Why Romania?
What made you choose Romania as your study destination?
When I was in high school, I had two choices: either leave my country and study elsewhere or stay. I chose to stay. Why? Because there are endless opportunities here that I might not have found elsewhere. Romania is a fast-developing country that needs success-driven people to thrive. I chose to stay because the people here are friendly, understanding, and always eager to include me in different activities. People in Romania thrive and prosper not alone, but together - and it’s lovely to see.
How has your experience in Romania been so far?
Tell us about your studies, daily life, and what stands out most to you. (In what ways has this experience supported your
academic or professional growth?)
Being born here, Romania is home for me. I like to think I know everything about this country, but every time something new appears, I’m pleasantly surprised. There are endless activities and places to explore — from taking the train to a completely new city and hiking Romania’s breathtaking peaks and meadows, to ending up at a random party in Bucharest, or enjoying the vibrant seaside atmosphere that, at times, feels as lively as the carnival in Rio de Janeiro.
What do you think about your study programme, instructors (teachers, staff), and university facilities?
How do they compare with what you expected before coming here?
I carefully chose what I wanted to study because I’m pursuing two university programmes at two different universities. The teachers understood my needs and adapted. I’m always guided and supported — they even take the time to answer my most trivial questions. Of course, not every experience is like this everywhere, but since I’ve been this lucky twice, I believe this attitude is more common than people might expect.
What have you learned in Romania — academically, professionally, or personally?
What’s something valuable you can truly say “I learned that in Romania”?
Everything I know has been shaped by my experiences here. People often tell me that I know a lot, and it’s true — I know a little bit of everything. I can be an occasional electrician, driver, teacher, cook, graphic designer, and more, simply because Romania has given me the chance to explore, learn, and adapt in so many different situations.
What do you enjoy most about living in Romania?
(It could be about the culture, people, food, cities, or your university experience)
The freedom to make mistakes, start over, and take risks without facing major repercussions. I can experiment, fail, and try again — and people here are tolerant and understanding. They know I’m young, a student, and that every mistake I make is part of my learning process. They empathize with me because they were once in my shoes too.
Do you have any advice for future international students considering studying in Romania?
What would you say to someone thinking about studying in Romania?
Just give it a shot - you might end up loving it so much that you’ll never want to leave.
