hi im an incoming med student who got accepted into UoG, im indian asw but recently ive been seeing this news about UG being blacklisted by the government, so it's harder to get a student visa. is that true? if so should i look into applying into other universities? which would you recommend? (no tsmu as ive heard about the grading system)
Hey everyone!
I am a student, and I noticed a lot of students in Tbilisi are looking for quick, flexible ways to make extra money, while others often need a hand with small everyday tasks-like picking up a delivery, moving a few boxes, getting biochem tutoring, finding a study buddy, a plus one or fixing a quick tech issue.
To bridge the gap, I built a lightweight Telegram bot + community group called Solvd.
How it works:
Need Help? Launch the bot, select a category, set your budget (in GEL), and it formats and posts your request to the main group automatically.
Want to Earn? Browse active posts in the group and message task owners directly to help out and earn cash or quick transfers.
It's completely free to use, pure peer-to-peer, and keeps communication direct and simple.
If you want to give it a try or need something done around town:

Feedback, ideas, or suggestions are super welcome! Let me know what you think.
Hello everyone.
I’m currently a student in TSMU & I feel as though there’s no diversity in the university. However, I’ve heard that Ilia State University has a lot of diversity. Can someone guide me on this? If it’s a good decision? I don’t have best friends in TSMU, if that helps.
Thank you.
Heyy
I’m currently in 4th year and looking for someone who’s also preparing for FMGE so we can study together, keep each other accountable, discuss topics, and stay motivated.
Preferably someone who’s serious about studying and wants to have a consistent study routine. DM me if interested!
Yall my frnd tryna come with me to this uni and she in India tryin from a diff agency and like they send the application a month ago till now no updates shld she be concerned and try another agency or is this normal????
Does anyone know how much is required to have in your bank balance for the TRC application? I have around 6-7 months to graduate for reference. Also not in Georgia right now so I can't go to PSH.
My name is Abdulaziz from Egypt and I want to study in Georgia. I'd like to know about students' experiences and whether a job covers living expenses and part of the university fees. Thank you.
Hi everyone! I’m a Jordanian student planning to study Medicine in Tbilisi this fall, and I’m currently choosing between Tbilisi State Medical University (TSMU) and European University.
I was initially leaning strongly toward TSMU because it’s a public medical university with a long history and a well-known name. However, after reading several posts from current and former students, I’ve become genuinely concerned about some things — especially the grading system, oral exams, chemistry and physics, repeating semesters, and how much the quality of the experience depends on the professor you get.
At the same time, European University is private, and I’ve seen people recommending private universities in Georgia over public ones. I don’t want to make such an important decision based only on agents, rankings, or a few angry Reddit posts, so I’d really like to hear directly from students who actually study there.
If you currently study at TSMU or European University, could you please answer any of these?
If you could choose again from the beginning, would you still choose your university?
How fair is the grading system in reality?
Is it true that failing one subject at TSMU can prevent you from progressing and force you to repeat a semester?
How common are oral exams, and do you feel they are graded fairly?
Are Chemistry and Physics at TSMU really as problematic as some students say?
How good are the professors at explaining in English?
Is the teaching mostly memorization and self-study, or do professors actually teach and explain well?
How good are the labs, practical classes, clinical skills training, and hospital exposure?
For international students, how supportive is the administration when there is a problem?
Between TSMU and European University, which would you personally recommend and why?
I’m not looking for people to blindly praise or hate either university. I’d really appreciate detailed, honest experiences — both positive and negative.
This decision matters a lot to me, so thank you to anyone who takes the time to help. 🤍
Hi everyone! I’m planning to study a Bachelor’s in Nursing in Georgia as an international student, and I’m trying to understand what happens after graduation if I want to work abroad.
From what I understand, international nursing graduates may not be able to take the Georgian nursing licensing exam because it is conducted in Georgian. I’ve also heard that graduates receive some kind of “license code” or registration/code along with their nursing degree, but I’m not really sure what this actually means or whether it is considered a nursing license.
For students who graduate from a Georgian nursing program and then want to work in another country (US, UK, Australia, UAE/Gulf, etc.):
What exactly is the “license code” that graduates receive?
Is it an actual professional nursing license/registration, or is it something different?
If you graduate without taking the Georgian licensing exam, can you still apply for nursing registration/licensure in other countries?
Do graduates usually work in Georgia first, return to their home country, or directly start the licensing/registration process for another country?
If you personally studied nursing in Georgia and then moved abroad, what was the process like for you?
Are there any countries that allow Georgian BSN graduates to obtain nursing registration without first holding a Georgian nursing license?
I applied to SEU with the help of an agency & after receiving my acceptance & everything was set, I was told to pay for a 500$ package made by the agency in order to secure a visa even though I can enter the country visa-free, and I had to pay a separate 300$ payment for insurance.
I just wanted to see if this is legit? Should I go along? They gave me the acceptance letter, and every important document so these are the last steps.
Please let me know!

