What Middle Eastern Students Say
Hear from Middle Eastern students already studying in Georgia.
“EduGeo made everything so simple. From choosing the right university to getting my visa approved, the team was professional, fast, and always available. Georgia was the best academic decision I've made and I'd make it again without hesitation.”
Sara Al-Mansouri
Law
“Moving from Cairo to Tbilisi was a big step but EduGeo made it feel manageable. They handled everything — documents, visa, pre-arrival checklist — and I arrived feeling prepared rather than anxious. I feel at home here now.”
Omar Hassan
Medicine
“Very professional team and the process was handled efficiently. My only suggestion would be to include more information about the credit transfer process for students who may want to continue studies elsewhere later. Overall a very positive experience.”
Ahmed Al-Rashid
Business
“Happy with the overall service and the university itself is great. I'd appreciate it if EduGeo offered more regular updates during the document processing stage — I had to chase for status information a couple of times. A simple automated update would fix this easily.”
Fatima Al-Zaabi
Pharmacy
“I appreciated the total honesty about the challenges of studying abroad — not just the positives. EduGeo told me about the adjustments I'd need to make culturally and academically. That realistic preparation meant no surprises when I arrived.”
Abdullah Al-Qasimi
Business
“The Egyptian student community in Tbilisi is surprisingly large and welcoming. EduGeo connected me with a senior student from Alexandria before I even landed and I arrived with a ready-made support network. That social preparation made a huge difference.”
