Well i'm afraid to say anything about calculations anymore Because you know i'm horrible with maths.

But i just put it through a currencey converter which also said that:

1 TRY = 0.661639 USD 1 USD = 1.51140 TRY

So almost 1.45 yes.. but i think that those 6 cnts on an amount of 6000 make a difference? I dunnow ?

Quoting mltm:

But, what I know is, now my school payment has increased 11% in one day for me.
I hope this is temporary, wouldn't want another crises...

Quoting Deli_kizin:

Oh because now you have to pay more Liras in order to get the right amount of Euros to pay for your course?

I have to pay to the course in Dollars, also such a weird thing. But last time, i paid the 150$ just in Euros, and once i'm there i'm gonan try if i can't just pay in Liras.

Quoting mltm:

yes, it's exaclty the reason because our salary is in liras. and it's just the other way for you, now Türkiye is cheaper for you

Quoting Deli_kizin:

Hmm yeah.. till I start making Turkish money
But that day is pretty far from here

May i ask what you pay for your course? I suppose it's comparable to one acadamic year, the length of the course?

Quoting Kadir37:

I can give 100 $

Quoting mltm:

Hmm, it's for one semetre around 1800euro, but just for the course, the residence is not included.

Quoting Kadir37:

Quoting mltm:

ohh, now I see.
But isn't it a bit xxx

Quoting Deli_kizin:

If one semester equals a period from september - june (environ...).. then it's quite normal for West Europe college-fees. For me indeed, Türkiye is much cheaper. For one year of education here i would have to pay about 2000 euros, and this course is around 900

I'm still not sure whether i'll offer my parents to pay the course myself or to pay a laptop myself
But seeing the fact that Ramayan is giving them away for free..

Quoting mltm:

No, one semester is from september to february and there're holidays.
Yes, yours is quite cheap.
Well, as I'm not working, my parents are going to pay all , but I'll get a residence aid from the French government, and I'm planning to have a part-time job there, since I cannot live as a parasite all my life

And it's one of the cheapest ones in France. And your way of thinking is right, once you get the thing you want very much, you forget its price, but I think this one is going to take a bit more than 3 seconds But I think the money you pay for education and self development is worth the money you pay. For what we're saving our money then, just for cars or houses??
And France is good for aids, they pay more than half of the rent of any french citizen (not the foreigns..)
And Holland is not bad either, 300 per month is very good. If Turkey were in the EU, they would pay it as well then?
I wonder if you can work as a EU citizen in any EU country? The fact that Turkey is not in EU yet makes all the problem for you I guess

What do you mean with being a EU citizen and being able to work in any EU country?

Quoting Deli_kizin:

Well the problem is that, i'm gonna do my entire study in Türkiye. If i would only do a master or one year there in an Erasmus programme, i would be connected to a Dutch uni and therefore have right to get the scolarship. But i won't be connected to Holland in educational ways anymore, so they won't pay for me. But recently they have made a list, because they noticed many students wnat to study abroad entirely. Unfortunately, Turkey is not in their list because the education-level of Turkish unviersities, doesn't match Dutch standards. But I read they might make a new rule: You must apply to a dutch organisation for education with your study and university in Turkey, and they will check if their level is up to standard, and if it is, you will still get a little scoralship. But that will start in 2007 i guess. I've been told EGE is a good unviersity, so i hope i stand a chance!

Quoting mltm:

And maybe for now your government is right on their side, because they say: "you prefer going to do your study in a country where the education level is lower, and so it's your dumbness and we cannot afford it"

Quoting Deli_kizin:

Ok now you just made me wanna explain why, in case of a language/literature study in the country where that language is native, i think government is very wrong

Because language and literature is more than an academic level. Actually Dutch government is saying: In Holland you will learn Turkish and Turkish literature better than in Turkey. Maybe the academic level and analysis will be higher in Holland. But a language is way more than that. A book is not just a story. You must breath the culture in order to understand every aspect. You must be able to place the book in a time-frame and if it's a modern book, that time-frame doesn't exist yet. Therefore the only way to udnerstand it, is to live it. So I think the best way, is to do it in the country where that language is officially spoken. No matter that the education is a bit lower.

But i get your point and you're quite right about it. Becuase of what use am i to holland if i study something that is worth less in my own country? But who cares, right now i'm not really planning to go back

About Ege, is there a site or a list which rates Turkish Universities?

Quoting mltm:

I also get your point. You're completely right. Your situation is very special because you are going to study Turkish Literature, but I don't know whether governments can be so sensitive and look at it in this particular way.
Sometimes, I see such lists in the internet, but ccan't find it right now writing "türkiye'nin en iyi üniversiteleri", but the accurate lists depends on the areas. Forexample for engineering, for medicine, for law etc. and even so sometimes people don't agree on it. But what's for sure is, there're some best universities among which're ODTÃœ, Boğaziçi, Bilkent, İTÃœ etc. Usually best ones are in the big cities. İzmir universities are also good, but not at the top, but it's Turkish Literature and I don't know in turkish literature Ege Ãœniversite is where.
