Hi there...

What is the tuition? and what about cost of living?

Hey Guys,

Well, Ya there are students from Chicago here. In my class there is one person from chicago and in the other years there is a couple more. If you need I can put you in touch with some of them.

Tuition is 10,500 Euros and the cost of living varies. It all depends weather you choose to live in the dorms or on your own. The dorm is 250 Euro per month. If you live off campus in an apartment it will be a little more. For example I rent a one bedroom apartment in a new building for about 400 dollars. Then I pay another 40 dollars for internet. Overall though the price of apartments varies. It all depends to what standard of livng you are use too. There are some pictures of the dorms on the website www.medicaluniversityofwarsaw.prv.pl. There will be more pictures put up once they get taken. In general food is very cheap here. If you spend 50 dollars per week, you will eat very good food. Eating out is very cheap too compared to the US. On average a dish at a good Restaurant costs 8 dollars. Beer at the bars costs 2.50 cents for half a litter and a drink costs from 5 to 8 dollars. Transportation per month costs 11 dollars. This allows you to use all the trams, buses, light rail and metro within the city limits.

Hopes this helps

Can you get a pretty good stable broadband connection there? Is it DSL or cable and how fast is it?

Well, there is both DSL and cable available. It depends on were you live. The Dormitory has ethernet with a good connection speed. If you live of campus then you usually can choose between a DSL connection or a cable connection. You also choose the type of connection you want. In my apartment I have a cable connection which is 1 Mbps/128 kbps transfer rate. More info about transfer speeds can be found on the sites of the providers.

Cable - UPC -http://www.upc.pl/ - just click on the internet link

DSL - TP -http://www.tp.pl/prt/pl/dla_domu/internet_w_domu/neostrada_tp/ - the speeds are listed in the third paragraph.

Please advice me how to send my admission package, and how did you wired your admission fee to the admission office of MUW.

Hi, i was going through the website of the medical university of Warsaw but it has limited content in english. The only 2 courses which are apperently offered in english are 4 yer and 6 yers MD, but i want to get some info on dentistry, is it also offered in english?? if so can u plz gimme the link. Many Thanks

As of right now, the Medical University of Warsaw only has the two MD programs in english. No dentistry. I know that Poznan offers it and perhaps Lodz. Here is the link to Poznan.

Does anyone know if the 6 year English program curriculum at the University of Warsaw mirrors the polish curriculum? I.e. the quality of the education is basically the same?

Also what is the story regarding recognition if the 6 year program from the California medical board? I know that the Hungarian programs are recognized in California but within the EU the polish medical schools are considered to be on par with western European medical schools.

From what I have heard a lot of people that go to Hungary end up dissatisfied and drop out or transfer to another school. The biggest reason for the high rate of weeding out is probably because at least some schools in Hungary accepted a lot of students that was not ready for the hard work of medical school to begin with.

Also, does anyone know if the English 6 year program at Gdansk has applied for California approval?

Not that I have any plans at the moment to move to the US but you never know.... also it looks good on paper if the school is approved by California.... less questions asked.

Thanks
