For those who haven’t yet considered the country as a destination for their studies, here are 5 reasons to add it to your list:

Strong Academic Programs and Universities

With over 60 state-recognized institutions, as well as a range of private universities and colleges, Georgia has much to offer the adventurous students who choose the unique destination. Like most other countries, degrees are separated into Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD.

Prospective students can choose from a great variety of areas of study, such as business administration, travel and tourism, marketing and public relations, computer science, or social science.

...Especially in Medicine

Chief among popular and prestigious fields to study in Georgia is that of medicine. Specialized universities of medicine offer unique, top-notch opportunities to both local and foreign students, alike. Courses in medicine range from a variety of subjects and are taught primarily in English or Russian.

Hospitable Culture

New visitors - whether business people, travelers, or students - are warmly welcomed to the country by local Georgians. The famous saying “A guest is a gift from God” is tightly adhered to in this highly religious culture.

Plying visitors with local food and drink, introducing them to the amazing experiences the country has to offer, and even offering them a bed for the night, the Georgians take their hospitality very seriously. They want you to see what they love about their country, and they are not afraid to share it with you.

Futuristic Architecture

You probably would not imagine that Georgia is an epicenter for futuristic architecture feats. Well, prepare to be surprised by man-made beauty and design that will exceed your wildest expectations. Georgia is actually home to some of the most beautiful and impressive architectural feats of our time, which can be found in all regions of the country serving nearly every purpose. Even its parliamentary building, resembling a massive glass and concrete bubble, stands out among global governmental structures.

Unfortunately, while its architectural design is incredibly advanced, its infrastructure and roads have been left wanting. Out-of-date roads connect the leading architectural feats, highlighting the President’s focus on impressing foreign dignitaries with flashy buildings rather than on impacting local citizens with functioning methods transportation.

Natural Beauty

Beyond architectural beauty, the country, itself, is full of natural and stunning scenery, sites, and landscapes. Home to a surprising number of landscapes, animals, and adventures, the country entices explorers from across the globe. Students, of course, are often among them.

One of the most impressive landscapes of the country is its colossal mountain ranges. Many assume the Alps are the highest mountain range in Europe. However, they are mistaken. The Caucasus Mountains mark the border between Georgia and Russia and are home to the tallest peaks in Europe. While the highest is in Russia, Georgia lays claim to the second highest, Shkara, which at 5,193m (17,040 ft) beats Mont Blanc by nearly 400m (1,312 ft).
