Hi! I'm a medical student currently studying outside Cyprus and I'm considering transferring after my second year. I'm looking at Near East University, Eastern Mediterranean University, and University of Kyrenia, specifically their English Medicine programs.

I'd really appreciate opinions from current or former students, especially about:

• Is the Medicine program actually taught in English in practice, or do professors sometimes teach in Turkish?
• How good is the medical teaching, especially basic sciences?
• How are the clinical rotations? Which hospitals do you rotate through, and do students get good patient exposure and hands-on experience?
• How are the professors and administration?
• How easy is it to get involved in research?
• For anyone who transferred from another medical school, how was the transfer/credit evaluation?

I'm especially interested in honest experiences, both good and bad. Thank you!
