Hi, anyone can help with the requirements of the student's Visa to study in Austria?

I'm a female and student of BBA, want to study in Finland for masters and settle there. can anyone help me in this procedure?

I don’t know how many people here might relate to this, but I’m putting this out in the open now it's on you maybe one person reads it and feels what I feel.

I’m not from a traditional CS background. I’m not from IIT, NIT, MIT, or any top-tier engineering college. I’m doing B.Com (Hons) from DU SOL and no, it wasn’t because I didn’t love CS. It was because of life, financial conditions, and everything that came with it. Engineering college fees were too high, so I made a decision: I’ll pursue what I love Computer Science on my own terms.

And I did.

I started from scratch. No roadmap. No mentors. Just a laptop, YouTube, and that burning hunger to build something out of nothing. I learned DSA, full-stack web development MERN computer science fundamentals like OS, DBMS, Networks, and even explored Machine Learning.

I’ve done internships. Real-world work. I’ve built projects not just random clones, but stuff I genuinely cared about. I’ve written backend logic, deployed apps, fixed bugs at midnight, and done what every CS student does only without the “CS student” tag.

But still, I often feel invisible in front of the world.

Now, I’m preparing to pursue an MS in Computer Science. Not for a job. Not for prestige. But because I want to go deeper, build bigger things, meet crazy minds, and contribute to something that actually matters in the tech world.

But I’m also realistic I know universities look for CS backgrounds, grades, publications, and all that. And I’m not saying I don’t feel insecure sometimes. I do. But what I do know is this: I’ve earned every bit of my knowledge. I fought for it. And I’m not giving up.

So I just want to know

Are there any students here who are from non-CS backgrounds but still aiming (or have already made it) to MS in CS abroad? Any self-taught devs, engineers from commerce or arts, people who started “late” but didn’t give up?

I just want to talk. Not for motivation. Not to network. Just for connection. To know that I’m not alone walking this fucking wild path and now it's making me crazy everyday . If you’re also going through this or did in the past comment here or DM me. Let’s talk.

And if you’re someone who made it I’d love to hear how. just need some guidance

I'm moving to Naples in September for 9 months for Study Abroad for two semesters. I'm currently taking 10mg of Lexapro and have also just gotten health insurance for my time in Italy. Is it possible to still get prescribed Lexapro while in Italy? I know it's probably possible, but I'm just curious of the steps I need to take and how I can ensure that my prescription can be filled pretty soon after my arrival. I'm nervous about getting the script filled abroad so any advice, would be appreciated!

My major has this special Western Europe program where we will spend 15 weeks in 3 different cities around Europe (5 each in Rome, Limerick, Paris in that order) and prior to coming here I thought this would be the trip of a lifetime and would be an extremely defining and memorable experience for me. However, it hasn’t turned out how I’d hoped. I came along with a group of close friends, and although we have grown closer, there is definitely a limit to how much time I can spend with the same people day in day out. I haven’t really made many new friends who I think will follow me home despite getting along pretty well with most everyone else in the program. I feel like I left a lot at home, and this was an investment of my time towards a fulfilling opportunity and while I understand this is an experience like no other, i’ve gotten to see so much that most people won’t even get to see in a lifetime, I can’t help but think that my time would have been much better spent at home, on campus. The most rewarding part has been the sightseeing, which maybe is worth it? once I run down just how much this has cost me though I doubt I’ll see it that way. At least i got the travel urge out of my brain I guess?

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if anybody can help me out. I am a social studies teacher who has become extremely burnt out. I love my job, I like teaching, but I can’t see teaching on the high school level forever. That being said I have been looking into masters programs abroad. I was wondering if anybody has any ideas or information about historian careers abroad? Is it possible? Feasible? Or will I be putting myself in considerable debt and screwing myself over?

I have a well-developed resume and am in the process of self publishing my book. I would appreciate any and all help anybody can provide.

I have 2 subjects in my Alevels, C in Mathematics and D in Physics.

