  • "Universidade Católica Timorenese has been a unique experience so far. Coming from India, the cultural transition took a bit of getting used to, but the faculty here is very supportive. The small class sizes mean more personalized attention, which is great for practical sessions. The campus facilities are still growing, so there's room for improvement, but overall, I'm enjoying my first year!"

  • "My first year here has been a mixed bag. The academic curriculum is rigorous and similar to Indian medical colleges, which I appreciate. However, language barriers can sometimes be challenging, especially outside of classes. The environment is peaceful, but there’s not much to do after classes, so you really need to focus on self-study. Overall, I’m hopeful for the years to come."

  • "I was initially nervous about moving to East Timor for my medical studies, but Universidade Católica Timorenese has been a pleasant surprise. The professors are knowledgeable and approachable, and I feel like I’m learning a lot. The medical labs are well-equipped, and there's a good focus on clinical practice. I miss Indian food, but I’ve adapted to the local cuisine. It’s a calm place to study!"

  • "My experience so far has been good academically, but there are challenges. The medical school is still developing, and while the education is solid, some resources like research opportunities and extracurriculars are limited compared to Indian institutions. I do like the close-knit community of students and faculty, which helps with adjustment."
