My experience at Ro-Am is very different from my college career so far and from my previous education in England and the US.
The Romanian-American University is a fine school where the English speaking staff will work to accommodate you and help you solve any problems you may encounter in your school life, as they have been very helpful for me. The school is very nice and modern with state of the art equipment and it is only a short trip via public transportation from the city center making Bucharest’s attractions within your grasp whenever you like.
Bucharest is a pleasant city with French overtones that combines classical architecture with that of modern day cities. They certainly do not call it little Paris for nothing. There is access to virtually anything you will need and also to countless pubs and clubs. Here, the parties do not stop at 1AM.
If you are looking for a different taste when it comes to a choice of university, the Romanian-American University offers uniqueness, affordability and quality.After studying a year at the Department of Psychology at the Harvard Extension School, I decided to leave because while the university offered me a great education, the city failed to offer the flavor of experience I needed. Because I lived at one point in Romania when I was younger, I was familiar to the lifestyle and Romanian people and I was aware that life in Bucharest will suit me better. After moving here, I chose to study at the Romanian-American University and I do not look back.
