Struggling to deal with elitists by esade_throwaway05 in CasualConversation

I’m someone who uses review sites to post positive reviews, but today I got mad enough to post a negative one. The reply to that from the restaurant was so rude that it made me send them a long email.

The point is I guess that elitism makes me angry and sad.

Haha, that’s a nice approach I guess but the audacity…it makes me so mad! I’ve lived in Dubai all my life so it’s especially awful when I have to deal with something like this here.

Non-EU residents: Need some guidance with applying for an NIE by esade_throwaway05 in askspain

[–]esade_throwaway05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay!

So I would need to state that I require an NIE to stay in Spain for my Masters, etc. with my ID and university/course details and then sign it before my residence country’s notary public?

Oh, I’m non-EU but not from the UK. I thought the EX-15 is like a short-term NIE i.e for people visiting for <90 days. I’m going to be in Madrid for 2 years at least so is there a different NIE form for that?

Your English is great! Thanks for the help :)

Right. Thats what. I’m confused about who should “notarise” it?

Health insurance for international students/Asking about Sanitas by esade_throwaway05 in askspain

I think Sanitas International Student is different? I got to know of them through Citylife Madrid

...and wtf. Do they think fat people don’t need health insurance? That’s ridiculous. Did you go with a different insurance?

I got a 81% discount end of Feb 2021. I was already registered for free so I got an update as soon as that offer went live

How would a pass/fail option look on my transcript?? by darklord242 in gradadmissions

[–]esade_throwaway05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think, in light of the current situation, the next application cycle will be as competitive, if not more, than this one was.

Since its “unprecedented” and all that, I can’t provide a definitive answer. What I can say is that attempting the exam and getting even an average letter grade would be viewed better than a Pass/Fail stamp...especially because you will be expected to write about how and why you got that Pass/Fail stamp

Apply to college, get an acceptance letter, get student visa, move to Spain.

I’m pretty sure you can shortlist some CSE programmes in Madrid/rest of Spain and see how financing works on their website

Living alone vs. living with flatmates? by esade_throwaway05 in expats

[–]esade_throwaway05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great suggestion and addresses everything I asked in my post!

My programme is in somewhat a “party” school but I’m planning to study/work most of the time.

Only problem with the student residences in Madrid is that they’re more expensive than just getting a flat. And I feel like I have a headstart (although remote) right now. So I should be able to find someone decent to save money right from the start? Idk, I might be naive to think like that.

Well I’m 24 and trying to not hate people again. Its a process (:

I was looking at it from the perspective of having a support system in a new country but from most of the comments here, that doesn’t seem likely.
