I'm considering going to university in Eastern Europe. I've been looking into Slovakia, Slovenia Czech Republic, Croatia, Serbia, and Estonia.
Slovakia: Comenius University in Bratislava Slovenia: University of Ljubljana Czech Republic: Charles University in Prague Croatia: University of Zagreb Serbia: University of Belgrade Estonia: University of Tallinn, University of Tartu
No amount of statistics will beat the personal experiences of citizens of that country, so I'd like to hear your opinions on the job markets of your country, university/schooling in your country in general, and how life is in general there (cost of living, quality, etc.)
I'm well aware that I'll have to learn the language. That won't be a problem, especially since there is an incentive. Mother's side is German, so I have an inclination to Germanic language and Nordic language. However, Slavic languages are really interesting to me.
College here is Marxist cancer, and the cost is absolutely fucking crazy. Cost of living in my area is beyond inflated.
My plan is to just do community college here, and continue elsewhere in Europe.
Anons from other countries (Central Europe, Western Europe) opinions are appreciated as well. The main reason for me rejecting the central or western European option is because of both the migrant crisis, and cost of living in capital cities.
please stop memeing on my Central European brethren
Justin Nguyen
>you'll get raped Serbia: University of Belgrade
>could be worse Slovakia: Comenius University in Bratislava Estonia: University of Tallinn, University of Tartu Czech Republic: Charles University in Prague Slovenia: University of Ljubljana
>great beaches Croatia: University of Zagreb
Oliver Hernandez
glad you don't even consider ourselves
please spread the word not to come here, and Soros will hopefully close down that motherfucking muslimfeeder CEU
Ethan Phillips
Fuck off we are full
Adam Ward
dumb fuck there are no beaches in zagreb
Cooper Rogers
Totally dude. Just make sure you dont come to Spain: as the name of the country indicates, its pretty much another Mexico. Ukraine, Belarus... on the other hand are the epitome of quality of life and education :^)
Joshua Anderson
>Slovakia: Comenius University in Bratislava Bratislava/Slovakia is a backwards shithole don't go there mr burgere it's a very boring place, no idea about the rest
Wyatt Price
You could try here, unemployment is pretty low so getting a job isn't that hard and booze is cheap.
Jose Ramirez
It is boring but not shithole, Bratislava region is like top 5 of richest European regions, only duchy of luxembourg and similar shit is above it
Ryan Hill
Are you stupid?
Genuine question
Brandon Bennett
to stay on topic, i would not reccomend it here, Slovaks are notorious for not liking foreigners, doesnt matter rich and civilized, unis are fucking average not sure if they even have english classes and if they do it will most likely be garbage
Jayden White
What do you want to study? IT is probably the only field, where you can get by without speaking the language. Also University of Tallinn is a meme. University of Tartu and the Tallinn University of Technology are only non-meme unis in this country.
David Gray
I've been in Bratislava many timeas. It doesn't look that rich.
Noah Sullivan
but it is
Jason Reed
szerintem is a kurvaanyját Sorosnak meg a liberális külföldi fertőnek, de azért a CEU új épülete szép lett
Ryder Anderson
That's not saying much though. It's not a uniform comparison, so it's kinda meaningless. If you are comparing the average GDP of small highly concentrated industrial areas to larger, more spread out regions, it's obvious which ones will come out on top.
Joseph Torres
its per capita though, its pretty useless yea but not meaningless, im just saying that while yes, Bratislava is garbage, it is not backwards,pretty sure its also most expensive city in Eastern Europe if we exclude Moscow.
If Bratislava is backwards shithole idk what rest is then
Angel Bell
IT's similar story with Mazowsze (green region in Poland). If you exclude Warsow it's actually one of the poorer regions.
Aiden Butler
Yeah but Bratislava carries whole Slovakia, highest taxes and no €uroshekels. East is pretty much glorified Ukraine, north is just fucking mountains and south is magyar caliphate lazy coons
Hudson Wood
Dont come here, terrible place, high crime, drugs everywhere, hateful people, it stinks. Go to Serbia, its lovely place, friendly people everywhere.
Aaron Morgan
but it is backwards culturally. restaurants are shit, you dont have all damn delicious hipsters places, people are rude as fuck,hotel base suck, train/bus stations are from the 40s, people are rude, close minded and dressed poorly and it goes on and euro fucked you so well that everything is expensive now(i've been there pre euro a few times and pricces were pretty good). Bratislava is my no1 most disappointing city and no meme graphs will change that.
Austin Mitchell
>I'm well aware that I'll have to learn the language. >That won't be a problem
Monolanguals. Everytime.
Bentley Reed
Literally who cares about that crap.
>no hipster restaurants, people are close minded
Off to the gas chambers with you
Ayden Wood
What are you studying?
Here, you usually pick a college and focus towards one topic from the beginning.
If it's STEM, the colleges here are good, but don't come here hoping to get a job afterwards, unless you're in IT, the job market is completely blocked and undercutted by our "weird" student work system.
