    NATO Internship

    Wow, awesome! How did you find that out? Did you get an e-mail? And are you sure it's not shortlist notification, but the actual internship?

     

    Yes I got an email. I was shortlisted awhile ago, just found out I got the actual internship and start in September 2016.

    UCL (MA Russian Studies) vs. LSE (MSc History of International Relations)

    in Decisions, Decisions

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I have been accepted to both UCL for a MA in Russian Studies and LSE for a MSc in History of International Relations and can honestly not make a decision. I'm very interested in Russian history and although there is no Russian in the title, the LSE program would allow me to focus on Russian History (mostly Cold War). The classes at UCL seem a bit more exciting, but how can you tell from a paragraph description. 

     

    Does anyone have any advice? Is there anyone out there who currently doing one of these two programs?

     

    Thank you!

    For the medical clearance only foreign fulbrighters have to get TB tests and chest x-rays right? 

     

    Thats what it appears to be to me... This medical process is pretty simple. I have a friend who has to do a medical exam for Peace Corps and he has to get everything looked at. Everything.

    I don't know if that was the right word, but it was from a blog of someone who did it. I think it was called the Unofficial Guide to TLG but I can't find it now; maybe it's down now? Anyways, here's a good resource: http://livingrootless.blogspot.com/p/teach-and-learn-with-georgia.html

     

    I didn't mean to turn you off from it; the person who wrote that liked the program, but was just advising people that since it's a bit newer it doesn't have the infrastructure that some other programs might have. So you just have to keep that in mind and realize you've gotta come prepared & not expect your hand to be held all the time.

     

    Also someone I know who did the Peace Corps in Georgia mentioned that since the program is not very discriminating that means sometimes the people accepted can be of questionable merit/ability/character. However, I seem to remember they also said this is changing as the Georgian government gets its program together and fixes the problems with the process. It's just normal for a newer program to still be refining its processes. Anyways, looks like there are some good blogs out there that should help with preparing for TLG, so I'm sure you'll be fine! :)

     

    I'm in TLG right now :)

    Long time lurker, first time poster.  I found out today that I received an ETA to Bulgaria!  I'm looking forward to being able to check my email without wanting to puke from being so anxious.  Best of luck to you all (even though I know that doesn't help the anxiety!)!

     

    Congrats! What is your side project?
