What experiences make you a great ambassador?
I believe my time here has also taught me a lot, and since I was guided through this journey by other Israeli seniors, it is only natural I would like to return the favor to applicants and freshmen to ease their way into med school!
What advice would you give to new students?
There are endless resources and approaches on how to study! Make sure to explore them without getting lost until you find whatever works for you best! I encourage you to consult with your seniors until you find someone who has a similar approach to yours to get that figured out faster.
Don't forget to make some time for yourself so you don't get exhausted too soon, med school is a long period of time and you can't live all of it in the same intensity as you would in an exam period.
What do you love most about Brno?
It is really hard to say, but I love the variety of options for how to spend your time here.
Cheap and diverse restaurants are everywhere, great cafes and bars, and of course the HANGAR if you like bouldering.
There are also great natural spots around South Moravia that are worth checking out especially on hot summer days.
The proximity to other main cities such as Prague, Vienna, Krakow and Budapest is great in case you want to spend a weekend somewhere else.
