Hey..
Congrats for getting into a med school! :happy: .. I hope u enjoy 5 yrs of ur life in hungry!
I just finished my 1st yr of dentistry in Poland .. N maybe I can answer your questions. As the curriculum for medical studies is same all over Europe.
Dude nothing can be more harder then AS !
chemistry :
Hmmmm? its mostly organic chemistry.. Basically they start to prepare you for the biochem which is one the major for next yr ..
At my uni we had control test after every lab class .. N we had to pass all the control test to sit for the exam! Some of the main topic I did in my lab class were :
The properties of solutions, colloids, biological fluids and concentration units.
Buffers, the ph of buffer solutions, capacity and blood buffer.
Sacchrides and lipids (organic acids, fatty acids, sugars)
Amino acids and peptides *the structural properties and reactions of AA*
The physiological properties of proteins
Spectrophontometric analysis.
The electrophroetic separation of macromolecules.
Chromatographic
We also had a lot of lectures on different topic like biologically derivatives of monosaccharide, minerals and trace elements, polymer, mechanisms of polymerization. N etc .. as those were the only one I attended!
as lec were at 7.30am in the morning!
Biophysics:
Its mostly medical related physics so dnt worry if u don?t hav any background in physics! .. God I hav a biophysics exam in 10 days! #shocked .. ammm the main topic would be own ECG.. Ultrasounds n other medical related physics!! .. N with loadz of lab classes n at my uni we had test after every seminar.
Anatomy:
Lovvvvve it .. Dude don?t just think that u only hav to do head and neck if ur doing dentistry.! .. U hav to do every thing .. Basically by the end of the 1st yr u hav to knw each single detail abt you human body!
Anyway do u knw wat book they use at ur uni for anatomy ?
buy a sabotta atlas !! * An awesome atlas n professor in east Europe just lub it! *
Netter atlas cd is life saver aswell!
(I got a huge list on the main topics of anatomy .. So I will send u that as a mesg! )
Hey don?t worry u will be fine ? as long u study and work systematically..!!!
Anyway may I ask u y u choose hungry ?

thankz a lot 4 ur advice- ur a lifesaver!!!
i was really crappin myself b4 going coz it was like stepping into the unknown.
i chose hungary basically because i have a cousin and a few friends going with me. i know its not the most legit of reasons, but my ol man was only willing to send me if my goody goody cousin went wit me to snitch on me! " oh im tellin dad- u drinking beer" etc etc !!!
i aint takin da mick or nothing, but anatomy seems a mission!!! upper limb, lower limb and thoraz are pretty minor stuff, but head n neck, neuro and pelvis n perineum? bit long innit?
so were abouts in poland are so? jagelonnian? pomeranian? poznan? hows the atmos like? is it all work n no play? or do u get to unwind as well?
i basically chose to go to debrecen because firstly coz of my friends n cousins going there. secondly the interview was held in london. for the other universities i would have to go the poland or romania etc to give the interview. so it was easier. but what i have heard is that quite a high percentage of 1st and 2nd yr students in europe flop-about 20%+. i have heard this from multiple sources- its quite shocking really!!!
anyway thanks for ur info-much appreciated. take care of urself-them poles be tall man!!!
