Why Estonia?

I chose to study in Estonia for several reasons. Firstly, Estonia is renowned for its high-quality education system; namely, the University of Tartu is the main reason I decided to study in Estonia. It offers a wide range of English-taught programmes, making it accessible to a lot of international students like me. Moreover, Estonia's commitment to innovative technologies particularly appeals to me as it makes things much more manageable, be it making a bank appointment, participating in online lectures, or even applying to internships and participating in interviews. The country has an inclusive and diverse community. Especially in Tartu, it is quite easy to get acquainted with the students from all over the world. Estonia is also famous for its reputation for safety and quality of life. It is one of the most essential factors that ensure a supportive and comfortable environment for my studies.
