Help i cant choose between Charles HK and Semmelweis
Hii, Im an international med student and i just got accepted to charles hk and waitlisted for semmelweis (ill retake it). But i cant choose between these two unis. As far as im concerned, both have very similar education levels/quality. I think charles is higher in world rankings but its not even that relevant.
What i would like to learn is;
1- Which country is better? Hungary or Checz??
I think budapest is definitely better than Hradec Kralove. HK is too small from what ive seen and is like a village😭😭 So i feel like id definitely have a better student life in budapest (plus, semmelweis got the best student life award in 2023) I also heard some people say that checz people are so rude if you dont knkw their language.
ALSO i read a comment on reddit that said since HK is so small, it can be toxic really quick and become gossipy. I hope thats not true😭
2- Which uni is more international friendly?
Ive heard negative things abt both unis but everyone has different perspectives at the end of the day. And usually people only talk out loud when they need to complain🤷🏻♀️
3- Education level and the faculty is really important for me. Charles HK has its OWN hospital (which is think is a BIG advantage for clinical) plus, a brand new building is being made. I dont really know about the quality of semmelweis faculty.
4- Ive heard on reddit that charles is not really international student friendly and that many professors dont have proper english which would be A HUGE problem for me. Plus, they have a really high drop out rate so this made me a little nervous ngl.. But i also read similar things about semmelweis and that some professors really make you fail to get extra one year of tuition fees or make you lose your scholarship which is not ethical at all.
I got accepted from Charles as i said but im not sure if i should still try for semmelweis or not. (Or what would i do if i got an acceptance from semmelweis) So can someone going to one of these schools help me please?? You can dm me if you want. I just need a student pov and insight abt both of these universities (negative OR positive) because im SO confused rn and dont know what to do and this gives me so much anxiety🙏🏻
