Introduction for Parents
As a parent, deciding to send your child abroad for MBBS is one of the most important decisions you'll make. This guide addresses common concerns, provides practical advice, and helps you understand what to expect throughout the journey.
Is MBBS Abroad Safe for My Child?
Safety is the top concern for most parents. Here's what you should know:
- Bangladesh: Cultural similarity to India, similar food, language overlap (Bengali-speaking regions), and a large Indian student community make it a comfortable choice
- Georgia: One of the safest countries in Europe with extremely low crime rates. International students report feeling safe and welcomed
- Most universities provide on-campus or university-managed hostels with security
- Medientry provides a local guardian in both countries for 24/7 support
