STUDENTS REVIEW ABOUT AMU

ROSHNA

Azerbaijan Medical University

In terms of education, the University, in its own rights, can be classified as one of the finest centres for Medical Studies. The system caters to every educational requirement of its students, be it in terms of well-established tutors or technological reinforcement. AMU is inevitably one among its kind that offers cadavers and associated models to aid its students in becoming skilled practitioners. However, on the not so bright side, the examination pattern followed could be, sometimes if not always, discerned as one that may not act to the advantage of every candidate.

The institution conducts its main series of examinations as a set of Multiple Choice Questions which cannot be deemed infallible in assessing the competence or theoretical understanding of a medical student.

Weighing the pros and cons, as a student who has begun her journey of fulfilling her medical dreams with AMU, I would confidently and most sincerely recommend this university to any medical aspirant who wish to pursue Medicine at an affordable fee but without having to compromise on the quality of education rendered.

Hostel Facility

The hostel runs as a co-ed system whereby students of either gender reside in one building, oftentimes separated by floors. The style, especially to an Indian born, may initially prove to be apprehensive, but the residents, to date, are known to be respectful of one another's privacy.

Each dorm room accommodates three inmates.

Occupants are expected to do self-cooking, or rely on nearby catering services.

Wifi connection is offered 24/7 which proves beneficial not only toones recreational, but most importantly, educational requirements.

Pointing out the cons, the unavailability of a water dispenser at the hostel facility could be quite an issue. Overall, the hostel offers an ambiance of comfort and safety: ensuring a good study environment for its students.

The country Azerbaijan is a very picturesque country whose beauty cannot be penned down.

VARUN KRISHNA

Azerbaijan Medical University has a student friendly campus which provides Us Education in best way as possible.

The City of Baku is a very beautiful city to stay with peaceful atmosphere. Eventhough the city is little bit expensive the quality of goods available here are worth for the money we spent. Overall Azerbaijan is a friendly and beautiful place to study understand and live.
