I'm now over half way through my second semester at vet school and I can't believe how fast it has gone! It still feels like I just got back after Christmas. The work load has been similar to last semester but I think I might be getting better at coping with it because it hasn't seemed as intense as last semester.
We still have a lot of credit tests. Last week I had three which was pretty hectic, but they all went fine in the end. We have started some new modules about bees, fish, hygiene and nutrition as well as carrying on with some we started last semester like histology, physiology and anatomy. In anatomy we're now on to the organs which I am enjoying a lot more than muscles. It's really interesting and also a little bit easier which helps! The new modules are quite interesting, I'm getting quite into learning about bees, haha. The Bees lecturer is very enthusiastic which is kind of infectious. Plus I do like honey!
Kosice is lovely at the moment. It has been about 15C every day and very sunny. It isn't usually so warm at this time of year, the winter has been unusually mild. I'm definitely not complaining though!
I have received a few messages from people applying to start here at Kosice in September which are always welcome! If you comment me with your email address/other contact info I'm always happy to answer any questions you have about the course and the city. I remember when I was applying this time last year and how difficult it can be to find information. One resource that I found very helpful was the Kosice thread on the student room forum. It's very long now but you can use the search bar to search for keywords. I actually read the whole thing from start to finish, but that can be very time consuming!
I look forward to hearing from any new applicants :)
Next update will probably be around the Easter break because I should get a bit of free
time.
Bye for now!

Hi. Ive been accepted for the 4year BSc program in Kosice starting this year!! Very excited, and I would love to see some more pictures of your dorm! Like a dorm tour would be amazing! :) Im trying to write a packing list so it would be very helpful to see what the rooms are like/how big they are.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) x
Congratulations on being accepted! :) I'm currently writing an entry all about the dorms that should be up in the next couple of days (probably after anatomy credit on Wednesday!).
DeleteYou really don't need to bring much with you as everything can be bought out here fairly cheap. Pretty much all I brought with me was a suitcase full of clothes. The rooms are a good size because they're meant for 2 students sharing; the Slovak students all share.
If you have any more specific queries let me know and I'll work it into the next blog post :)
