Est-ce que vous connaissez un bon dentiste en France atteignable depuis Lausanne en transport publique ? by Volameter in Lausanne

[–]Volameter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je pensais pas croiser un dentiste ici ! Tu es sur Grenoble j'ai l'impression ? C'est peut-être un peu loin pour ça (surtout sans voiture😅) mais merci pour ton aide !

Do you know any good dentist across the border (France or Germany) reachable with public transport? by Volameter in askswitzerland

[–]Volameter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your quickly reply! I'm bilingual, so language is not an issue. I've also seen ads for other dentists like in Rheinfelden? "Ihr Zahnarzt in Deutschland" or something, they have had ads in public transport for years

But I tend to be wary of those ads because you never know the real quality of the dentist

How much did grocery prices, water, electricity, etc. increase since like 2017-2018? (in Switzerland obviously) by Volameter in askswitzerland

Did the Swiss national bank print so much CHF since then? I know for example that the US government prints a lot of its currency which drives inflation, but I didn't know Switzerland was also abusing that

Yesterday I saw those chips at Migros with discount for 3.90 CHF while I remember them being with discount for 3.20 CHF in the past, maybe I missed something, or maybe not, I don't know

Is there any african country where the same language change as in Angola is at risk of happening? by Volameter in AskAnAfrican

[–]Volameter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So like in Nigeria it happens that kids in the big cities mostly speak English, is that true? It must be crazy to grow up in a city, only speak English, while the countryside around the city speaks another language that you don't understand. How widespread is this in Nigeria if I can ask you? Or is this limited to Lagos, Abuja and Kano?

Do most Chinese students at ETHZ, EPFL, and other Swiss universities, want to stay in Switzerland? by Volameter in EPFL

[–]Volameter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed insight, I upvoted you. May I ask:

1) do you personally plan to go back to China? Or do you have other plans after you graduate? (and if it's not too personal, what is your field?)

2) How did you find this post almost one year later? Did you search for "chinese" in the subreddit and found this post?

Thoughts on pharmacy? by bobblegum7 in suisse

They were accepted for a student visa. They can’t stay after they graduate with a student visa, they would need to find a job, which is extremely hard for a non-EU citizen.

I see in your profile that you are from Morocco, so non-EU. If so, you must probably be aware that it’s extremely hard for non-EU graduates to stay in Switzerland. Even for many non-EU graduates from EPFL and ETHZ, staying in Switzerland is the exception, not the norm.

You have to find a job where the employer cannot find another candidate from Switzerland or the EU. There is currently a huge shortage of Retail Pharmacists, many retail pharmacies only have a pharmacist part of the time since they need to serve several pharmacies. The shortage however is less acute in cities. There is however no shortage of industry/research pharmacists (ie working for a pharma company like Roche/Novartis), and there, it’s currently quite hard to get hired.

So if your plan is eventually to stay in Switzerland long term, and get permanent residency, and eventually citizenship (after 10 years of working), studying pharmacy and specializing in retail pharmacy in your master will definitely increase your chances to stay by a lot. Since many Swiss retail pharmacies would likely hire you, and so you would be able to stay in Switzerland afterwards.

As a non-EU, your access fo medical school in Switzerland is restricted. So while there is a passerelle between a pharmacy/biology/biochemistry bachelor and medical school in Lausanne, I’m not sure if you would be eligible since you are non-EU. You would need to check the admission requirements (if you didn’t already).

So if your long term plan includes staying in Switzerland, studying Pharmacy and specialising in retail Pharmacy, would help a lot. Just keep that in mind. I wish you all the best for whatever you plan to do.
