@ Torq:

When I joined this forum, I introduced myself in a seperate thread under the title "introducing myself" and I answered that question about why I wanna come to Poland before anyone asked.

Anyways, ill say it here again, although 'Bolle' and 'zetigrek' answered half the question :)

First of all, I wanna study in EU, because in USA, Canada, or Australia, its quite expensive and getting in uni there is very hard! Plus, USA and Canada is on the other side of the world. anyways, so in EU, i searched for my program (architecture/ civil engineering) in english in Germany, Finland, Sweden et al. but unfortunately, there is no bachelors degree available in those places in english, but at WUT, i found my course in english, so which is a good option for me! Therefore, i chose Poland. plus, i got loadz of friends in Poland, so thats not bad :)

PS: I am a Bangladeshi but been living abroad for 12 years (i was in my country only for 5 years)

Yep, i did search Hungary and they do have programes in english, however, Hungary turned out to be more costly (tuition fee, living isn't expensive tho) ..... and other countries like Czech Rep, Slovakia, Romania, Slovenia etc, i'm not sure if they offer studies in english BUT even if they do, my dad would disagree sending me in those places lol

and about living life in Poland, well, let's just say, i'll have to get used to it :) ...... if might be strange and all to me in the beginning but will be fine later hopefully (altho i might find it hard to get a mosque to pray haha) ....

and about those people, well they r basically everywhere.

You should be grateful that someone from the arsehole of the world choose to study in your country

Who are u referring as the arsehole of the world? o.O

You will find one in Warsaw, no worries.
Anyway - best of luck to you in your studies. I hope they will give you plenty of useful
skills, which later you will be able to use to make your home country a better place to live.
I'd say that Bangladesh, as a developing country, is in bad need of good engineers.
I am glad that Poland can help Bangladesh with giving education to its future elite.

The mosque is Warsaw, is that the one and only located in Wilanów?

And Dziękuje for wishing me luck ;) ..... and its not just me, I heard many Bangladeshi students these days are going to Poland to study. Bangladesh is indeed a developing nation (~6% GDP growth a year) and there are loadz of infrastructure and development works going on, but it might take me a while before I settle back in my country, since I'm used to the foreign environment.

You think he's going back? He has a cheek to look down on the Czeph Republic..

haha, I'm definitely going back to Bangladesh someday no worries, i already go every 1 or 2 years for summers but who knows, even if i live in Europe, I would be in Bangladesh from time to time.

Because they think ALL European countries are just begging for their services? He would have discounted Germany straight away since they are not allowed to work. Im not sure why his father was so against the Czech Republic and thought Poland was better? Do you have any thoughts on this?

Well, I'm not sure why, he sometime still thinks its the same old Czechoslovakia haha, but personally, i prefer Poland much more than Czech Republic. My father is a university professor and in his college, there is a Polish lady who teaches as well and he talked with her to know more about Poland since I wanna go there and stuff.

Bangladesh is one of the most poverty stricken countries in the world..
Your father probably wont return..Neither will you..
......

Dude, are you seriously that back-dated? I know about my country more than any of you in this forum. Look at those datas, they are way too old. Did you know that Bangladeshi exports to Poland is worth over $70 million? Plus, look at the link below as to see which position are we in now:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Bangladesh
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Eleven
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRIC

within one or 2 years, we will be a mid income nation. many europeans and americans dont know the real Bangladesh unfortunately. I dont know if it is allowed to post links to other forum here, but if it is, then I would link you to the forum where u could see more about Bangladesh :))

My father doesn't wanna return as he got good university job which pays him about eqv. 4,800 EU a month, plus he isn't as patriotic as me! so my case is different.

2000 zł at least. All depend what's your needs and where you will rent a flat (or room).
Cost of renting small flat is about 1700 zł. I don't know about a single room rent costs. Uni dormitories are of course much cheaper.

I see, according to the WUT site, it says we need about 400 EU a month, but maybe thats because if someone gets to stay at uni residence??

To live (rent, bills, phone, internet) to eat to maybe have some social life you would need about 3K - plus no chance of a part time job, so your family will have to support you.

even though my family can support me, my dad thinks i should do some job and earn my own sometime so i can understand about the 'saving money' thingy. lol. guess i'll have to learn Polish then :P , unless i get private teaching jobs for english.

@ Torq:

bro, those pictures u posted, u know how old are they? :P ..... those overcrowded trains hardly exist these days! ..... there are now InterCity trains (painted in white with green and red bands) with A/C coaches. and the first picture, those buses u see, they dont exist either, the double deckers used these days are Volvo ones and many of those rickshaws have been removed from major highways in the city.

I would suggest u look at the following link, to get updated info on Bangladesh :)

skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928

I was talking about nominal GDP per capita, not PPP per capita. In the economic language, a country over $950 nominal GDP per capita is said to be mid-income nation. Currently, our nominal GDP per capita is over $700, so its just a matter of time before we get to over $950 and be a mid-income nation.

I do understand that u wish the best for us, thank you for that :) .... yes, we are a large population and that's why, we need some time to be a fast developing nation.

And one more thing, Bangladesh is probably the only Muslim country in the world where there is complete religious freedom for all 4 major religions, and there hasn't been any clash between them! We give holidays for Eid, Christmas, Hindu and Buddist celebrations.

Dziękuje much :)

Well, fair play to you then. It's good to hear that you allow freedom of religion in your country
(unfortunately, we can't say the same thing about all muslim countries.)

yep, in Bangladesh, when we say 'freedom of religion', we really mean it :)) (FYI, the christian population there is about 2 million - 1.2% of total but there are missionary works aswell) , but yes, it is indeed unfortunate that in many Muslim countries, there are divisions between different faiths which eventually ends up in having some sort of fight. Islam doesn't teach us this, but sadly, many Muslims don't follow proper Islam, and that's why they have to face discriminations and stuff in the west!
