The university was established in 1784, making the university more than 230 years old! The university has limited seats but a very high demand by Indian students. Lviv National Medical University generally being the 1st university in Ukraine to fill up every year.
Every year during the winter holidays, students from all over Ukraine go to visit, What makes the university so good is that the faculty is old and experienced and the university is extremely strict. The FMGE result has been consistently good over the years. Another big advantage of Lviv National Medical University is that during the first 3 years, the hostels and all the various medical faculties are at one place or campus. Only hostel-7 is far from the campus.
The one disadvantage is that you don’t have a proper established Indian mess. It doesn’t mean that Indian food is not available, You will get Indian food at Lviv. It will be delivered to you in case you take up that option. Apart from that, the only other problem is that being a tourist city, living expenses are on the high end.