Yesterday I saw that the status of trc was suspended due to removal of the address. Today I changed it to a new address and I have a flight tomorrow. Can I travel back and return within 2 months ?
Lubliana street 11. Saw a broccoli hair boy (not calling that POS a man on purpose) and 2 girls playing cards yesterday, speaking Arabic. Today I see these cards thrown all around the place. Total of 3 people, 0 civic sense. If you're reading this or know who did this - clean it up, otherwise don't be surprised that you're thrown out of the country like you threw these cards.
Hi guys, does anyone know of a shop or someone who does UPI → BOG transfers? I can send the money through UPI, and they can transfer the equivalent amount to my BOG account. Thanks!

Before we begin, important note -
This is not the place to have ego or respect or even rights and fairness. Take all that shit, lock it in a box and throw it away, it’s survival time.
Section 1 - Appearance
IMPORTANT!!!!
If you have dark skin or even tanned skin, you will be treated worse.
If you visibly dress differently, eg pant shirt instead of jeans/cargo pants and tshirt, you’ll will be treated worse
If you are wearing a hijab or burqah or sarii or traditional clothing, you will be treated worse.
If you are a woman, you will be hit on, you will be seen as an easy target for anger or trolling.
If you are a short man, a skinny man, or obese, you will be treated worse.
TL;DR - Unless you’re a relatively fair skinned 6ft/175cm male who dresses in a modern “trendy” (white young adult clothing style), you will have a much worse time comparatively as you’ll stand out worse.
Section 2 - Interaction Reduction
Key is reduction of interactions and moments with high interaction potential.
Don’t stand in the way, don’t block the way, basically don’t give them a reason to have to interact with you.
Never ever make physical contact with a local, doesn’t matter how crowded the bus or metro is, become liquid like a cat if you have to.
Unless you’re speak georgian, stfu. No it’s not fine cause it’s auto/google translate, they will still hate you. Self checkout at hypermarkets like carrefour/goodwill is your saviour here. At spar/ori nabiji, the only words that should be coming out of you is “tbc”, “sarkartvelo banki (BOG)” and “erthi (1)/ori (2)/sami (3) pakethi gtkhov (packet please)”. That’s it.
In a taxi, the only words that should be said are “gamarjobat” (formal hello), “gacherdit akht, gtkhov” (stop here, please), and if you wanna be extra polite maybe a “madloba, nakhuamdes” (thank you, goodbye). No trynna use google translate to correct mistakes, they will get annoyed and angry and you WILL have a bad time. Doesn’t matter if you put batumi instead digomi, you will stfu and go. Book at easy location where the driver can reach with his eyes closed, mark clearly and properly. Don’t make them wait.
Same thing for food delivery, keep the pin clear and easy to reach, have clear instructions in both georgian and english. Delivery folk are already a bit on edge from the work, don’t give them reasons to take it out on you.
For the love of god, assuming you’re a man, don’t even glance or peek at a local woman (or any woman in general, basic manners obv, but for some of you it has to be said) unless you wanna get jumped by a pack.
Keep your voices low, DO NOT DRAW ANY MORE ATTENTION TO YOUR SELF. Yelling on phone/with friends in a bus will do that. Same goes for using your phone’s speaker in public, don’t do that, srly.
STAY AWAY FROM TEENAGERS AT ALL COSTS.
Cross the street, get on the opposite side of the bus or metro or take another carriage, take the other lift, do whatever, just stay away from them, they are the most likely to fuck with you.
Keep headphones on, even of you ain’t listening to any music, can’t be heckled if they think you won’t even hear them. It actually works really well.
Light a cigarette, even if you don’t smoke. For some reason you’re less likely to get fucked with you’re walking around with a lit cig.
Hit the gym too, the more muscular you are, the less they’ll fuck with you.
Bonus Section - Eyes
Your eyes MUST say that you feel no fear, that you’re dead inside. Never show fear, they’ll smell it like sharks smell blood in the water. But don’t try to be macho or have an attitude either. Basically you need to have that soviet look of “I’m dead inside so don’t even bother fucking with me, you’ll get no reaction and feel no pleasure”.
Conclusions
Now obviously even with all of these tips, you’ll still face bs now and then, but it should be greatly reduced assuming you follow this guide or atleast get the spirit of it.
