    Hey Maria, I have a few questions,

    2. How competitive is a grad student from eth vs a grad student from the states?
    3. Can you explain the internship and research opportunities?
    Btw you look lovely and I really love the vibe from your videos, have been listening to the bg songs of your video on repeat. Have a great day :)

    Hi! Question about student life in Switzerland and life in dormitories. Is student life and dorm life full of fun and parties? Or it’s boring? Means all think only about study or no?

    • @psitsmaria
      @psitsmaria  3 роки тому +1

      the dorms here aren’t like the ones you see in college movies, they are usually apartments shared by students, so it depends on the people, some of them like to organize things with each other like parties or cooking together etc, others prefer their privacy and focus on studying, so you have to look for a “wg” according to your needs

    Hi! I am looking for a flat right now. I am seeing most eth walking distance studios are extremely expensive. May I know how far yours is? I might be setting my price too high, as I really want to be closeby but I dont want to pay too much!
    Thank you!

    • @psitsmaria
      @psitsmaria  4 роки тому +1

      mine is in walking distance, you might want to check out student houses, there are plenty nearby and they are more affordable. It’s very rare to find an affordable studio/apartment near the central campus, as it’s in the center of the city and they are in high demand

      it depends on a lot of things like where or how big it is, you can find a room in a wg from 500-1200+ and apartments from 800-2000+
