Hostel accommodations are available, and the cost of living in Batumi is relatively affordable.

BAUIB is building its medical faculty with experienced professors and researchers from diverse medical backgrounds, including international experts. Research opportunities are being developed, enhancing the learning experience. Batumi, a coastal city in Georgia with over 160,000 residents, offers a blend of modern tourism and academic environment. The city has a subtropical climate, making it appealing for international students.
