Study / Learning at Kul Catholic University in Lublin, Poland! [5]

I met a girl that studied there and was impressive with her polish for just the 1 year program but she seemed to be a very....disaplined with her studies. I know a few teachers there that work in the English department and they are great but I don't know any that work with the teachings of Polish.

I don't think you'll have any issues with a flat. There's always something listed you just might have a hard time finding something in a close and ideal area. Can the school suggest a company to help find you a flat?

There is a few Norwegian students that practice medicine here as well. So there may be a small community that could direct you but I don't know where you might find them. Facebook maybe?

Good luck and I hope you enjoy Lublin!

Study / Medical Study in Poland [22]

A Polish medical education will NOT hold the same weight as a Western education would. No matter how much that may offend you it's just reality.

Not true. Sorry. Did you go to medical school there? Are you struggling to get a job back in the USA? Just saying.

Jeetan- As to your original question about the medical schools. There are many that have english programs. It all depends on what type of student you are. The culture is different here within the education system, so to some that may be a negative and others a positive.

Think about how well you would be able to adjust to a Polish lifestyle. Are you 21? The drinking age in Poland is 18 and I have seen students arrive, having lived w/ parents and now finally 6000 miles away and legal to drink, and they have trouble focusing. It's all depending on your character, ambition and point of view.

I think in many ways the polish school system is more focused and teachers expect a lot more. On the other hand some of the teachers don't adjust well to the American students and of course vice versa. Dig around online. Facebook even has many groups for the American medical studies. You'll get a lot of different responses that you hopefully can pile into a decision.
