What do you enjoy most about living in Romania?
(It could be about the culture, people, food, cities, or your university experience)
I enjoy the stunning beauty and calm rhythm of life in Brașov. One of my favorite times of the year is March, when women are celebrated through the tradition of Mărțișor, a small red and white string symbolizing spring and good luck. Along with Women’s Day, it creates a beautiful atmosphere of appreciation. It truly feels like a month dedicated to being seen, valued, and celebrated.

What would you say to someone thinking about studying in Romania?
Yes, absolutely! My advice is to come with an open mind and be ready to embrace a different way of life. Romania is a beautiful country, so travel as much as you can and do not limit yourself to just your university city. In class, do not be shy. Ask questions and seek help when needed. Also, try to join student organizations. The more you connect with people, the richer and more meaningful your experience will be.
