That's not entirely true. Especially, now with the US $$ down in the dumps. UJ, for their part, did a smart thing recently and started charging tuition in Euros. Not sure about the 'embassy warning' chexpool refers to. At this point, UJ is the most competitive English program in Poland, especially with the Cali approval in their pocket. As for the overall education, it's been hashed over this way and that on these forums. It probably doesn't differ all that much from what you'll get at PUMS or Warsaw. Though, each has issues in their own right. Not sure what to think of any of the other schools in Poland or rest of eastern Europe. Yes, the "experience" is different than what you got in Munich (former Western Germany). The East still has some catching up to do. That isn't to say that the level of education is lower. It's not. It's just that student's expectations are higher. N.American education has gotten to a point where everything is handed on a silver platter. Hand-outs in all courses. What is asked on exams is spelled out in class and in those hand-outs, and god forbid, the course master strays from the syllabus. Students go running to their deans offices and complain. US med students literally have their bottoms wiped by their administration. Well, they spend a lot of money on their education. Why shouldn't they? Eastern Europe hasn't caught up with the times, yet. There, professors still wield a good deal of power and it's going to be a chilly day in heck before they relinquish it. Still, it's coming. I guess you can wait it out. I would do it all over again.
