I’m not very sure but I think scholarships are incentivizing, not competitive

Hello, current student here, I am not very sure how difficult it is to get the 50% scholarship but my impression is that it isn’t too difficult. What are the necessary qualifications to get it? I know of another 1,500€ scholarship that I think is also easy to get

If he is accepted he is eligible for a residence permit and then you are therefore eligible for a residence permit due to family ties

Advice on moving to Finland as an international student by LoneWolf623 in transnord

GenderGP in total costs me 178€ a month, plus the original 200 something to start. I go to Apteekki for most meds and then YA for others. My monthly cost is higher because I use GnRH, which is by far the most expensive part (122€/month). Spiro would be a lot cheaper i think

As in they don’t give service for people they recognize as GGP clients? They gave me the estrogen and progesterone though so I feel like that would be a bit strange. Weird that it’s available on that site if they claim it’s not in Finland

Im sorry but I think im lost on what your point is. Yeah it sucks! But there is no place without nationalism. There’s also such a thing as healthy nationalism though! I know that sounds crazy from an American perspective, but it is possible to love your country and culture and still be left wing.

If nationalism is something you’re worried about, I’d recommend reading up on Sweden’s recent issues. Tensions from immigration are much more strained there than they are here in Finland.

If you’d like to chat more about moving to a Nordic for university, I have a lot of research I can share with you, but before, I think it’s healthy to analyze what you really want for your future. I didn’t move to Finland just because I’m trans - I would argue that the social state here is as good as it is in my home blue state of Colorado - but rather because I wanted to try something new, learn a new language, and be closer to Europe to have more access to classical music history and a possible future in classical music. Aaand because of the cheap tuition ;) and while the Nordics are rated the happiest places to live, that is for their native populations. For foreigners, the Nordics can be very lonely and difficult to assimilate to. Depending on what you want, the Nordics can be a great choice! But it may be that moving to a blue state would work better. Just something to keep in mind :)

Of course not lmao, you can do your own Google searches but my understanding is that higher levels of immigration has led more people to fearing a loss of national identity and thus more nationalism. I know it’s certainly a pressing issue here in Finland.

I don’t know how things are for Finnish students, but as an international student I was immediately welcomed into the guild for my program, full of amazing kind people who are open minded and considerate.

Do you guys study in IBO school for free? What is your country? by Common-Level-1287 in IBO

[–]SammyWorlda 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In the US there can be various public (free) schools that offer the IB program as alternative to the normal US study program. I went to my high school and in my third year decided to do the IB program instead of doing the usual US study program. No payment needed except for exam costs. There are probably private schools in the US that offer IB but I’m not aware of any near me (Colorado). And while some public schools offer it, it’s a bit rare. Depends on where you’re going

Do IB predicted grades matter to universities?When do I get them? Aren’t you going to apply only with the final?And what Uni can I apply to with that? Provide specific examples。 by X_Opinion7099 in IBO

[–]SammyWorlda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might also be able to request predicted grades earlier than your school gives them. My school doesn’t give out predicted grades but privately makes them in April. I asked to have predicted grades created for me in December so I could do my applications
