actually i have rebuttal that one! i have been here for about 6 1/2 months and yes i still barely speak polish, but then again i dont even try. i hate it, it is one on the hardest languages to learn and i simply rather study for my embryo, biochem, physio, neuro, or genetics class a lot of us here feel that way so just try to barely pass the class which is already a joke (hence the spelling lol), the people you are surrounded by all speak english and i will not have to be here for my clinicals. this is getting to the education over all.....in regards to the actual sciences and what i will need and use in my medical career, it is not so bad i honestly think it is a lot harder then in the states, you are tested completly different, not well prapared USMLE style but that does not make it easy, we have some smart cookies here, i would say, many from Canada where you have to be pretty much perfect to get in medschool and it is not all cake, profs test you on the most detailed info, minute, out of a 1500 page book which you basically have to know front to back, and you do not have any additional resources (besides your friends) and it is all pretty much self study, of course, cause most do not pay attention in class since most teaachers are extreemly difficult to even understand. let alone i am still pushed in my education, so for the amount of money i am paying the crap i have to deal with here, education.....i have to say i atleast get but only cause i try and want it.

in regards to your question should i stay a year or go, it all depends on the type of person you are and what you want and what you can tolerate. positive or always pessmistic. i was kind of in your siduation and i decided that no matter where i go the only thing that will make me a doctor will be my determination. good luck in your decision
