“Discriminatory institution”

Aika S

Kazakhstan, Undergraduate
, 2012

Overall

We encountered a discriminatory and completely disrespectful attitude of the admissions office of this university. In particular, this applies to Juliane Achleitner, who apparently still lives in the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Her poor English doesn't stop her from writing to my son in an aggressive tone, using exclamation points, demanding the originals of the diploma when the university's website allows for the provision of apostilled copies. It was good that we faced the ugly side of this institution at the stage of admission process. Eventually we chose another university with an adequate attitude towards international students. I highly DO NOT recommend this university.

Pros

No special thing

Cons

Reassess their whole policy and attitude towards international students

Take one course in your native language so that you do not feel bombarded.

Housing

Type of housing: Residence

Arranged by: Home university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Because if I go back is to work, not to study... and it would be better and more comfortable for me to live by myself
