American Muslim girl thinking to go to Medical school in Poland... [87]
I visited Lodz recently with my wife who wears abaya and hijab.She is black British Muslim.
We visited a friend who has been studying at Medical university of Lodz for the last 6 years.
We did see a number of ladies wearing abayas and hijabs at the university.I also noticed that the international students dean looks after foreign students very well.
Along the streets alot of people did stop and stare at my wife some would just stop and look.
Maybe someone of the people have never seen anyone dressed like that before.
we just went about with our business and just ignored the stares.
In the shops and restaurant everyone was friendly.
There is also a very strong Muslim community at the university.They have a prayer room though no mosque in Lodz yet.
if you are a foodie like me there is limited Halal food choices although i must point out the polish people are very good with pastry you will get the best pancakes,cakes and biscuits.
Of course you can stick to veggie and seafood.
In terms of quality i think the medical uni is one of the best around - i know a few people from East Africa who have graduated.
just my thoughts
