Arsen Matej Golubovik, N. Macedonia: "I always knew I wanted to study computer science, a simple Google search revealed all the suitable universities in Slovenia and all the websites had a version in English, while for the information I could not find online I called the universities and they were really helpful.

When I decided I wanted to study abroad, I didn't want to go far, Slovenia was the perfect choice, both regarding distance and quality. 

It's really important to carefully read everything while enrolling and call your university if something is unclear. In my first try at enrolling, I failed to deliver some documents and were rejected; but on my second try, I got it right. Also, make sure you check out all of the options and compare all the faculties to find where you fit best.

Universities are not a one for all thing, different universities have different things and policies, which might make them more or less appealing to you personally. Make sure you do the research and find where you fit best, if something is not clear you can always call the university or send them an email."

Kuljeet Kaur Sidhu, India: "When I came here, I was not able to enroll into the second year because I had fewer ECTS than required. Then I took some additional exams and when I came here, I went through the enrollment procedure.

The university gave me permission to continue to the second year and one of the good things is that they were very cooperative and helpful for students who needed assistance in this process."
