I was just wondering if besides the University students is there a black population? I wonder if I visited there would they be like looking at me cuz I'm black. Ps do i look half Polish? . i am not a racist but i am a queen so you were partially correct.

of course not, there arent that many Black people there. Its a very safe country and hopefully will stay like that for a long time.
2 :
k buenos pechos!!!!
3 :
I'd guess No. I work with a Polish guy and he keeps talking about my skin colour, cause he said in Poland he pretty much never saw any black people when he lived there.
4 :
No. Poland has a really crappy economy, so it is not a hot destination for African immigrants like the UK, France, Sweden, and such, are. Edit: What;'s with the thumbs down? This is a fact, not my opinion. I dare one of your idiots to email me and tell me how I deserved a thumbs down here.
5 :
I doubt there are many outside of university and maybe military spheres. The black people that are will most likely be African. "do i look half Polish?" lol. You will most likely be considered American.
6 :
My US Army friend was in Poland for NATO military exercise he's black and he said it was the Whitest country he's ever been to even made his stomach hurt and all the other people were more interested in him rather then what was going on.
7 :
Noway, there are black people there but you could probably name them all lol. This makes me want to go there and just dance in the middle of a busy street and see the peoples faces lol but its too far to drive to. And no i could not tell you have polish ancestry by looking at you the Native American and black traits are more visible.
8 :
no,of course not! thats one reason why it's not totally out of control like the USA.

Is it true that top American universities will take a limited no of foreign students even though..?
Is it true that top American universities will take a limited no of foreign students even though..?
No mare space up there :P So is it true that top American universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale etc. will only take a limited number of students ( maybe 3-4 per country) even though there are more ,,qualified'' students in that country? For example I live in Poland. If I apply next year, will only 3 or 4 polish students get accepted despite the fact that there might be 20 or 30 very qualified students? Thank you!

All selective universities operate on a quota system, some are more honest about it than others. For example, Stanford openly admits that they discriminate against Chinese applicants because otherwise their intake would be 100% Chinese-ethnic-origin as the Chinese are cleverer than Americans. I recommend you stay away from East Coast universities if you are from Europe and away from the West Coast if you are Asian. That should increase the odds of your acceptance.
2 :
There is something that you should know about American universities...I was accepted to a West Coast University(UCSD) and they mainly accepted asians because of their higher qualifications and because of the amount of money that they were to pay to the university $$$. Stay in Europe...university system is fine especially in countries such as Germany, UK, Spain, France, Austria, Switzerland, and others and you can get you degree validated with any European country now...
3 :
Yes. Harvard only accepts a hand full of international students total. they are not going to take all international students from only one or two countries.

I don't like it, but look at the bright side, I always get 2 points for answering and 10 points for a good answer. I agree with you though...
2 :
I think it's hilarious they will spend that much time typing out the question, and won't type three search words into a search engine or their public library book information system.
3 :
Well ,... if the questions are specific than I think it is great to help. I do admit some of these questions are very annoying. No one should expect an answer that takes more than a paragraph to write.
4 :
Lazy?? I wouldnt call them lazy, but resourceful. Here is a fine place for insightful research. However, the second part of your question leads me to believe that you are an exception. You have a computer....research it yourself!
5 :
No, I'm not surprised that so many people come here looking for help. There are some people who really don't understand something, so they come here looking for help, which is fine. These people will study the answer and try to figure out how to arrive at the answer. They're learning, which is good. And then there are people who does nothing but keep asking people to do their homework for them. That's their rights, but when it comes to test time, they'll be flunking because they don't understand how to solve the problem. They're so used to copying everything that they don't understand how to solve the problem. You can tell when someone is just lazy and when someone really don't understand the problem. Lazy people will ask questions after questions each day, so don't answer their questions.
6 :
You forgot the most important part: "Please cite all resources, websites, books and journals - just in case the teacher checks it out" PS: I thought it was due THIS Thursday???????
7 :
Its questions like that which make ALL homework questions look bad. There are two types: people who actually want help, and people who want you to do it for them. I'm so tired of seeing fellow students ask "Hey, can someone tell me all about the Civil War because I'm too lazy to go type it into a search engine?". No. Go online, look in your book (you know, that big fat thing they gave you at the beginning of the year?) go to the library, SOMETHING. The good kind of question is "Hey, I cant figure out this algebra problem. I can solve it from the second half, but im not sure if I did the first half right?" Those are good. They usually include the question, then explain what they did, and people are nice enough to help with comments like "you need to divide 30x by 2, which will get you x over 9" or something.
8 :
I think it is kind of incentive to call someone a punk or a couch potatoe. I believe everyone who come here to this sight have ask for help, I have ask questions that does not mean I am a couch potatoe just someone looking for help, for an example I have ask for help with math problems, once I see how you work the problem then I learned the process and then can work it myself or help someone else, then I answer questions on this site I know to help others since others have help me, I don't think we are letting them get a free ride just helping one another which is a good thing.
9 :
Oh, what a GREAT question! I've actually began lecturing on the purpose of the site! I do think this site has it's place. I'm always willing to help a kid with a place to start doing research, or perhaps editing something they have already written. I got a kick out of the one a few questions back that wanted a 2 page essay on New York! Somebody (momo) actually gave him one! I double dared him to use it (and flunk) because it was a verbatim transcript from Wikipedia! LOL Sometimes I actually wish I was mean enough to purposefully write a GREAT, but WRONG essay! Teachers aren't stupid. They'll soon figure this out and see the assignments and problems they've assigned up here. And some will get very, very sneaky!

