Amazing program

Hi, my name is Shivani Setti, I am from Calgari, Alberta, which is in Canada and the University of Calgari. The reason why I chose this program is because the opportunity of working in this hospital, the experience that I got to seek in this hospital and physically get to view the operations, being able to talk to some of the patients here and also the experience of how other hospitals work in other cities and countries.

I think that the program was really nice. How friendly everyone was and how it was really easy to communicate with others even despite the language barrier. I liked it how easy it was to use the trains here and how accessible everything is, like, in one block there are like coffee shops. It’s really nice. Even the apartment that we got to stay was really nice and convenient. It was really close to the hospital. I just had to take the train and come here. It was really nice.

The city of Athens was also very beautiful. It’s a shame I came here during the winter time but for where I come from this is really warm. I didn’t even have to wear winter jackets, which was really nice. The city has a lot of history and diversity which I really enjoyed and I felt comfortable and I enjoyed my stay here.

Concerning the program that I was part of, I really enjoyed it, I would definitely come back if I had the time. When I have time to come back, I would come to Athens through this program and gain more experience working in this hospital.
