Hei guys, thank you for the explanation. I thought, because there's no so-called entrance exam visa, one can: get into schengen area with tourist visa (surely with all required docs) > take the entrance exam > return to home country. How else one can get a short term visa for this purpose? I have ...

Hei, can you apply for a tourist visa for other schengen countries? It's a bit messy, but if you really want to study here, it's worth the trouble. You can go to Estonia as a tourist and take the ferry to Helsinki for example. I don't know how bad the situation is, but I hope you can still travel to ...

Hello, i hope it's not too late, imho the motivation part should not be difficult. Few things I could suggest:
1. Write in proper english & make sure the handwriting is readable ;) It doesnt have to be perfect, but avoid contraction & smileys like i do here :D
2. Be precise & systematic, use short ...

Can anyone here please let me know what insurance you bought for your studies?
The one that is recommended by the immigration, Marsh SIP, if I read it right is using reimbursement system. Meaning that we have to pay our medical cost first. Please share your thoughts & experience. Thanks.

Does the English part take any revision at all? I don't think there's ...

Hey, if you are still at or just graduated from high school, I think you should be fine. Me, on the other hand, I have not lay my hand on math textbook for the last 10 years, so I found the questions not easy. I did study material from previous years, they are different but are all within given ...