Hey! Im in the 1st year of 6 year M.D - came all the way from Canada :) Being my 2nd month in - its pretty good I have to say. I highly doubt you need your SAT scores - Many kids came from Canadian highschools or were in the middle of univeristy and just switched to med school. All you need is your highschool marks for Chem, Bio, Physics and English. In terms of Poznan - Its pretty sick I have to say. Parties every weekend - always something to do. Classes are actualy Ok. Iv been told by older students that if you just keep up and Dont fall behind you will do fine. The only class thats really a b*tch is Biophysics, lol Im pretty sure %80 percent of my program cringe when they go to that class. My program now is about 70 people and its split into around 5 groups for seminars and labs - so around like 15 appx students per group so its pretty good - Making friends is a peice of cake, especially if you are on dorm - just be friendly and everyone is out making friends like you are so that wont be a problem.. however it is very clique-ish in school...almost reminds me of highschool but in the end...were all in school to be doctors and everyone is on the same page. When you apply - U are probably going to have your interview in NY - I actually flew to Poznan for my interview just so I can see the school and city but I heard from my friends they actually ask chem questions and biology questions on your interview to see where u stand at - my interview in Poland was more of an interview to see why I want to be a doctor and why in Poland and all that. Many kids are from the states tho..TONS and also many from Norway. There very chills but they stick to there groups of norweigians but they do party well :) Many kids from NY, Chicago, California (the M.D degree just got recognized there and a bunch are applying now I hear, probably your year) and also from Florida...and of course tons of Canadians. Bottom line - I know its only my first couple months in the 6 year program - but deffinatly a fun school to go to for medicine...Dont forget, just because you go to medical school doesnt mean you cant go out - U just need to control your school and partying. Good thing is with our school is you can always double up on classes and you can get out for christmas break a week or 2 earlier.. Couple friends in D.D.S (dentistry) are getting nearly a month off because there class reps arranged time with profs to double up on classes but its worth it. School buildings are very nice - old and antique but coming from a nice highschool that has wifi - this is deffinatly a downgrade, but bearing in mind you are in Poland - its a very old city with lots of history and those buildings go waayyy back - Its just enjoying the heritage and the amazing arcitect in school. If you dont speak polish dont worry - You are on the same page with MANY students who know ZERO polish and you have polish class..and trust me...it actually helps. ANYWAYYSS - I know i wrote a long crazy answer but I hope I helped you a bit. I remember a year ago I was also freaking out but being here in Poland and finally in med school and studying...its a rewarding feeling, especially getting that letter saying you are accepted into medical school - I still keep it. So, apply to this school and hopefully I can see you next year and party. Good Luck!

There is no absolute best place for everyone. It really depends on what your interests are. Any of the countires you listed could be great experiences for you. Choose the place that most interests you - they will all be sufficiently different from what you're used to that you can see, do, and learn a lot.

France is quite American now. They have a lot of Mcdonalds (the second apart from the US) They have many different things, the little villages are quite different and can be nice but Paris etc... is usually full of tourists. The UK is a good place to go, you don't need to learn another language, it's different and we are all friendly BabyGoBoomBoom

what does this question have to do with fashion and accessories? Do you speak or are u wanting to learn a different language. My advice would be to go to that country so that you can practice and learn

oo do the netherlands, then there is a good chance youll end up in scandinavia at some point and that whole area, netherlands included is just epic

Here are you options in order of least like America to most like America: Poland, (least like America) Netherlands & Denmark (more or less equal "unlke America" score) France Belgium Germany (most like America but still not America, I wouldn't mind living there or being reborn there).

Spain isn't good (been there many times). Its full of English tourists and tacky resorts no matter where you go. Your not missing much. Italy is gorgeous. Everyone is so nice and friendly, the towns and cities are beautiful. I went to Sorrento and loved it, which really only rubs it in your face as you can't go, but get there one day!! :P France is gorgeous from what I've heard. Just work like crazy on your French before you get there. They don't mind bad French, but they do mind not even making an effort to speak French. I would imagine Belgium to be very different to America.. France and Belgium I'd say would be pretty similar to each other. Poland is very different too, but its a very hard language.My friends went there and said it was interesting, but not very 'beautiful' like say France would be. I'd like to go there one day Germany would have also been a good one, as its a pretty easy language and would be really different to America. I'd put that down instead of Belgium or the Netherlands. I think you've picked good ones though
