Hundreds of Finns are taking the Estonian university

hs.fi/ulkomaat/art-2000005577178.html

Hundreds of Finns have wented to Estonia for their university education after being frustrated by the difficulty in getting into the university in Finland.

It's next to impossible to get an veterinary medicine masters degree in Finland. In Estonia, it is expensive but a lot easier to get inside. Veterinary medicine will cost 8000 euros a year for a student. In Finland it is completely free if you manage to get in.

It is now estimated there is right now at least 1000 Finns in Estonian universities studying various degrees. University town of Tarto has 90 000 population out which 25 000 of them are university students.

Learning Estonian language is seen as easier thing to do than going through the troubles of entering a Finnish university.

Estonian university degree is 100% valid in Finland.

You should have an educational system like ours. We have good colleges, but also we have bad colleges for not smart people. That way, everyone can go to uni. USA is the best, as always

In the US you are not a student but just a customer paying for minimum effort for a piece of paper that gets you 30k min. into debt.

The only valid things you have going on are imported researchers which - o wonder - publish in the name of the US. But your education system? lolnothx

We have the best schools and attract the best researchers

Less than a third of your population even goes to an academic high school, ie, gymnasium. All you have is your apprenticeship system.

Wrong. Your system stifles potential brilliance by locking away education behind a very expensive paywall. Prohibitively expensive for poor people.

Your whole system is sick. Education shouldn't be a business, it should be an investment in the future of the nation.

Seppos out

Mainly this concerns veterinary medicine I think.
Finnish veterinary medicine is the world top quality, maybe the second best in entire world.
So most people who want that degree need to look it from elsewhere than Finland where the entrance is just too demanding.

Regular medicine draws people in too, into Estonia but to a lesser extent.
Finnish human medicine in Finland is not a top quality though. Propably Estonian is exactly the same level. Swedish and Norwegian medicine easily tops the Finnish, yet it is even easier to go to Sweden or Norway for medicine studies. But you need to learn Swedish then, instead of Estonian. Sweden and Norway studies are also cheaper than Estonian.

That's because we don't give every retard higher education.
If everyone get a diploma or go to a highschool - that's the point where you ask yourself that something can't be right in the system.

>In germany you're literally told you're too stupid for higher education and not given a second chance
what a country

> if everyone get a diploma or go to a highschool

Don't be classist, Hans. Everyone should be uni/academic high school educated

In your colleges you get indebted and you can get expelled for bad perfomance

Lies. Poor people get merit based grants. Everyone can afford college if they are smart enough. Not everyone needs a college degree

What? that's exactly what happens in Europe with free education. Every retard gets a degree and then can't find a job. Most of your schools are shit except for a few very good ones.

they actually went there because eesti is cute...

So, 70% of Germans are retards. Nice. Good to know

In Finland the university studies are completely free but the problem is that many retards then go for a humanist degree with some silly liberal teachings of things that have no use in real world. And then these people also think they are somehow special because they did an university degree.

There are always chances. But we don't have grade curves or the sort. Plus you have limited tries. It's even affordable here so everyone can do as they wish. But you have to admit that not everyone is willing to put an effort into their studies or strive for higher education. That's fine aslong they go for something else like a trade.

It's just that you don't get degrees here like candies. In the US you have midterms, projects, watered down content and even the first two years of a US University is just equivalent to a German highschool curriculum. They pay and the US education system is more like a business. It's just more difficult here. For example: If you fail an exam 2-3 times in University (which ALWAYS count 100% of the grade), you're kicked permanently out of the field.

in Germany*

Anyway.

A lot are actually. But that's not an issue. Not everyone is going to be an engineer or a rocket scientist.

Wew lad, glad I was born in Sweden

Just because you pay doesn't mean you get a free pass. You fail you are out. Check the dropout statistics.

sounds like some asian try-hard country. I'll second this (expect born in Finland ofc)

More of your people could have succeeded if they were given a chance. I am not saying everyone should get a degree but your system is way too discriminatory.
