Dreaming of studying in Romania; can't find information...Please help!

Hello!

Have you tried to contact the university to see what kind of offers they have for foreign students? I suppose it would be  " facultatea de matematica si informatica"  http://www.unibuc.ro/facultati/matematica/
Regarding safety, bucharest a safe city, as safe as a big city can be- it can happen to be pick-pocketed but it is very unlikely to be kidnaped. There are some areas where it is better not to go by night alone, but l lived here for 30 years and I did no need to go there neither by night or by day. I can come home at 4 in the morning and nothing ever happened.
I can't think of anything in that you shouldn't do or say not to offend people in particular for Romania.
Pets-again I don't really know, I wanted to take a cat out of Romania once, and they told me that the general eu rules apply-the cat  should have an international health certificate signed by an athorised vet. In the end I did not take the cat because I decided she wouldn't enjoy the trip.
What else? About what you should study-I think it is the subjects they have for admission for the facilty( as far as I remember it was math and physics-but check with the university. If it helps you I could send you my old books-I hope I still have them ( and they are pretty old) just to see aproximately what the level is.

In the end, just for my curiosity- how did you get in contact with Romanian language? I never imagined that somebody from so far away would have any interest in Romania!

If there is anything else I can help you with, let me know

Cheers!

Wooooow!!! Multumesc muuuuult!!!!! I would love you forever if you could send me the books, hahaha I will be getting into translation again soon and hope to have some money ready soon. How much would you ask for the books/shipping? (I have absolutely no idea what things are worth in Romania hahaha I think in pesos and dollars xD )

You won't really believe this, but...I first heard Romanian in "Dragostea Din Tei", back when it was still the "Numa Numa song", a "crazy, super annoying party song in God knows what weird language that's sung by a fat kid dancing" (my dad's words hahaha, referring no doubt to Gary Brolsma). Back then I had no idea that a Romanian language existed; I didn't know where Romania was and I was firmly convinced that Transylvania was someplace either near Pennsylvania or in England hahahaha >_< (yeah childish ignorance xD...I swear I'm not normally like this!) but I was intrigued by the beautiful sound and decided I wanted to find out more...it just grew up from there. <3 I've been smitten ever since.

This is one of the books i studied in the 11th grade-i told you they are prety old-it is only one of them, t think there was one more for algebra and another for geometry. I will check at parents house what books i still have, and if you want them, i dont want any money for them; i have no ideea how much the shipping would be
But i think you can find online some of more recent ones, cheeper and faster.
See if you can downloand any of the following, they are more recent

For 12th grade https://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/174853189
And 9th  https://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/181128011

Call the university first to see what oportunities they have for foreing students- usually gor romanian students the admision is an exam, and if you need to take it ( i dont think so for foreing students) you need the recent manuals

I would really appreciate that :3 I don't have much allowed computer time so I must generally rely on printed material--which thus far has consisted entirely of a pocket dictionary
I have spoken online with representatives from several Romanian universities, namely the universities of Bucharest, Pitesti, Politehnica din Bucuresti, etc. They all said they don't have an admissions test and only need my high school grades to be good enough. They said mine are good enough, but I feel I don't know enough and I want to be at least somewhat prepared
Thank you again soooo much I have had a time looking for books in Romanian! There's nothing here

How old are you, PrincessKiara? Perhaps you should try coming to Romanian using an alternative route, which might be the Cervantes Institute exchange programs. The Cervantes Institute from Bucharest is quite dinamic, I remember that some time ago there was a Cuban teacher. Another way might be getting a job here and you will learn Romanian by talking to people and later start an academic study. Or make yourself a blog and start translating from Romanian to Spanish various pieces of literature or anything else, I am sure other people will help you, if necessary. Become known as a freelance translator and perhaps you will be granted a scholarship by the Romanian Cultural Institute, this public institution has dedicated programs for foreigners who enjoy the Romanian language.
The public or private universities in Romania do not have a large offert for scholarships, unfortunatelly. The admission is usually easy, but they charge an annual fee. Good luck!

Perhaps the most effective way would be to become a volunteer corespondent from Mexico for the media from Romania. This will surely be helpful in case you would like to come here by an exchange program for young journalists. The EU has dedicated funding for this kind of activity.
