A dream fulfilled

Through "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of Iași, I have fulfilled my dream of earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. In high school, this was something I really wanted, but circumstances and my surroundings pushed me toward other paths that weren’t right for me. Thanks to the hybrid format, I was able to study from my hometown while working full-time at the same time. Although modest on the outside, the faculty is warm, welcoming, full of high-quality information, and has professors who truly empower you.

Chaotic good type of experience

It was amazing to find out that the Romanian academic space is actually open to the student having an opinion, respecting it and even encouraging our voices. I feel deeply in my element attending this university, and it continues to stand as a source of motivation to never stop learning.

Nice lecturers and impeccable study environment

The school is a nice school, with beautiful aesthetics, the lecturers there have nice work ethics and are already willing and ready to work. Tho there is little extra curriculum activity you can choose a sport and enjoy it individually The campus life is also very accommodating and easy to navigate
