      1. @critialcloudkicker that is a trick the government found to make people want a master degree. Only about 10% of the population has a graduation diploman, i dont thinke over 1% ever tries a post graduation, so they gotta get creative.

        1. @mushi And what percentile of the people whom the government has gone creative on, and have been successfull at getting their master or bachelor actually stay in Brazil ?

          1. @critialcloudkicker hm, i that i dont know, maybe they stay here because it is hard to move to another countires. But the current government makes it easy for you to get paid to study in other countries as an exchange student, btu it is a real poorly dont program and people ususally only use it to get paid.

              1. @ghoultz i'm not talking about the organization of the program, not the people. In my college there was a girl (chemistry student too) who went to australia, when she finally got there she found out the college didnt have any chemistry related course, then they told her she'd have to chose something else. the she just went back home.

                Also, usually when you come back they do not consider the credits you got, then you nd up having to get them again, and having people who only want to travel is almost a consequence of this crappy organization

                1. @mushi I see. I was mainly talking about the part where you said "and people usually only use it to get paid". The real thing for most people (me included) that use the program is that we only go to these countries because we receive the money, otherwise we would not have the condition to pay for all the fees. And at least in my part, I have to show to my university what classes I'm taking and how many credits. I don't know how will it be after I come back though.

                  1. @ghoultz yeah, it seems i phrased that real bad. But if your University is as poorly organized as UnB, you probably will lose all the credits you got once you come back
