so did i !! but the messages are just vanishing !!!! do u have msn?? send me a link to your facebook!! i have it as well:)

If it is off topic, it goes to Random.

Ooooo i know whats happpening! if the message is off topic it goes to -Random- so we better talk about Med University lol!:)
i noticed today that 3 of our messages have been delited!!!
U did a right thing tdeciding to stay in dorms!!

i doing master degree now, it my first year.
i dont think there are any differences! we have the same subjects and stuff...
the only thing that comes to my might are classes in hospital where we have to deal with patients , its like internship... u probably wont have it because... u dont speak polish lol:) (at least most of u) i mean.. u will go to each of the hospitals but just to have a look probably... :)

oh, i speak it...
not too hot with reading (slow as hell) but I can communicate well enough. I can usually pass for Polish till I pull a "cram, don't know a word so let's stick a polish ending on an american one and expect everyone to understand" stunt... I've done it enough that the aforementioned friends stopped trying to correct me. I should do fine with patients after I learn a few medically-correct terms for bodily functions...

Anyway, I pmed you about those dorm pictures... still kinda curious.
Oh, and are the EU and US eng programs joined or separated? I forget if that was in one of the deleted posts (even if it is med uni related).

PS~ finally got an account so Elssha = DN

i dont have any pics of dorms, i'm sorry. i was also trying to to find something on the web side but didnt find anything. so u need to trust me that it looks fine:)

if u can speak a bit polish youre in better situation than other students :) maby u can try to tudy with polish students? or it would be to hard?

i think that eu and us joined the same program... but i'm not sure.. check on umlub.pl if u change language for english everything should be said in there

:)

medicine in PL would be difficult.
I can speak polish and read (if I don't mind spending as much per page as I spend per chapter in englins), but only conversational words. I also have a tendency to revert to the US way of using 'you' vs 'sir'... something that makes my grandparents twitchy.

I'm not sure how you even say 'vertebrate' or 'carnivore' in PL... let alone full blown medical terms. So yeah, even though my mom tells me many things sound similar (latin roots), I'd still look like a full blown idiot.

well.. at some point youre right but... on a 1st year when you have anathomy its all in latin... so its way easier for you! becaue u know it all in english... its the same.. like clavicula.. or sternum... so in stead of learning latin u may learn it all in polish :)

but its your decision:)

It's not just the words. Even if I know the meaning of the words, I still can't read effectively in Polish. It's like reverting back to when you were just learning to read... you see the word (takes you a moment to connect the letters to the word), you extract its meaning, read the rest the same way, then try to figure out the sentence's meaning before moving on to the next. I can't just scan the page and grasp the meaning instantly. I don't see t h a t when I normally read, just the word 'that'. In polish, I have to put the peices together and often sound it out to connect a series of letters with a word I know.

There's no way I could absorb medical texts that way... I'd never get caught up.
And even if my reading got significantly better I still process stuff in english, not polish.
I'm also planning to go back to the US thereafter and practice here (unless something significant happens), so learing to think in polish only to return to the states would be silly.

Plus there's that whole 'USMLE is in english' thing...
^_^

well.. youre right... i didnt think about this things in that way :)
so if u'r going back to us why do u wanna study in poland ?:)

several reasons, including the fact that I do enjoy Poland (i'll PM you more on that if you'd like). And I'm not certain i want to return, but as of now that is the plan. Also, med school here is like $40,000/yr for tuition alone. A friend is going into a program that'll run him near $60,000... though i seriously hope that DOES include room and board, or at least books.

My program is gonna run me ~$20,000 and I get to see europe while I'm at it. It's a LOT easier to head over to italy for a few days from PL than it is from the US (the jetlag alone makes you think twice, and I won't mention ticket prices)... specially since I know there are tons of student tours from Lublin that are both cheap and fun ^_^.

so did anyone get pictures of the housings? And for any US students that are going to Lublin, how did you guys like it? is it worth not going to school in the US, or should I try it here first? I got into undergrad here, in the US, but my parents are really pushing for Lublin, so should i not even try to get into med school here, and go straight to Lublin, or should i try here first?

I'm a Senior in High school, and am confused about college decisions, so as much help as possible would be great!

Thank you, DaisyG

Lublins ok. dorms are fine:) sudents.... pretty ok as well...

we should have a Polish version of this student in Poland reviews website...

yay, mine got an A-
^_^
I think what we need most is for students there to take some pics... they're worth 1,000 words, you know ^_~

Either way, I'm excited! Hopefully I'll have a good experience at the Medical U of Lublin ^_^
