Study In Georgia
Why Georgia
Georgia is one of the best countries to study. Georgia is equipped with standard Universities that are recognized Worldwide. The Educational standard in Georgia is as high as studying in the United States, Canada, UK or other European countries.
Located in the Caucasus, where Europe meets the Middle East, Georgia is a small country that’s rich in history and culture and is the home of Georgian, one of the world’s more interesting languages. Bordered by Russia to the north and east, Azerbaijan to the south-east, Armenia to the south, Turkey to the south-west and the Black Sea to the west, Georgia is an ex-Soviet republic that is fast becoming a major tourist destination. This isn’t only because of the old cities, rolling landscapes and plentiful wine, but also because Georgia is an extremely affordable country. It’s also a country with good schools and great international connections.
Although Georgia is small, there’s a lot to see. The capital, Tbilisi, is the seat of the country – and it is here that any time spent in Georgia will begin. Gori, the second city, is home to a calmer, slower-paced way of life. Almost half of Georgia’s 3.7million inhabitants live in these two cities. Even though a lot of Georgians live in Tbilisi and Gori, there are still towns, villages and farming communities dotted about the country. While Georgia is a safe country, it does have two breakaway regions: Abkhazia and South Ossetia. You shouldn’t venture to them. But with so much to see in the rest of the country, Abkahzia and South Ossetia don’t matter too much.
