“One of my best decisions in my life.”
Blanca G
Belgium, Graduate
Public Health, 2023
OverallI made the decision to start the advanced master of science in Global Health thanks to the fact that I found it in one of the best universities in the world. I moved from Mexico to Belgium for this dream and my experience has been wonderful.
The University of Gent has offered me a wide and deep knowledge about my area of interest in Global Health, I have had the opportunity to work on health policies and projects.

There is a lot that kind of places. on monday most of students go to Pinuts, on Wednesday Porter House. during all week if you want have party you must just go on Overportstraat :) When the weather is nice and spring is coming all of students go on Graslei :)Ooo Gent is a city which you can discovere each day sth new:)I think everyone can find own places, pubs, cafe/chocotale places. It is amazing city and i miss everything in Gent.That city stole my heart.

Here i could communicate at ease with my fellow student colleagues and teachers. It is an environment where every body communicates very freely with friends but become very closed when they meet unfamiliar persons.