I am more interested in hardware, embedded computers, networking not really into software. I would like to do my undergraduate in computer engineering if a course like this exists or CSE and choose my major afterwards.

Preferably Australia or Europe.

Need your help, this is really stressing me out, what options do I have?

I’m an American student heavily considering studying abroad and I’ve pinned down my options in Europe to Uppsala, Amsterdam, or Florence. Asia also isn’t out of the question.

All of these cities have their own pros and cons but one of the most consistent cons I’ve seen about all of these places is that the people are generally pretty unfriendly towards foreigners, regardless of a language barrier. Also doesn’t help that I’m black. Obviously not expecting everyone to immediately start talking to me but I guess I’d rather not go to places that are notorious for having pretty cold people. I’d like to make buddies is what I’m saying lol. Can anyone who’s studied abroad/lived in any of these countries weigh in? Thanks.

I'm from india and my teachers don't know abt the submission of LOR neither do I ...do they have to submit the LORs by themselves over the portal or I can do it?

I only applied to the US, and realized my grave mistake of banking on one country. Well now at this point I still wish to go to the US but I should still have backup choices.

I previously tried because I like sweden but well aparently ( Please prove me wrong) theres two rounds of admissions. 1st round is encouraged but aparently you can give your predicted grades ( IB) and need the final one... Second round is less encoruaged due to the time constraints for resident permit and stuff

Anyways besides that, where else? sorry for the shallow post, Im just puttiny it out there

Im looking at amsterdam now, any other suggestions? Maybe france...

Prefrwnce -- Im not too concern with education quality, just perhaps the job opportunities. And besides that I prefer a colder climate, so no spain etc.

Studying in Germany or planning to?

I just started a new community: r/germanyforstudents — it’s focused 100% on students who are applying to or already studying in Germany.

We’re building a space for:

Application + visa help

City + uni reviews

Real student experiences (the good, bad, and chaotic)

Scholarships, blocked account tips, job stuff

Whether you’re just starting out or already in Germany, come share your journey, ask questions, and connect with others in the same boat.

New sub, growing fast — all good vibes, no gatekeeping.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been planning to study abroad for quite some time now. Initially, I thought I’d go right after my B.Tech (I graduated from IIT), but I decided to gain some work experience first since I’m aiming for a management-oriented degree.

Right now, I have about 1.5 years of full-time work experience as a Project Manager, plus 4 internships during my undergrad. My goal is to continue on a similar path—either as a Project Manager or transition into Consulting.

My top choice was the US (especially programs like Duke’s MEM or Purdue), but with the current situation there, I’m also considering other options like the London Business School (though I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for me right now).

What I’m looking for: • A strong management-focused master’s program (MEM, MiM, MBA for early professionals, etc.) • Good networking opportunities • A country that offers a healthy post-study work visa or job prospects • An environment where I can grow both professionally and personally

Given my background and goals, what countries or universities would you recommend? Is the US still the best bet? Or are there better/safer choices.

Open to any suggestions or insights from people who’ve been through this or are in a similar boat!

So I spent hours and hours watching pros and cons of each country, i came down upon austria ..i was on netherlands previously but the living expenses are too high and im broke ,and i cant go to germany as it requires 13th year of education ...and actually i just want to go for studies and im ready to learn basic language like b1or a2 german..

I have been accepted for data science masters in Ireland and was fairly excited about this study abroad opportunity but since last month, I am not so sure.

Some of my background info: I have a bachelor in computer and would say am fairly good at academic - 3.79/4.0 in bachelor and similar grades in all previous levels. I have a work experience in operations.

It has been a lifelong dream to study abroad. So once I started working I got some confidence that I can handle the abroad study with a loan. I am from a comfortable family but not rich so I tried looking for options that were a bit affordable than the UK/Australia/USA bunch and also other factors like language, lifestyle, etc. and Ireland seemed like a good choice. I did get to know about the housing crisis but Ireland ticked off most of what I was looking for. And I don't necessarily want a job in Ireland only. With this I did my application process, got admitted, paid half the fees and now have a visa appointment in a few days.

