Honest cautions about Tashkent Medical Academy.
- Tashkent living cost is higher than Samarkand or smaller cities — budget ₹9-12K/month vs ₹6-8K in Samarkand.
- Larger cohort means more competitive for on-campus hostel spots — some students take PGs from year 1.
- Winter cold (-5 to 5°C) — Tashkent central heating is reliable, but budget for warm clothing.
- Higher-visibility university = higher expectations from students; academic rigour is real, not just tuition-and-degree.