It's probably ok if you just plan to study here and move back to USA, the universities are much better than your community colleges (or so I've heard), but if you plan to continue living in the country after graduation, I'd recommend west europe because of the higher living standard.
Noah Mitchell
First of all, we are Central European Second of all, I doubt you will learn Slovene Third of all, fuck off we're full
Jace Garcia
>euro fucked you so well
t. economist, people can buy more now than they could before we adopted euro, our economy is getting better every year
> people are rude, close minded
welcome to Slovakia, its like this literally in whole country. There are bars and places to go but its fucking 400 000 pop city, its small and industrial, you are let down because you expected something out of nothing. And believe it or not, those meme graphs have actual worth as opposed to your anectodal evidence. If Bratislava is backwards poland is stone age
Julian Jackson
You're probably better off taking your slavboo classes in America.
Jonathan Sanders
Did you know Estonians can vote online now?
Daniel Perry
if you are asking seriously why ask here. these fuckers will just meme you. go to city-data or something.
Ryder Morales
fuck off, we're empty
Michael Sullivan
well I'm not going to argure with this autism, you should leave slovensko once in a while, really and other anons explained you why is this graph completly irrelevant but i guess you didnt understand
Asher Brooks
If i can stay in Slovakia for one month im happy. You dont understand at all, Bratislava is not tourist city, they dont give a fuck if tourists dont like it, there is Vienna 45 minutes away that is literally better and bigger/prettier Bratislava.
Bratislava is where €€€ is being made, if you want your dick sucked for being foreigner Praha is few hours away.
Jason Martinez
AND for actually living/studying its one of best in EE
Aaron Peterson
Thanks for the replies, even the meme ones. Sorry for being geographically autistic by the way.
I'm sort of looking at eastern Europe and moving toward the west, looking at the options.
Also, I'm not going to grab the degree and fuck off, I'd gladly contribute to the country, maybe even start a business.
Right-wing politcal parties in France and Germany could gain more traction since Trump's win, so I'll look at those soon.
Aiden Reyes
>maybe even start a business.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
well, good luck...
Noah Lopez
oh and if you're basing any of your choices on silly internet political ideologies, you're a dunce
Henry Gomez
everyone is running from eastern europe despite what memes here say
>eastern Europe and moving toward the west,
wont happen ever, maybe with few countries like Slovenia or Czech Republic
Also, I had absolutely no idea that the Czech Republic was this accepting of homosexuals, as opposed to Croatia and Slovakia.
My family is upper middle class, but in Los Angeles, that means middle-class struggling to go higher. There's likely cheaper places in the United States, but my parents refuse to move. Both have 8 years until retirement. They're both very cynical about countries other than the United States, so moving to one, or just studying in one is complete taboo, and will cause a huge argument. I say fuck em, let them get all pissy and be shocked when I come back (if I do) with a good degree and no student debt.
check this doccumentary on Slovakia if you would like it
Nolan Martin
desu Charles uni is for smart people you wont probably make it there t. knower
Eli Bailey
Whats your major? There may be more suitable unis for you. And if you wanna come here, drink and fuck, Charles uni is generally not the choice.
Colton Gomez
Are there entrance exams and grade requirements and such in universities in Czech Republic? Are there any where you just pay monies receive education? I'm fucking old and don't meet requirements for anything anymore, I just want a degree so I can fuck around in academia until I kill myself :(
Nicholas Mitchell
Welcome to ČZU. Entrance exams are pretty lax. You will have school 3 days per week.. 2 if you manage to fuck it all up in them.
Economics classes are full of dumb bitches that love cock. Russian bitches are present in hordes.
You can find yourself some nice part time job, bitch and still have tons of time to yourself and ace studies as well.
PS.: You wont have to pay a dime.
Brandon Rodriguez
fun fact: >Its the most modern uni thanks to recent government donations to modernize Czech state unis.
Julian Lee
Kek I'm a little above average student, with 100+ hours of community service with a local law enforcement exploring program, and was in AFJROTC during first 3 years of highschool. So since my academics are a bit above everage, I might be able to point at my community service hours. (Not really interested in law enforcement or the military, the only two things in my area besides aerospace with high layoffs.) I'm in the transition period of highschool to college. I haven't really nailed down what to do, but I've always been great at History, and I love biology. What's in demand in Europe and/or the Czech Republic?
Michael Hughes
lmao you think they will give a fuck about some community service
Nathan Rogers
>he's not smart enough to get grants after community college do he has to go to a mudhut shaman school in the ass of yurope
Jason Cooper
RIP, user. Are (((for-profit private colleges))) a thing in the Czech Republic? This sounds too good to be true.
David Barnes
mech. engi is top tier and guaranteed high paying job with prospects of working for German company = even more shekels
economics were on the boom during and post crisis.. now everyone studies them but I would say there is gonna be over saturated market with econ majors
Anything IT related is brdi gud No. They are a meme for dumb kids. State schools >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Private schools
Isaiah Smith
Not really, but it's better than nothing tbqh senpai. Here's the thing, I have some scholarships lined up and signed up for CalGrant. I'd likely go to a CSU or UC, and if I don't live on-campus, the local rent is too fucking high. I would rather die than have student loan debt. Parents refuse to pay anything past community college.
