Work / How To Study In Poland and stay with my GF? Inability to move to Poland looks stupid. [60]

Hi all,

I am new in here so please forgive me if I am posting somewhere wrong. Here is the matter: I am a 17-year-old guy from Turkey who has Polish girlfriend from Poznan. As I am a foreign language student, our teacher wanted us to correspond with some friends from Poland and while this was happening, surprisingly, we fell in love. So now I would like to go to Poland to live with her as she doesn't want to come Turkey.

This will be my last year in high school and after that, I thought of entering to Adam Mickiewicz University but... Simply, I don't have MONEY for this. Tuition fee is very high. The cheapest university demands 1800€ and this is an amount, unfortunately, I can never afford to pay.

Is there anyone with a tip or a suggestion about this? My intention is to have education of English Translation Studies or English Language & Literature and after it, master degree on Business Administration or International Relationships. I am about to get mad. Being unable to move Poland because of poverty looks very stupid. There must be a way to overcome it.

Or?

My point is... Can't I find any scholarship in Poland? Of course, some Polish people might say, "Why don't you stay in your country? Why shall we provide you with a scholarship?" but I am sure they have no idea on how much I love my girlfriend and Poland. As a foreign language student, I believe having an education in Europe would be amazing for me, too. This is a huge advantage in international field, where we will need to be very active as linguistics students.

I know that there are people and foundations in every country that are eager to help students who want to have their education abroad. I started this thread with a hope to find someone like that, maybe. I can say that I am really very good in my own field and if I am given a chance, I am sure I will do good things for Poland. My expectation is to hear someone saying, "That you want to be here so much and you are so confident, I will look for something for you." or something like that... I just hope and wait and this thread increases the chance. The chance which looks very very little.

To be honest, I am very irritated... For months, I am trying everything to be in Poland but some friends of me go there just for nothing. I need to contact government and say, "Get them out, let me in! I am a good guy, they are just useless, believe me, come on!" :p

Thank you so much for that helpful information.

I contacted Adam Mickiewicz University and told everything clearly but they still didn't respond. I thought they would be having vacation but it is mid-September, isn't it something wrong? Maybe, simply, they don't care about e-mails. :)

1800€ is not much for a European country but in Turkey, because of high raise in Euro, it is very much. Especially when your family is not rich. And UAM's tuition fee is 4500€ for year. Suppose that I need 500€ for a living in Poznan a month and here is a simple calculation,

4500 x 3 = 13500€
500 x 12 x 3 = 18000€

A total of 31500€ which means I need 875€ for month and what my family can spend for me a month is around 200€ maybe. Even if I stay in Turkey, I will need to find a scholarship that's why I would like to try Poland. To be honest, I think I am a brilliant student and I can be successful to any country where I live.

And may I ask you what you exactly mean with loan? They give you money and you pay it back when you graduate, right? If I get an acceptance letter, would banks help me about this? I checked embassy website but found nothing useful. It is told that they help students but I saw nothing to be honest.

LOL, a guy who thinks Turkey is a third world country blames me for being ignorant while I am trying to find a decent way to have my education in Poland. Yes Midas, you are totally right, I am just a third-world citizen without brain whose aim is to get out of that bad place. Yes, that's why I am looking for help here to stay away from bad things. My intention is to be a great criminal in Poland, that's why I want scholarship. LOL. That was nice fun, thanks for writing.

And the other ones... I would like to thank you all for your helpful advices. But marrying to my GF doesn't look logical at the moment because I don't know details of it. Next summer, I will be in Poland for a month to see her. I will only have a tourist visa with me. How can I marry to her in that time and obtain Polish citizenship? Or let's say "complicated" instead of "not logical"...

I have still not been responded by UAM or UW. After discussing with them, I can try to get a loan from a Turkish bank.

By the way, to the ones who don't know, Istanbul is one of the greatest cities in the world and I am just leaving there to be with my girlfriend. And while doing this, I want to be a "good Polish citizen" more than a "chimney sweeper poor foreigner" and that's why I am asking for help kindly.

EDIT: @Depox: I really understand your concern. Unfortunately, we have that kind of people... But everyone is not like that. I am ready to have a Polish wife, Polish children etc. My intention is not to say "HELLO POZNAN, I AM TURKISH AND I WILL HAVE 8 CHILDREN HERE!" and this thought is simply sick. I just want to keep living in another European country. Poland is much more cheaper than other EU countries. My girlfriend is there. It has great culture and people. What do I want more? Poland is simply good. And I will be good, too.
