University?
July 25, 2015 at 1:02 pm
So I just passed my final exams and need to look for universities to go to... I was wondering if anyone could give some piece of advice or tell me how to better look for them?

Additional info: I'm not very rich, in other words, my family can't exactly pay for my university, even though they might be able to help me somehow but I'm not sure I want that...

 I'm practically a citizen of the EU, having a Romanian passport and all. 

The plan is to go and work for a year so I can get myself through college, and, if I'm going to some place like Germany or Austria, to also learn the language at the same time. 

Of course, plan B would always be to stay home and go to a local University but being how my country is the poorest in all of Europe you might imagine that the higher education system is not exactly among the best or even in good shape.

So could you offer any advice at all in this general direction? Even non-specific life tips for a youngster like myself would suffice, if nothing else. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Look at the international ranking. Some poor countries may surprise you.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

It's my understanding that Moldova has some very good schools.  Have I been misinformed?

You have definitely been misinformed, I think. Might sharing the source on that piece of info? Thanks.

Moldova is basically a shithole. You won't find 'some very good' of anything here.


Why do I get the feeling some might be reluctant to provide me with the kind of advice/info I'm really looking for, though, and only they might hold, in comparison to me?
Oh well, what did I expect.

That's not what I meant, and I think you know.

My mistake. I must've misunderstood what you meant by your one word.

We might be better able to advise you if we knew what you are interested in studying.  For example, if you plan to become an engineer, it wouldn't be much help for me to suggest a rabbinical school.
