Thank you so much for these videos! They're very helpful ☺️ I just wanted to ask about the age demographics of the students? Is it mostly 18/19 year olds or are there 20+ year olds too? Thank you so much! ☺️

[@AcadIMAT]

I'm glad you've been finding the videos helpful :) Almost all students I've talked to have said that there class is quite diverse both in nationalities and in age groups. For example in my class there are so many people in their mid to late 20s; especially because so many students are coming from different degrees or military service before hand. I'm actually 27, and Rosh and Sweta (the other 2 students we run the website with but don't appear in the videos) are both older than me and in 6th year.

[@melikafrj7805]

Appreciate your team work guys👏👏 can you please make an interview with pavia students??

[@AcadIMAT]

We're actually having problems finding an honest Pavia student, we've reached out to around 10 students and all are too angry about their university to do an interview :)

[@bhavanikitchen1021]

@@AcadIMAT what do you mean by they're too angry?

[@tungalasuresh6248]

@AcadIMAT nice interview. Could you also consider interviewing medical student from the University of Bologna? Please

[@AcadIMAT]

We completed one, but the footage is a little broken, will upload this weekend

[@PhoeniX-le1xb]

Hey serra can you please make a video how to transfer from one uni to other all the requirements and pros and cons

[@AcadIMAT]

Hey we can make a video eventually, but for now here's an article we wrote about it www.acadimat.com/transferring-to-another-medical-school-in-italy/

[@mohitagrawal1993]

Please make a video on the accommodation in sapienza and is there any way to get free accommodation?

[@AcadIMAT]

I can plan this video for June no problem :)

[@marialena9315]

Is it common for students to want to do residency in the states(thereby studying for the usmle)also which year do they start studying for it?

[@AcadIMAT]

I wouldn't say it's common but they do, it mostly depends on how the uni has their course structured we're going to have a lot more detailed interview and article coming on this, but it's generally 3rd year if I remember correctly.

[@xilee4507]

Hi may I ask where normally do most students live ? Since the teaching facilities at San Luigi Gonzaga University Hospital. I checked on google map, it’s like an hour from the city.

[@AcadIMAT]

I believe most students just travel everyday
