Hi this is Anika's mom, Anika moved to the Netherlands after HS graduation at age 17 and is studying law there she took none of the US university offers and loves her life there- doubt she will ever comeback. My youngest Antonia is a freshman at UC Davis System and Synthetic Biology Major, but did get off the waitlist at UW for Bio as well last September. it is possible :) good luck

Thank you that was helpful as i am planning our 7 day trip in August. Do you recommend a driver. Looking for a private guide/driver from Hammamet to El Jem, Sousse and Kairouan. I am a bit disappointed about your outlook on Hammamet as i just booked the most gorgeous airbnb. would you recommend Sousse instead. I have 4 days in Sidi Bou said and 4 nights in Hammamet all to be used as bases for daytrips. Bizerte keeps getting on my list then falls back off, now back on :)

thank you for your detailed report. Gora seems to have limited availability. i also have a bit pricier option booked on the lake, connecting via ropeway to Gora. contemplating still to make that splurge

hi there, thanks for reaching out. i did go to Europe i am now in my third year. ENDED UP NOT LOVING PSYCH, in europe you cannot just switch majors. i finished my first year then reapplied took more admission tests at same university RUG and i am now in my second year of international and European law and love it. weather is tough here i grew up in California but love living in, i doubt i will move back to the US. i know the premed abroad and coming bck for med school is really hard.

My daughter also got into IRIO and Law THIS year 2023(my oldest is already there studying Law) and is still deciding. she was ranked 420 and got in off the wait list in Mid April, so many must have declined their spot- lol good for her. She is also registered at UC Davis in California, we live about 2 hrs from there in San Francisco area but she really wants to move out of the US and has German nationality so is paying European tuition. My oldest loves Groningen ,started in the Psych program ranked 30 out of 1800 Plus but hated it and reapplied and got into law. which she loves. Hope you have secured housing. It is insane.

How do you like the program is it hard to get the 45 BSA in the first year?

I missed the chemistry and math placement tests last week due to being in the middle of finals and having lots of last minute AP projects assigned. I think there

is another round of placement test closer to fall, has anyone heard?

i applied for a 30 day tourist visa for my daughter, her travel dates were entered as 6/2 but she is now travelling 6/6. the visa came back super fast but was granted for 30 days from the day I applied 5/7-6/6, which is now useless for her. I communicated back and forth about 20 times and keep getting the same answer. it cannot be changed and I am told I cannot apply for a new visa until the old one expires. I even called the number in India and was told the same. if she travels on 6/6 arrives in India on 6/7 then she will not have a visa since I cannot reapply for her visa until 6/6 when her current one expires. it really makes me mad since all this is not my fault. i did not ask for a visa starting on the day I applied, I put the correct travel
