Coming to Romania would make it really cheap for you. Accommodations, food, tuition fees, going out’s- even if we include all that, you are not going to need more than 400-700 euro per month. Can you believe it? You may not completely realize it, but you should know that 400-700 Euros per month is rather a small sum which you would have to pay for studying abroad.
Of course,  small and large sum is quite subjective, depending on the standards which you are used to. Anyway, it could be claimed for sure that the schools teaching medicine in Romania will offer a great proficiency of the subject at very reasonable prices.
