Eastern Europe hasn't caught up with the times, yet. There, professors still wield a good deal of power and it's going to be a chilly day in heck before they relinquish it. Still, it's coming. I guess you can wait it out. I would do it all over again.  |
you are very right on much of this Kluver, one thing i did not expect from here. i kind of saw it the "easy way" ,no way....it is a much bumpier road to take, first term kicks everyones ***, cause you simply think it is not different then back home but it is, the whole system is different, but you get affiliated by the end of the first year when many have already left cause they simply really wanted the "easy way".
