Hi so I'm going to Kingston University in London this September so I'll be an international student, but I have a problem: I'm only really able to pay for the university up until the second year, and plus let's not forget that I have the accomodations, food, and all that to pay ( which I'll get a part time) but I didn't see any options about taking student loans or any financial aid on their website. In addition, I also applied for an international scholarship that only grants 5000 £ which is way better than nothing, but my question is, would there be any way an international student could take out loans? Because honestly that would be way easier and way less stressful for me up until I graduate of course. And thank you for reading this 😅, I appreciate any kind of response!
I read that Norway abolished free tuition for international students outside the EU/EEA in 2023. (How come?)
So what are all of the countries that are left where a student can go to college without needing to pay tuition?
And lastly, does Germany have an upper age limit for students to study tuition free? Or can students of any age study there without paying tuition?
Hey everyone,
I’m working on an app that you can ask from your papers/books/… and it gives answer with citations (where the answer comes from) for fact checking. Then you can save, curate and organize the useful responses and create a knowledge base for your thesis or course.
We are a small team of engineers and students who need your help to improve it. The only thing I’d like is having some students and folks using it and giving me some feedback.
I provided an example here (image) for better understanding how it works, then you can save them as notes and edit them.
The catch for me is the feedback then I can improve it and build something useful, and the catch for you is using GPT 4 for free and more.
You can read more here, also we’re building a discord community that you can join.
It’s not publicly available to everyone, so I need to give access manually.
This image is an example of how it looks like:
Hello, I recently had eye surgery and I cannot read the texts that my University sends me, before I used to use a browser extension that read all the content displayed on the screen, the page I am on. Those texts are not PDF files but are content that is within the University platform. The university recently upgraded their security system and no longer allows text to be selected so the extension cannot recognize any readable text. That means the extension no longer works and I have no way to read because of my eye surgery. I cant use an app or extension that needs insert text, because I cant select any text from the platform, I need one that can read the text displayed on the screen, or the page I am. I really don't want to fail in my studies, can someone help me?
Hi guys, would appreciate your honest feedback on the clarity of my mission statement (will be submitted)
"To lead with curiosity and ambition, using technology to innovate for a better tomorrow."
My lifelong quest of „why“ and „how“ has not only opened new doors and helped solve hard problems, but it has also fuelled my fascination with technology. I think that tech brings the potential to solve the world’s most impactful and pressing problems. From reducing dangerous or mundane tasks done by humans to increasing sustainability, revolutionising healthcare and leveraging positive impact. I want to become a driver in the development of impactful technological innovations to create a better world.
Appreciate your help!

I want to get away from my hometown, I wanna see things I don't care how far. people who have studied abroad or are studying abroad what would you recommend? How to achieve the most of it and, how to get into it?
Do you's think I'm thinking too far ahead? all I will say is that I'm in earlier age of secondary or aka high school.
I know there are some college pages but not sure where to find them, is there any pages to know people at the uni? thx in advanced
Hello, I’ve been attending a university this past year in my hometown, recently a hold came onto my account blocking me to apply for classes for the next semester. The hold is stating that i need to send over a transcript from a school i’ve never been to nor have i ever been in that state. I’ve tried talking to my school about the issue because my class registration date is tomorrow but they’ve been no help and just told me to email the other school. As i’ve tried, that school is making this so difficult as if they don’t want to send the letter over although my school said this should be an “easy process” has this happened to anyone else??? Apparently the NSC which is a “third party system “ schools use to verify if students have enrolled anywhere else flagged that information. I’ve never even heard of this school until yesterday when all this started.
Hello, I am currently a first year university student doing a zoology course in the UK, I am currently averaging a first grade and I work at the catering sector at my uni which I have done for over a year, I also volunteer every Sunday at a animal sanctuary and I attend bee keeping club. I plan on doing a month long placement in Portugal working with wolves straight after uni and I have already volunteered in South Africa helping with deforestation. I don't have the money to do a placement year however I will be doing the internship/volunteering module In second year. I want to become a animal rescue officer and I'm not sure if this is enough for me to get that job as apparently it is very hard to get. Is there anything else I can do to get this job?
Question de phonologie ?
Bonjour je suis étudiante en sciences du langage et j'ai un partiel la semaine prochaine j'ai pas compris certaines notions en cours. Et mon prof n a pas donné de correction pour le partiel de mi semestre ce qui m handicap . J'aimerais avoir quelqu'un qui pourrait m'expliquer les exercices du fameux partiel mais aussi d'autres exercices. J'ai un problème de méthode et de vocabulaire globalement ainsi que un problème pour apprendre l'api. Je m'adresse que à des linguistes spécialisés en phonologie .

Je dois revoir les notions suivantes : Variation libre compris Paires minimales ça j ai compris Généralisation pas compris Allophone en distribution complémentaire pas compris Phoneme distincs pas compris si mis en pratique Distribution combinatoire pas compris Variante lue pas compris Opposition distinctives pas compris Opposition articulation/arrondissement des lèvres Distribution libre pas compris Traits phonologique Coda et atack Statut phonologique Phoneme distinctif.

Hello I'm 18 years old from Europe, I have a question Can I become a history teacher or a historian if I study International Relations? I love History so much but in my city there are no history degrees to study, only BA in IR and I think this might be related to History. Thanks in advance
Just wondering because nothing is catching my interest, I gotta figure something out soon 😅
I want to pursue a career in drug development but I want to have a solid education in case i change my mind. If I study chem engineering K will do it in Netherlands in Eindhoven/Gromjngen , if this might help.
I like chemistry but I don’t know a thing about physics. I cant say I don’t like it but I don’t like to do physics problems. I saw that in the first year it is studied biochemistry and organic chemistry and in the second and third year physics related courses.
Another choice could be Chemistry but I dont want to have so little career opportunities.
After all , Im just a high schooler who needs to make a very important choice with a very limited exposure to different fields of study that aren’t talked in school.
i cant find a site that has terminology of the subject im looking for. does anyone on this place know a site i can use?
