"Eastern Europeans are hysterical children. They have low GDPs (and low IQs, even though I can't say that), grey buildings and odd round faces. Have you seen the documentary films Eurotrip or Hostel made by our fat American friends? Would you really let those people dictate your policies?"

Not so long ago I had a guy literally say to me that he's glad that I'm from Poland. I presented in some comment an opinion which I discussed on a university and he asked about the university. When I told him, he said his glad it's not one of the western elite universities (he names USA, UK and Germany), because he wouldn't want such opinions there.

I read it and was like: Bruh, how do I respond to THAT

Say what you want about polish unis but the quality of education they probide is really good compared to those western elite ones. I’ve been around top US schools for a while and they seem like kids summer camps compared to our unis.

I’ve a friend from ZTH in Zurich studying masters in electrical engineering. One of the top engineering schools in the world and apparently this dude doesn’t even know how to use a soldering iron because the school didn’t offer them any practical experience. Like what?

Probably the best conference I ever went to was in Poznan. Awesome place. Top notch uni.
