Hey nairalanders,
Please I would like to get advise on whether to attend pozman medical school or warsaw med school both in poland or windsor/UMHS medical school in the carribean. I want to attend pozman because its accredited by both new york and carlifornia medical board, and I would like to work in the US upon graduation, while windsor/UMHS which is located in the carribean aren't approved by those boards so u can't practise in all American states only a few, please would like to get info on pozman city, living cost, how the people relate to black etc especially from people in poland.

If you can afford Poznan,i will advice you to go to Poznan.There are lots of foreigners studying medicine in that University,you'll meet students from UK,America,Canada etc.Poznan is a lovely city.There are many Universities in Poznan,so there are lots of foreigners.Nice parks to go to,cheap pubs in the city center if you are into shayo.All in all,you'll enjoy Poznan.
From my experience (i lived there for more than a year) people are generally friendly,have an open mind,make friends with the locals and network.There are few international churches in Poznan if you are a christian.
You can ask more specific questions on valuemd forum :

Wishing you all the best.

Thank you very much will check these sites as soon as possible

Do you know anything about warsaw ?

bukahands: Do you know anything about warsaw ?

Warsaw medical college is also a very good school as well as Krakow medical college.They are all highly recognized universities.

Thanks

Bukahands, I lived in warsaw 2yrs,don't know much abt the school though,but its a lovely and peacefull city.sometimes I gett off work(hustling) as late as 1am midnite,and its so so peacefull to walk on d streets of wawa(warsaw).my advice is u should work on both schools and forget abt the carribean. Getting polish visa nowadays is so so difficulf but if u provide admission letter for 2medical schools at the polish embassy Abuja,u stand a better chance.u can make Poznan ur 1st choice.u could even finish even finish ur 1st semester there and move to canada/usa.visa for both countries if u intend to go as a student are so so easy without stress.I did 4 kidney stone suggery in Poland and yes,the doctors they have were trained in America.( All d doctors spoke American English but d nurses hmmmnnn, so sexy nor fit speak english)...- I run things with one sha because she never see black conga b4.(Lol)

Also, when u ar abt to go for d interview, let me know so I can teach you the most common polish greetings and intros,u never know it could help if u communicate with the interviewer at d early stage of ur interview(this could send a message to him dt u are already learning d language)..-t worked for my friend who got his visa last sept,but he spent only 6months there and moved to Canada

Mikkyangel u be real guy man o, tnx for the advice, I have started the application to both schools but they will only admit by next year for their programme starting in the Falls. I will keep in touch

Good for u bro,u have enough to plan and gather enough cash,I mean when u go use transfer if need be.

Me too am going to windsor this september. As for your question NO u can't work there's barely time 8-5 everyday. Windsor is located in st kitts and nevis an island in the Caribbean very close to the US

bukahands: ...

oook....seems u knw much about the place.....what of during breaks??,...and r u going 4 d pre med programme or the main mb??

D skul is cheap when compared wif u.s and canadian skuls buh does that mean d whole money dat wl b spent for d 10 semesters wl b 4rm our parents??

Yes the school is cheap compared to US schools but still expensive in general. I will be getting the funds from my parents. I know about the school cos my friends are there. U need about $15,000 school fees and about $8,000 for rent and feeding and oda things. And breaks are about 2 weeks I am going for MD direct I have a degree

Dats per semester right?...

Buh i thought d fees was 4990/semsester 4 10 semesters?....clarify pls

I gave u d total 4990 time 3 is almost $15000

bukahands: I gave u d total 4990 time 3 is almost $15000

3 semesters per year. I think pre med is 3990/semester

Ook..yep..am goin for pre med..its 3990/semster for 3 semsters.....buh they said d fees include acccomodation,lunch,books etc..is it true?

Dr.'Hesjay:

Not totally tru, u get books, food etc by ur self as for accomodation $1000 from the $3990 is actually towards accomodation and u also pay $500 dorm sub charge which totals 1500 for accommodation which is approximately $375/month. And the room charge cud be $600 or more so each month u pay $600 -$375 =225. U cud also decide not to pay the school d $1000 and just pay $2990 in that case u will pay ur full rent by urself eg u pay the $600 monthly

Ok..i got u boss
so r u planning to pay 4 d accomodation??....or u r planning to pay d $600/month stuff....?
Which one is d cheapest?

Dr.'Hesjay:

It still d same thing just dat the school helps u arrange lease/rent agreement with the landlord while if u decide to pay direct u meet the landlord. Am going through d school. There are cheaper rooms though and rent cud b reduced wen u have a room mate

Guys if you are not going to keep the info open here then this thread will be closed.

I really don't think so and am sure ur broda wasn't studying medicine. If u go for masters its possible

I think med school in cyprus is cheaper and I think u cud work while schooling there
