These are the options:
• University of British Columbia – Canada
• Shanghai University of Finance and Economics – China
• University of Copenhagen – Denmark
• Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi – Italy
• Pompeu Fabra University – Spain
• Koç University – Turkey
If any1 studies in any of these universities, please share your experience
Or if you have studied abroad in general, please share your experience as well.

1. Chinese unis are very highly rates
2. If you as a foreigner work in china, you are very likely to earn bare living

students are banned from working in china, still some people does it like teaching English etc.. but if you got caught you are getting 15 days in jail, and deported, unless your university tries to save you.

I am not talking about working there as a student.
My mum has a friend who is 26(i think) and she earns shit tonne of money just by teaching Chinese kids english.
1 reply
100 % they earn a shit ton, I mean even the guys without English license get paid at least 250 yuan/lesson, but I think they are becoming more strict with those guys recently.
Damn, that's a weird law. How about students from poor families? Kinda weird.

Actually, it is quite cheap to live in china apart from big cities, even the rent is kinda cheap, I was renting a duplex apartment (3 rooms, 2 balconies and 2 toilets) with 2 guys for only 450-500$ and it was at the center. (second grade city zhengzhou)
My room was as big as a studio, and my living expenses were between 300-400$ per month, while I've seen people living with less.
So you can kinda live off with your parents money
and for private teaching you won't get caught unless you are retarded, and the best option would be teaching them at their house
and like I said even teaching without a license will still get you a lot of money 250 yuan per lesson or more if you are white.

I always thought that because of people density in China, you have to pay a horrendous amount of money for 15-20sm flats. Or does it stand only for Japan tho?
1 reply
thats japan bro. or maybe big cities rent is cheap in china even compared to morocco from my experience.
1 reply
some cunts used to go china with student visa, just to go work and get money, they don't stay in the uni.
so I guess overtime it became strict like this due to those kinds of problems.
Bocconi > ALL
1 reply
Reason?
all trash, uni is just useless paper with no real world experience
jk pick which one you want. There are probably mentors of the program that will tell you something more about them. I doubt hltv is the best place to ask; hell, even if I studied at one of them I wouldn't want to dox myeslf
3 replies
I know, I am not asking hltv to choose one for me. I am asking about the experience in studying abroad or even better unis that are on the list.
2 replies
Pick one that you like for whatever reason and research it a bit more.

Shanghai and BC probably have the most intensive programs. If you just wanna chill and have fun probably Pompeu Fabra but you won't get much done especially in summer. QMUL mile end road?
3 replies
"QMUL mile end road?" - yes, that is the one
I c, i dont wanna just fuck around, i also want to get something done. But i dont wanna go full tryhard mode, so i wanna balance it out
2 replies
Shanghai is deffo the hardest mode out of all the options. I would also see what internships they offer at the different uni's and see what fits more your prospective career pathways after studying. You may be able to land a solid job right out of graduating. Also factor in your background and languages as you may get a more senior position in corporate fin a lot faster than your other peers.

I know 3 languages, Ukrainian Russian, and English. All 3 of them are fluent for me
Background, i dont particularly understand what this means, but i guess what my family does? Idk
My main choices are Canada and China, but im looking and other choices as well
China could be a great experience and education level is insanely high from what I've heard from people who studied there. Canada is also a good option imo

Then go with China. I have 2 friends who studied economics in China and it was probably one of the best possible experience in their lives. China is underrated af nowadays

yeah, for me if I move to a country for education then it would be something completely different than what Im used to, I just moved to scotland now for education to try it out so I can get used to it and see whether I could handle it ^^ But aye Im jealous you got such fun countries to go to :)
2 replies
Wtf dont be jealous. Scotland has also dope unis. I wouldnt want to study there cuz of the weather tho. I am already fed up with raining in England.
Im sure ur uni would offer u some exchange options as well
1 reply
I'd say it depends on whether you want to just focus on studies or if you want the experience of living in another country and partying and stuff
4 replies
A bit of both
2 replies
Personally I would go to Italy or Canada, but that is country preference, don't know anything about those schools
1 reply
Fair enough, thanks
There is no such thing as focusing on studies on an exchange semester, the classes are famously almost impossible to fail on exchange, and the level is quite low
Koç is pretty dope.

Does learning in china offer a language course in chinese? If so, I would take it. Having chinese in ur cv looks good i think.
UBC or Bocconi!
I go to Copenhagen University. It's very great. High level courses and good teachers. But nightlife closes at 23.00 atm so not much to do if you wanna have fun
But exchange semester is not about learning, it's about having fun and experiencing new cultures.
No matter where you go, your exchange semester classes will be easy and the grades won't count for anything. Go to a country you want to experience, have fun and fuck some local girls.
I went to South Korea on my exchange semester and had the time of my life.

Thank you, this is what I wanted to hear

Yo wtf. Are u all right tho?

China
I'd personally go to the University of British Columbia, although the cost of living in Vancouver is mad expensive so that's a big factor. If you think you can afford it somehow that's the best choice, otherwise, I'd go for Copenhagen if studying is what you want. If you want to have fun I'd go for Barcelona or Milan.

Luckily my family can afford me to live abroad, I am a lucky guy to be in this situation. I already live in London and lived in England for the past 6 years.
Thank you tho
All of these are bad.
Studying go Copenhagen, for partying go to Spain

Ik, I was just joking
I also might have sounded a but too harsh
I studied abroad in Barcelona (not at Pompeu Fabra tho). Can definitely recommend it, it‘s such a great city, best time of my life!
1 reply
And what about education it self? Cuz i wanna balance it out, i want to have fun and so some studying
China or Denmark. And I highly recommend to search people in LinkedIn who graduated from all these Universities and find out where are they now. Also, check the university agreements with private companies.
It's like when choosing subjects every single year: you always have to research on every teacher before picking anything. You might end up losing an entire semestre/year because the teacher was HORRIBLE, boring or probably a perv.
At least this last thing was quite important when I studied History: the subject can have a complitely diferent content because their point of view :____
What do you want to study? Denmark is the only place (out of the countries you listed) that will actually pay you to study (SU - state education support). Being a foreigner you will have to work a bit on the side to be able to get it, but it is still a HUGE benefit. Also the quality of the education is top notch
"University of Copenhagen is ranked number 6 in Europe (number 1 in Continental Europe) and number 26 in the world according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities"
The biggest and maybe only drawback is the weather.
Koç University is good, but unfortunately you would have to live in Turkey (not recommended)
I believe that you will love Shanghai.
I am studying in Canada and I really want to back to China
China bro, Canada is easy to get in
1 reply
would be just hard if the neighborhood around don't speak english or you don't speaking Chinese... to live there you know? gl great experience.
UBC student and also an immigrant here.
Firstly English is the main language, which is always a plus imo. People are friendly, and we have many people from different countries, so its easier to get used to the culture. But you gotta put in the effort to make close friends because I feel like everyone is just trying to mind their own business here and everyone is very reserved.
Public transportation is very good, you can go to pretty much anywhere for "free" (by free, i mean you pay 170$ a year as a student and you can use it as much as you want in Vancouver). I even travelled to places outside of Vancouver by only public transportation, so it has a great system here. Then it also has a lot of road for bikers as well.
Living in Vancouver is hella expensive tho, especially the rent (I think its the most expensive city in Canada). Rent in uni dorms is cheaper but harder to get into.
Weather is very rainy but it usually isn't super cold.
Then also Canada >>>>>>
