Is there any other advice that you could give to future students who are going to Szeged?

New dean is very open to improving the university, and there are lots to be improved on. But compared to any UK university it's at an acceptable level. You won't be disadvantaged from studying here. Be prepared for an anatomy storm though, lots of materials covered in first semester.
