Hi guys,

I am a South African, living in the UK, thinking about studying at Oradea University for a Medical degree. I am trying to get as much information on Oradea as possible.

What is the average rent for an apartment, fully furnished and heated for someone living on their own?
How much should be budgeted for food and services per month?
What is the University like? Has it got a good reputation?
Is it easy for foreigners to get by in Oradea? English freely spoken?
IS their any hidden charges/pitfalls I should look out for?
Is it fairly safe for a woman living by herself?
Any areas that should be avoided?
Does anyone know anything about the medical degree?
What do you think would the effect be on the cost of living/ education fees when Romania join the EU?
Cheapest flights from the UK?

If I move to Oradea it would be for 6 years, so any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated as this would be a life changing decision for me.

Thank you

hi i am from greece and i have 2 questions to ask:
1) is oradea regularly connected by train with budapest and if the answer is yes,how often has trains?
2)about the real estate in romania,does anyone know if foreigners have the right to own real estate properties in romania? In most east european countries is still forbidden so i wonder if the same applies in romaina too.
(second question has not to do with oradea only it has to do with the whole country)

I'm planning on spending 3 months in Oradea this summer and am wondering if anyone could help me out with how much money I should plan on having available.

How hard is it to go about getting an apartment for only 3 months?

Any help would be great...thanks!

I go to a court house and apply there right?
About how much will it cost and how long will it take?
I have to leave by March 15 so if I apply now would I get my passport within 45 days? Also I'm not buying my ticket until I have my passport. Will the ticket be higher if I buy it only a few days before the flight? Thanks a lot. :)

I'm going to stay with this girl at her parents house. I meet her online almost 2 years ago on Yahoo Messenger. I have also become friends with her brother. I'm leaving sometime this March. Going to stay 2-3 weeks. I'm American and I'm flying to Budapest because its $100 cheaper than flying straight to Romania. Then I'm taking a bus to Transylvaina. A round trip ticket only costs $627 and I have about $800 dollars. Ok finally my questions. :) Should $800 be enough for this trip since I'm staying with a Romanian family instead of a hotel and she said they will take care of everything like food etc. all I have to worry about is the travel. I think I read somewhere that you have to have $100 for everyday you plan on staying in Romania to show to them or they won't let you stay there or something. So will I have to have $1400 for staying 2 weeks or $2100 for 3 weeks. I have read the reason they do that is to make sure you will have enough money to afford hotels food and travel expenses. Also what do you guys think about the whole ideal? Thanks a lot.
