Sofia Medical University Bulgaria.

Hey, good luck with all the application stuff, there's sometimes a lot of bureaucracy to get through but once it's all sorted it is worth it!

I'm just headed into second year now and I've found living out there pretty great, I didn't go with much in the way of expectations but the city is pretty lovely, especially in the center! Accommodation doesn't have to be far, most live within a 30 min walk of the uni/center. People generally share with one other in private accommodation costing anywhere from 250 euros to 400 euros per month (rent is always worked out in euros, not lev, the lev is tied to the euro so the exchange rate is always 1 euro = 1.95 lev).

If you're willing to spend a little more there are a number of guys who live right in the central boulevard, but given taxi's + public transport are cheap (especially taxi's), it generally works out better to live a little further out and use taxi's/public transport where needed!

My recommendation for first year would be to tell the estate agent (who I'm sure your agency will set you up with) that you want to be close to the uni and try to get a short term let, that way if you don't like it you can move about without too much difficulty

Hey guys,

I'm a second year Sofia MU student having come to Sofia via SME last year.

Overall, if you come in with an open mind and understand that some things are done differently you can have a great time! The city is a blast and there is a wonderful mix of students from all over and the medical content really is the same as what those all over the world do!

If anybody has any specific questions feel free to ask.

Hey! I've just gone with SME. I'm flying out on 22nd to look at some flats before I actually move! What are the places like that the estate agents got you?

Do you know any idea of when they'll ask us to move there? They said end of September/ start of October but still awaiting relocation dates! Just want a rough idea!

Heya, I'm also about to start second year at Sofia medical University. In Sofia, it is possible to find very modern apartments, however they do tend to go quite quickly, especially if you want to find something within walking distance of the Uni so i would strongly recommend finding something soon as I believe you year will be many more in number than mine. Fear not, there are people who can help you and facebook groups to help you For me, I was able to find something by myself as the estate agency assigned were too overwhelmed.I also came through SME and they relocated groups from week beginning 28th September last year and got us to do the entrance test that week. The notice was very short (I got my notice a week before I relocated).

Hi there I am a Uk first year med student in Sofia MU. If anybody has any questions on how things are here would love to answer them.

Hey! I'm thinking of studying medicine at Sofia medical university via InterHECS.
What do you guys think of studying there so far?

Dear Natasha,
My daughter is looking to transfer to Sofia from Debrecen for her third year in this September. She does not like it there. Could you please help me in understanding the lifestyle and exam procedure? Do you know any present 2nd year dentistry students I could communicate with your kind help. I do not wish to haste in to this decision but her happiness is important to be able to successfully finish the course. Is there a way to contact you or your parent may be. Sorry, this abrasive but do not know anyone and would definitely would like to listen to a student and their first hand experience before handing any money to any agent. I am not sure how to pm or get in touch and not sure if I could leave my email in this message. If you read this, then please guide me through getting in touch with you. I'd be very grateful. Thanks

Which university are you at? And are you looking 3rd year transfer to Sofia or 2nd year? And do you wish to transfer from medicine to dentistry?

Which Czech university? Masaryk or Palacky? Any insight on them.
By the way, Bulgaria only take transfers up to second year so you could try there- Sofia and Plovdiv are the two that accept transfers up to second year. My daughter has no chance in Bulgaria as we are looking for a third year transfer. Masaryk is our one option left to try so if you are from there by any chance, do give some insight please.
Thanks
