Hi everyone,
I’ve been looking into opportunities to study abroad in Europe and came across many stories of students and professionals moving overseas. It made me curious for those of you who have already made the move, what was the hardest part of adjusting to life abroad?

Was it the paperwork and applications, the language and culture, or things like finding housing and managing expenses?

I think hearing about real experiences would help a lot of people who are considering a big move. Looking forward to learning from your stories!

Hey @Azik, this is a great question, and it's smart you're thinking about the challenges of studying in Europe ahead of time. Are there any specific countries you're leaning towards? Knowing that might help people here share stories that are more relevant to your situation

Thanks for the kind words! I’m mainly exploring options in Europe where programs are offered in English. Countries like Poland, Hungary, and Romania caught my eye because they seem to have affordable tuition and good medical universities.

I’m still early in my research, so I’d love to hear from anyone who studied or moved to these countries—what was your experience like with settling in, language, and student life?
