a bit hottier isn't it it is isn't it hi my name is omar i'm from bolton
and i'm in the third year of dental medicine in romania
the reason i chose dentistry is when i got my braces fitted i needed some teeth extracting
and my dentist extracted them and there was so much bleeding like i couldn't even explain and
then i went home there was bleeding on my pillow everywhere like i went to sleep i could sleep
off wake up it'd be fine obviously not so then i rang up the doctor and i had to go to the hospital
with some dentist that was working in maxwell facial apartment and the guy didn't even know
me and the speed at which he could identify the problem do all the stuff put sutures in
and make me feel okay and ask all the questions to make sure i'm feeling fine and all this stuff
the speed at which you did it and the speed at which i felt okay after that and sold
out a problem absolutely fascinated me and from that point on i just thought dentistry is for me
so i didn't quite get the grades in england in england the requirements to do dentistry
at any university is aaa after your a levels and i just missed out getting aab and i thought
my life's over what we're gonna do but then luckily my dad had a friend
who was a university lecturer in iash in romania another city
and he said yeah it's possible for your son to do dentistry in this country so i looked into it and
before i knew it i bought the flight and i was here doing the entrance exam i mean i was like
i still want to do dentistry i want to give up on my dream just because
i didn't get the grades i'm not going to let that stop me so i just thought yeah i'll go wherever
like i didn't really have much time to process the whole thing before i knew i was already here
but like i wouldn't change it for the world honestly
it's quite easy to get a place at the university actually um i'd say i mean there's people from
england that have got lower grades much lower grades than me and still still in my class sitting
next to me going to all my labs and lectures so if your grades aren't too high i wouldn't worry about
that you've just got a citizens exam that's about you can choose biology chemistry or physics it's
all a level stuff but i'd definitely still study for the entrance exam because i'm making out like
it's a walk in the park still putting the work you know i mean put in the work and reap the rewards
i love romania it's such a beautiful country i love the city life i love going to brashov
which is just outside the city one thing i really love about romania is the fact that
in the winter it gets extremely cold like if you're coming from england
some temperatures you've never even heard of absolutely baltic but then in the summer
it's like it's like you're going to dubai or something it's crazy the weather gets upside
35 degrees so you've got the beach in the summer in constanza and in winter you can go skiing if
that's what you like to do in brush over even if you don't like to do it you can go try it out you
know what i mean romania is extremely cheap like you can get a pint for about two pounds anywhere
you go transport ubers in manchester from bolton manchester probably cost you a hundred pound if
you travel the same distance in romania you're looking at about ten or seven on a good day
it defends yeah the nightlife's absolutely crazy before covid it was absolutely crazy
you're throwing yourself into a scenario which you're never in you know what i mean and
you're meeting loads of people from all the different places
english isn't their first language but they still speak english and you're just
immersed in so many different cultures and just i don't know how people can complain
so in my class there's 45 people it's the same in general medicine and there's people from all over
the world there's only i think three people four people from the uk all from different parts of the
uk too like like up north down south everywhere and then there's people from sweden france italy
lebanon iraq like anywhere in the world you just turn the globe around throw a dart and i'm sure
someone's from there in our uni like the diversity is absolutely crazy and that's one of the things
that i love about coming to uni in romania yeah one thing i'm looking forward to doing in the
next couple of years is traveling around the rest of the country and seeing places i've never seen
before i'm traveling to the surrounding countries too because flights are so cheap from romania to
denmark sweden bulgaria dubai even like anywhere you can go well specifically for me
one thing i want to specialize in in the future is orthodontics so when i start studying that stuff
i'll be in my zone you know i mean i'm not doing it right now but i just can't wait for the future
when we start doing it and i will just love it you know um definitely coming to romania took me
out my comfort zone like you go from a place where you've got friends you've got your family at home
and then you just go to a completely different place and you just start a new life one thing
that i've definitely learned about myself is that i'm extremely independent and i can go live on my
own in another country where they don't speak my language and i've been here for three years now
and i've enjoyed every second of it so if you think you can't do dentistry because you don't
think you're intelligent enough or you've not got the grades or whatever the reason might be
just don't give up because there's always a plan b my plan a i didn't have a plan b was to go to a
university in england and do it the traditional way but now i'm here and this is a new plan b
and i just don't regret it and you should definitely do the same if it's something you
really want to do in life just do it no regrets so this is my student profile thanks for watching
