Returning to Europe and going to college there?
So i came to United States when i was about 7, currently i am 15. I was born in Poland, and now I"am think of returning back after high school (I"am a 4.0 student). I heard that in Europe, most universities offer their courses in English too, is that true? Can i return back after high school and go to school there in English? Also if i was to graduate from a university in Poland, can i translate the degree into English, so if i decided to, i could come back to US and work here?

1( From my knowledge only a few colleges in mainland europe would be english, but if you were to study in the UK or Ireland everything would be in english 2( yes you could return to the US after Uni and look for a job over there, Almost all qualifacations are excepted throught out the world.. I dont know what a 4.0 student is but i will presume it is like a grade a student?? If it is then you would easily get into some of these top Uni's Ireland http://www.tcd.ie/ http://www.ucd.ie/ http://www.nuigalway.ie/ UK http://www.ox.ac.uk/ http://www.cam.ac.uk/ http://www.qub.ac.uk/ Hope these help in making your mind up Ps Bob.. Both Ireland and the UK have a large polish community.

What's the policy at your college on student-professor "intimate" relationships?
What's the policy at your college on student-professor "intimate" relationships?
I've taken a position at a local junior college as an art professor and start this June. One issue I could see coming up: My children's former au pair, Krystka, and I have had what could be termed an emotional relationship -- and it has neared the point of becoming physical -- and she is an American Studies student at this JC as well as on work visa from her native Poland, as she's still under contract, but living in my soon-to-be-ex-wife's residence. Are intimate relationships with students ever allowed? Of course, she shouldn't take any of my courses, though she has expressed an interest in modeling for one of my Life Forms classes. To celebrate my arrival on campus, earlier this year, the art department had held a special gallery exhibit and reception of my work. Krystka attended, and, though just 20, did drink some wine and was on my arm much of the night. One old professor commented that she "looked like a wife." What is your campus student-professor relationship policy? Or even if there isn't a legal issue -- I can't find much in the faculty handbook -- is there an ethical issue that could affect my future tenure? But this would be a "pre-existing relationship" -- it began BEFORE I was hired.

Not a good idea I think. It's unprofessional, and other professors would talk. Teacher-student relationships are always rocky and likely to end up bad. Now if Krystka was already graduated from the college, then there's probably nothing wrong with this relationship.
2 :
An absolute no go zone. Your teaching ethics are skewed if you even have to ask this question. A person in authority should know better and not use their position to gain access into student's panties. Krystka is now a student at your college she should be treated as such. It would be inappropriate to engage with her in any other way than prof. and student while she is studying at the college or you are teaching there, irrespective of whether she takes your class or not.

Naughty, naughty. You know the answer to this one, you shouldn't need to ask!! Your searching for our approval here, aren't you?? You won't get mine, sorry.

Intimate professor/student relationships are generally frowned upon, but you would have to actually ask your HR department about it if the handbook is 'unclear'. Nice that you let an underage girl drink at a school sponsored function, though. I wonder how thrilled your superiors would be about that - no matter that she 'looked like a wife', she's still not of legal drinking age in this country.
5 :
I don't think there's anything wrong with a professor dating a student in college, especially when the student would not be in one of your classes. It's not the same as in high school where it would be unethical as well as a possible criminal offense. If you're in doubt as to whether it could jeopardize your teaching position, check with the dean's office or the appropriate office. Did you receive any code of ethics or such handbook when you took the position? How long until Krystka turns 21 so she can drink legally?

Is it possible to get tourist visa from embassy of canada in Poland?
Is it possible to get tourist visa from embassy of canada in Poland?
I am an iranian, 18-year-old. recently, the embassy of canada treats iranians unfairly and refuses our visa applications easily. My application for student visa was refused twice. I have a boy friend in Canada and we intend to start a family there. he is not immigrant in canada , but he holds both study permit and work permit. he studies in graduate level, owns his house, has credit card, gains high salary, active bank account, and all other good qualifications. we want to go to Poland , marry there, and apply for tourist visa for me as her wife for Canada. will embassy of canada in poland treat us fairly?

This is a very sticky question all around. First does your boyfriend hold and active visitors permit/visa? Can you provide proof of a long standing relationship with your boyfriend to the authorities? Emails..phone bills..Letters ect ect. If not your marriage could be viewed as a way to enter canada and not leave. Called a marriage of convenience. Many people do not require a visa to visit Canada. These include: citizens of Poland. But the fact your not from there and from Iran.. you will have a more difficult time. Which clearly states you MUST apply and be accepted for a Visa before you come to Canada. Doing that in Poland or in Timbuktu in my opinion won't change your chances in getting accepted. I believe that you will be treated fairly no matter what route you go, but in circumstances like yours and the situation surrounding your case, You will needa Letter of Invitation written by your boyfriend/husband as well. Visiting Canada: Who can apply If you plan to visit Canada, you must: have a valid travel document, such as a passport be in good health satisfy an immigration officer that you have ties, such as a job, home and family, that will take you back to your country of origin satisfy an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit and have enough money for your stay. The amount of money you will need can vary with the circumstances of the visit, how long you will stay and whether you will stay in a hotel or with friends or relatives. For more information, ask the Canadian visa office in your country or region. You may also need: a Temporary Resident Visa, depending on your citizenship a medical examination and a letter of invitation from someone who lives in Canada. I wish you the best of luck in whatever path you choose to travel. =)
