2. Summary(README FIRST)

   I had already had two degrees before I came to Hungary. My experiences in other universities than Hungarian include University of Helsinki medical school(Finland), University of Iowa(the US), and a graduate school in Japan. (Experiences in University of Helsinki was not before I came here in Hungary but it is after, but it would be a good comparison with Hungary.) This should be noted in the beginning, because this is my standard and this is my reference point. Hungarian Schools are compared with this (high) standard. If you are from a country with a different standard, your view might become different. Good and Bad is quite denends on a reference; good can be bad if you compared to the best one, while bad can be good if you compared to a worse one. Please keep this in your mind, while you are reading this site.

2. ScholarshipThere is a quite good scholarship now. Previously medical schools were out of scope but they changed their policy and now medical schools are also covered. It is based on bilateral country agreement, which means whether you are eligible or not depends on where you are from. Sorry if your country is not mutual enough. Anyway, Don't miss it out! Just check it out anyway!

   Note: As of February 2018, Semmelweis University does not join the program, therefore you can NOT obtain this generous scholarship if you prefer this school.

Not only one place, but rather depends on your preferences and you can go to many places if you want, if the host hospital is accredited by Semmelweis Univeristy.
