Romanian Alumni Stories
"Yet, the Fulbright universe does not mean only academic involvement. And probably this is one of the reasons this program is so fulfilling! I am the only Romanian International Student on campus, and this brings new feelings to me as well as a sense of national identity one rarely experiences when in Romania."
"Fulbright and UNC have given me the unique opportunity to study in one of the top journalism schools in the world. Taking part in a revolutionary multimedia program has allowed me to not only acquire extremely useful skills and knowledge in class, but also to work on projects such as News 21, a Carnegie-Knight initiative promoting new forms of journalism."
"The Harvard Law School LLM program was so much more than just a chance to learn about the rules and functioning of the US legal system; it was a unique opportunity to interact with US law students and famous US scholars and practitioners in a vibrant, restless and demanding academic environment."
"Today I believe that the academic experience at NYFA was the most prominent in my whole life. Not only that it broadened my horizon, but it also took my insight on filmmaking to a new level. It elevated my mind. It showed what beautiful things can be done with my craft."
"My Fulbright experience meant literally the chance to dive into a sweeping swirl of information and experience, into a most intricate maze of culture and science and civilization, all of which Yale University and Princeton University can provide the researcher with."
"The Fulbright fellowship offered me the chance of being integrated in a high-performance research team, and I’m sure I will continue this collaboration even after finishing the project, no matter where I will be."
"Such is Yale. A small sunny place full of students from literally everywhere in the world, where you can find at least one person who shares your exact same interests, no matter how eccentric."
"In the end, the only empty word one will use to describe all these is experience. It is an empty word, but if the receivers have the necessary patience to listen it may turn into a word filled with stories, emotions, knowledge, and friendships."
"The sheer delight of talking to, debating with, and arguing against a group of similarly committed, unlike-minded but like-spirited individuals is the feeling that persists to this day."