However, last month, I had a few queries about the visa and fee transfer. I was not getting proper answers on any sites so I started looking in forums like Reddit and since then it's like I have fallen into this black hole of negativity. Housing crisis aside, I just donot see any good at all! Neither for Ireland nor any other countries. And now it just feels like I am walking towards my ruin rather than exploring something new.

So I am here, ranting about it on Reddit (the very forum that gave me this feeling), because I don't know how to act on this feeling anymore.

Willing towards advice/conversation.

I’ve made the decision to go study abroad through ITA (International TEFL Academy) in Mexico and was wondering if anybody had any advice on what I should know before I go! Things such as Visa, places I can sleep, food, fun activities, literally anything!

Especially your mistakes you’ve made.

Thank you so much!

 currently have an education loan with Union Bank of India, and I was wondering how I can make a prepayment towards it. Is there a specific procedure to follow? Are there any fees or conditions I should be aware of?

If If you’re planning to pursue your MBBS/MD in Georgia,or just exploring the idea,this is your space.

Have questions about colleges, visas, admissions, accommodation, or student life? Drop them as a post or comment below, don’t hesitate to ask, we’re here to help each other out.

I created this r/MBBSinGeorgia subreddit because I noticed other forums being heavily influenced by agencies, critical posts getting removed and promotional content everywhere. This space is meant to be transparent, real, and actually useful for students.

Hey,

I really didn’t think I’d ever post something like this, but I could really use your help.

I’m an international student who just got into UBC (in Canada) for this fall. Up until now, people like me—kids of work permit holders—were allowed to pay domestic tuition. That was one of the biggest reasons I applied.

But then, UBC suddenly changed the rules. They removed that tuition exemption without any public notice, email, or heads-up.

Tuition for international students? Of course we can pay it—if only we’d been told in advance. Some people already paid the $3,000 deposit, and it’s non-refundable. Isn't it insane?

My parents worked like dogs just to get their long-term work permits. They did it all for me and my little sibling... and that’s what makes me so angry.

What I want from UBC is a real apology. A sincere, formal apology.

That’s why I need your help. I want to show just how angry we are about this to UBC. Can you go to the Google Form I made and just click “Yes”? (Only if you relate to this situation, of course.) You won’t have to log in or anything. (no marketing, no sponsored, only for appealing.)

Thanks for reading. And even if you don’t fill it out—thank you for listening.

my_qualifications: Just completed my 10th

My qualifications: just finished my 10th boards and opted science

So i was done with my boards a month ago and I've decided to go for science. And I came across " Male nursing " I tried to dig deep about it and got to know that you don't get paid enough in India as a male nurse.

But that's not the case outside india and that they're in high demand.? So I was wondering if that's actually true and whether or not there is scope for male nursing outside india.?

I have a few other questions as well :- "What is the starting salary anyone can expect.?"

"What's the main difference if anyone wants to pursue the same profession in India.?"

"Does experience a role in here.?"

" Is the study for this better if done in India first then going to abroad or directly going to abroad is better.?"

My main objective is to earn money and yhi soch rha tha when should I start the process for all this.? Please I need advice

Hello,

I didn’t have an opportunity to go abroad during my undergraduate because of family health issues.

It’s something I had dreamed of leading up to college and I would love to have an opportunity to make up for it now.

I’m unemployed and not in a school program right now so I would like to be able to travel but do something productive.

I would ideally like to learn languages but I would also like to volunteer or intern or work.

Any tips would be super helpful! The resources I’m finding seem to be geared toward undergrads or grad students and I fall between.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I will go to Spain A coruña as an exchange student. Anyone know about how much would cost me to rent a room? And average money I need monthly? I really cant find so much information about a coruna so I am a bit confused.