Blake Wood
tho with biology(&chemistry) you could try medicine and you will find yourself in 70% pussy collective same with any history or econ. major
STEM is complete opposite though
Thomas Morgan
First of the government is paying for my sisters liberal arts degree at a private school in it's entirety. So you are lazier than a future waitress and quite possibly dumber too.
Thomas James
Thanks senpai. I'll look into mechanical engineering. My only problem with IT is new tech coming out too fast to learn well. IT Manager positions sound a lot more enticing, with the right balance of being able to socialize and work with tech. We have the same problem in the US. History is fun and all, but it's low paying and useless. For example, archeology seems like a god-tier job (exercise and seeing your knowledge actually be worth something), but a starting position requires a masters degree, and is around $45,000 salary.
Jack Martinez
Second of all if you believe for one minute that the degree that you'll get from eastern Europe is worth the paper it's printed on you are extremely naive
Ian Wilson
ČVUT is top tier mech engi school here.. so its also filled with autists and chances of slaying uni pussy will be low its hard school tho t. flunked ČVUT production and economics of engi.
Thomas Richardson
Which one sounds better: UCSB major in literature, join the Slavic History club MGU Major in Slavic literature. (Obviously I'm not doing any of those, just an example.) I'm just weighing my options right now. I started looking at eastern Europe when this thread started. Now, with what in learning about, it seems like a not-so-good idea. Now I'm looking at central and western Europe.
Carter Davis
If you are going to Europe go to the u.k. Their degrees are worth it. Otherwise i would look into other options here. Especially outside of California
Justin Perez
engi from ČVUT is worth more than any of your meme unis in states
I have a friend in 2dn sem Ing. in aviation eng. and she already works for the biggest light rotor engine producing company in the world
Carson Nelson
I'm fine with not fucking like a rabbit in college if I have a chance at making good money in Europe. Better than going to a UC or CSU and going to class in debt and having to take a "Gender Studies" as a mandatory class.
Jaxson Martin
Keep believing that
Thomas Roberts
You can't make good money in Europe. You get punished for making money there.
Juan Carter
Škoda is gonna open up to American market in two years you and everyone you know is gonna drive a Superb you dumbo accept superiourity of Czech engineering
One concern with the UK is the refugee issue. Tbh I'd rather go to a college in the capital of an underrepresented (as in nobody talks about in the mainstream) country than some unknown/ random one one in the UK.
They have sort of the same system as the US, which isn't that bad, but it does piss me off if I were to get straight A through highschool, the state test can offset that. At least in Commiefornia.
Angel Davis
Lel. I can see it getting the Renault treatment here
Lincoln Hall
comparing Czech artistry with >French engineering
Connor Barnes
Didn't vw own skoda
Lincoln Murphy
it still does though all Škodas are still overseen by czechs and is czech based company tho lately germans are getting their butts in the skoda since they fucked up their VW brand with the diesel fiasco
Gavin Green
>College here is Marxist cancer, and the cost is absolutely fucking crazy. Cost of living in my area is beyond inflated. It will also land you a good job if you get the right degree. Going to the Meme University of Fagreb will likely get you a shitty job managing a child prostitution ring.
Thomas Smith
The migrant crisis is really only a 'crisis' in Germany and very specific major cities in France. Don't disregard the entirety of western europe because of that. There are a ton of good universities in the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, etc.
Yes, Eastern Europe is cheap as fuck but theres a reason.
Carson Scott
Switzerland is expensive, but I'll look into Denmark, Netherlands, and Austria. Cost of living is the deciding factor desu. Also, in your opinion which as the best colleges? England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland?
Jordan Ward
England, but it's by far the most expensive. If expense is a concern, I'd forget about England unless you wanna go to the University of Plymouth and live in a shed
Sebastian King
Remember while visiting that Europeans piss in the toilet, not the sink. If you get caught pissing in the sink it's quite a faux pas.
Josiah Stewart
That explains the looks I was getting
Nolan Jenkins
If you plan to study in Slovenia, you need to know that college education is indeed free, but application process is primitive and offline, and the cunt itself is shite.
>media are all far-left >if you vote right, you'll get death threats >literally Belarus tier of political freedom >literally Cambodia tier of mass graves caused by communist terror >inevitable economic collapse due to economic isolationist policies >people are ignorant and most of the time drunk >immigrants slowly ruining our culture, supported by cultural marxist media >huge mosque and a sharia zone to be constructed by the end of next year
Literally one of the worst places on earth, but hey, at least college's free.
John Morris

Camden Taylor
Is it hard to get into the Chemistry, Biochemistry or Pharmacy program?
I just want to do drugs and have hot gay sex in Prague while studying tbqh.
