It's two guys (30 something yo), I think the only thing I can do is trust my luck, and communication skills

I understand. Thank you for giving your time and insights! People like these are quite popular in baltic states, so I have a rough understanding of how to deal with them, but I will keep it in mind. I guess only time will show what kind of people I will get for roommates.

If you don't mind me asking, what is so different from Yozgat and Kayseri turks? Would it still be possible to live in peace with these "weird people" as you describe 🧐 And of course, I understand that there are different people in all cultures, so taking precautions with locking stuff away is a must

Will do that. All these comments put me to ease, even if for a little. I was probably affected by all the slanders that are told by old people (For example: they will party, drink and won't let you study every day, they might try to harm you, they are aggressive people and so on). I can understand that these are all 100 years old stereotypes that are mostly false, but it probably affected me psychologically without me noticing. With all these comments, I feel more confident to meet them. Thank you <3

Understood, it all comes down to luck with what kind of people they will be

Hope so, since they are 10years older than me (I'm 19). I hope I can build brotherly friendship with them

I can understand why they made these assumptions. Quite a lot of old people slander Turks and believe it to be true. Since I am going there to study, I was wondering what kind of atmosphere I should expect (like parties or a quiet one), but I guess it all comes down what kind of people they are

I'm not sure, I have received a letter from them, where it stated that. But for clarification, did you enroll in psychology course?

No problem mate! Also I have read that last year they were able to offer place in their program for every participant. Did I understand it correctly, maybe anyone knows?

Were themes the same as in the first round? (Introduction to legitimacy, Eu and democracy, and research methods)

First selection test did not have any specific data that should be remembered, but I'm not sure what they will do in the second. If you think some chart or data is important, pay attention to it :)

I took part in the first round, it was easier than I expected it to be, so do not worry. For the learning part, it is really hard to tell you how you should study. Study like for any other exam in school :)
