hi again,
so, i got 103 from toefl ibt. Currently I was admitted to the Leiden univ, The Netherlands, EU law, LLM. By the way, I'm from Lithuania:)
As far as I heard, Toefl is easier, but i don't know for sure, I haven't tried ielts...
One other notice abt Toefl- when you do the writting part, or, any other part, where you need to write the response, the program would't change to capital letters automatically (let's say i to I:))) so practice to do that:)

Hello Masterstudent,
How are you? Waaaw, you got a really good score. Congratulations on that. I am so scared like someone will kill me :-))) hope I will achieve at least 90.
Where have you chosen to do Master's? Leiden is so great but too expensive for my pocket. The tution fee for me is form 10 000 to 15 000 euros....what's too much it is too much...hey I play lottely form time to time, maybe I get something ;) and then I will go to Leiden :-))))
I will apply where is free education and that is in Sweden and Norway. There is a good programme in Hungary, too...maybe I apply there, but I prefere the Scandinavian countries :-)))
Okay, thaks for good pieces of advice for TOEFL iBt. I will later chose which one I will do. Wheter TOEFL iBT or IELTS. Like everybody I only care for good results ;)
Hear you later,
Sanja

hey Sanja, that's ok, don't worry, you'll be fine. I remember when I was waiting for the result- I was soooooo scared... I had no idea what to expect:) I remeber taht I was hoping to get less from reading and more from writting:) I don't really remember now what exactly was the score for these parts separately:)
Yaeh. abt Leiden, you're so right, i would be too expensive for me too:) But i've got the home fee, cause i'm from EU:))) it's only 1500euro:)
I hope you'll be fine, cause I respect people who are willing to reach more, than what is the easiest to reach:)
You'll be good, i beliave:)
btw, maybe there's a chance, that you could get something like the reduced tuition fee? You may wanna write to Leiden or other university to ask, thats just an offer.
See ya

Hello again Masterstudent,
Yes, I know that students from the EU are so lucky if they want to go to Holland. Everything is cheaper for you but not for rest of us. I, as a student of law, feel here a discrimination but what can I do. Shouldn't the education be same for everyone, should it? After all we are students. Well, enough of my pathetic story. I am now sad :-((
Anyway, thanks for help. I will try everything to do Master's in Englsih language.
So, have you finished your Master's at Leiden? How was it? Have you met a wonderful people? Tell me something about it.

Hello again Masterstudent,
Thanks for everything ;) I wish you all the best in the future education and after this the best employment ever :-)
One of my friends from Serbia is there. She is doing the Master's of Advanced studies. It costs about 15 000 euros but she has got a scholarship from the Serbian Government and she has been doing something at the Tribunal with the Serbian lawyers. She is a really lucky girl. Actually, I think she finished it last month...ouh I have to call her.
Her impressions are good. Everything is in written form. You can easily pass exams, no oral exams at all.

Hello Rodyka,
I am planning to apply there for 2008/2009, too. The deadline is until 1 February every year. Where are you from?
I think that University deosn't provide any accomodation. You will have to find it on your own...maybe University can provide help only in looking for accomodation.

hello sanja84,
i'm from romania, i graduated from law school this summer.I don't know for sure if i'm going to apply to stockholm university, i'm still getting used to the idea of living all by myself for one year in a foreign country. I understood that there isn't a tuition fee, but you have to proove that you are able to sustain yourself with 700 $ per month. And there is the problem of accomodation. I believe it is preety expensive.
Have you apllied yet?

Hello Rodyka,
I will graduate in May, next year. I will apply before my graduation. I am looking forward to living in another country...new people, new everything...hey we have only one life, we have to live a little :-)))
Yes, there is free of charge and in Norway, too. The accomodation per month is about 200-300 euros. I will try to apply for a scholarship, too. So, can I tell that my parents will give the money montly for me. I don't have that kind of money on my acount ;))))
So, how is living in Romania? It is so cool now when you are in the EU, you can go wherever you want and whenever you want...we are not able to do that :-(

I didn't know about Norway. What University? Living in Romania is great in some ways, but in others not that great. I mean, here with little money you can have a more than decent living, every teenager goes out in clubs, discos, movies and so on eventhough they are not wealthy. We go to restaurants and out in the evening almoust every day or weekend. So, our lifestyle is very high. But with the same amount of money, in another country from Europe you would be kind of poor. That's why i'm stiil in doubt whether to go to master in a foreign country or to stay in romania. Because i'm used to a different lifestyle, i'm not sure i'll accomodate very easily. Also, I'm not used with cold weather, and I know that in Sweden it's very cold most of the year.
Concerning our entering in the EU, we don't see the diference yet. I went to italy this summer and I had to use my passport, eventhough by law, we are not oblidged to do so, we can use only the identity card.

Hi Rodyka,
Yes, you used a passport but you don't need visa for entering in any state in the EU. Unlike you, we need visa for almost every country. Imagine how long we have to wait if we want to go to the seaside...too long....
Just like in Romania, we have the same standards. Every teenegar can go out into clubs and drink whatever they want. We can go out every night and still have money for anything we like or want. The salaries are low but the prises of living here are too. So, it is same jst like in Romania. Yes, I know that youg people are livining different life style than us there but I would like to see other countries even if I would live poorer for a year. After all I think I could manage myself there for a year...come on...we could be together there. My boyfriend will apply, too. But, once again I understand you completely...I am not sure yet I will go there but it is for sure that I will apply so we will see what happens :-)))
Are you male or female? We are having a nice discussion here :-)))) Maybe none of us go there...ha,ha :-)

Hello again sanja,
I'm female. You are lucky that your boyfriend is appling too. My boyfriend is older than me and he studied in a different field, management and marketing, and at the time being, he is working, so he won't be able to come with me. This is another issue that I have to think about. I'm stil thinking of other universities, in other countries, but it's the tuition fee that raises problems. I guess I'll have to talk it over with my parents and take the best decision for me. When are you going to apply?

Hi Rodyka,
I see what is your problem...well you two have to discuss what is best for you. One year is nothig if you are sure in your love. Well, this is not the thread where you and I should talk about love isuess :-) You come and visit the BBC Learning English Boards, we could speak there about everything you like. The site is really safe, like this one, so you should not worry about it. We all come there to learn English and meet many new people. So, give it try if you want. When you go there you will be able to start a new discussion so tell me your nickname there and I will find you. Okay?
How old are you? I am 23 years old.
Yes, I know that tution fees make a problem but you are now in the EU so everything is cheaper for you. In Holand for students from the EU the tution fee about 1 500 euros and for me is 10 000-15 000 euros...huge one, isn't it?! The only problem would be living, accomodation. I will apply in Sweden and Norway 'cos of free education for every student, no discrimination...the only problem is 700-800 euors per mont...but I will talk to my parents so I will see later what happens. I think that I won't go there but I will apply anyway.....maybe I win a lottery :-))))

I'm 22 years old. I'm taking the TOEFL exam. I wanted to take Cambridge, but it's organised only in december and until then I hope I would have already applied to master programme. I studied english since I was in the second grade, but during law school, so for four years, I didn't have the opportunity to study it anymore, because our legal system is similar to the french one, so the accent was put on french, not on english. Now, I'm trying to remember what I've learned before and study more to take the TOEFL exam.
