This is a picture of the last standing part of the Teutonic Knights castle in Toruń. I took my friend, Beatriz from Brazil, and her friend who is also on Exchange, but in Germany, for a tour around Toruń. I don't know how I know so much about the history of this city, I surprised myself actually, I even knew a legend about how the teutonic knights killed people by throwing them down a hole in the tower you see in the picture (which was also the bathroom by the way). Hm, jeez, I never thought I was
I'm having a very hard time deciding where I want to study for university. In fact, now i'm having a hard time deciding what i want to study, let alone in which country. I know that I really want to study outside the United States, but whether that's Poland or London or even Paris (but I don't think so).
I'll tell you about Poland and London in a bit more detail:
Uniwersytet Warszawski (Universtiy of Warsaw)
-best university in Poland
-only 4,000 euro a year
-cheap student dorms
-very high, world recognized education
-very nice location (old city of Warsaw)
-beautiful city
-250,000 students
-Psychology Masters Program in English
Minus point
-Polish is extremely hard, studying in Polish would be very hard.
Richmond University
The American International University in London
-A semi-American University experience, yet still in a European atmosphere.-Perfect middle of what i've been deciding on
-Great School, people have graduated to work for UNICEF or the UN, which is the type of job I would like.
-An international student body from over 120 countries
-In the heart of London
-All the majors are in English
-Beautiful Campus, easy access to public transportation
-I could still practice my Polish
-I can work anywhere as an International Student (the pound is higher than the Dollar)
Minus point:
-14,000 pounds a year + 7,500 pounds for room and board.
So if anyone has any advice or suggestions, I would love to hear them.
