Hiruni Speaks About IMC & Grodno State Medical University in Belarus 1st Year IMC Student at Grodno State Medical University
Hiruni Dasanayake
“I’m Hiruni Dasanayake, currently a first-year student at Grodno State Medical University, Belarus. I studied in Good Shepherd Convent, Colombo 13 and completed my Advanced Levels in De Mazenod College, Kandana. Talking about Grodno State Medical University (GRSMU), first I must say that I am truly glad that I chose this university as the place where I pave the way to follow my passion of becoming a medical doctor. Situated in beautiful and peaceful (trust me, as a med student you need peaceful) Grodno region of Republic of Belarus, this university together with all its staff and facilities provides the best environment for a perfect education. The panel of professors and lecturers along with the teaching techniques used creates an education system that gives the best to its students and helps the students to be the best of themselves.
IMC is what helped me to take the first step to enter the path that leads me to my dream. Starting from the university application, preparing the necessary documents, handling the visa, preparatory classes to guide us on how to face the entrance exam and on what to expect once we get here, departure, to arranging accommodation facilities, IMC helped me and my friends to comfortably settle down in Belarus and begin our university life. They provided their promised services smoothly and the staff was always one call away. From the moment we landed in Belarus, we were guided by the IMC staff and I should especially mention Ms. Marina and Dr. Slava Pevavaravov who not only helped us settle down in the beginning but who continuously checks upon us and does their best to make us feel comfortable and happy. Whenever someone gets sick, just
One call to Ms. Marina is enough for her to rush to our doorstep. Caring and loving, Ms. Marina does her best to make us feel home and we all are grateful for her. I’ll wrap this up by saying, I don’t regret at all, the decision I made, choosing GRSMU as my university and IMC as my agent and I wish you may make the best decision too. Cheers!”
