Hello! I have missed this site so much! I am starting this discussion because I am in big trouble. I have entered in my last high school year and it's the time to draw the line: the college... The final exams are approaching quite fast and I haven't decided at which college should I go. But as I am studying almost 8 to 10 hours per day , free time for Internet browsing is a rarity. I was thinking of furthering my studies in psychology but this domain is very underdeveloped here in Romania. So what are my choices? Abroad colleges ,of course. I was think of Canterbury Christ Church collage because it's almost free and I can enter with my humble Grade C CAE ; but it is ranked in the UK like the 68th in Psychology and I fear that I will not be able to profit from their courses afterwards, as opposed to Surrey which is ranked the 7th and the taxes are way way too far out of my reach. Also most of my teachers are puzzled. I am currently following a Humanist profile [ History , Psychology, English, French , Romanian , Literature...etc etc] and they have literally unable to assist me with this problem. So where can I find some useful information for my problem? Where can I find some really good colleges that offer international scholarships worldwide ? English speaking countries , or the courses at least... Are there any websites that support international students with information that I could check out? Any piece of information , no matter how small and valueless it may seem to you could help me to clear some doubts. Sorry for giving you guys a headache but, my God... I am Desperate!

well, good luck my friend.. I have ever experienced same think when I need to stop my rock band and focus to find good college..I finally found one but I wondering if I continue my dream as musician I will becomes better guy today... Back to your problem, I think you can check on their website about all information you need..My friend got international scholarship at UK, she's study in norwich if I am not mistaken..However most of my friend continue study at Netherland..ups, they are all on engineering program..but I think there will be History,Literature or any program you had mentioned at Netherlands as well..

On the site of the Romanian Minister of Education [what a joke] there are some programs posted but in Greece and other stuff. Still I have to check and recheck everything and see if they are suited for my needs. I really envy your friends that study engineering. My dad suggested to follow his steps in oil engineering but my studies are completely irrelevant and the upcoming summer is just too short to restudy things like Science , Math and Chemistry which have been missing for my studies for too long due to my current profile. I keep on browsing... but I do appreciate your support!

Same here. However I am trying to look for any available scholarships that will provide any financial support. Still Cantenbury seems my only choice at the moment.
