Ughh... On the link I gave two posts above, it says that in Italy the minimum required amount of money you must have in order to show that you can "survive" is 352 euros per month which is about $450. Is that the same for Netherlands o.O?

Do you want to survive in a small village in the countryside, or live in some proximity to a university?

Expect to pay 300 Euros just for a room. Several websites suggest that students in Italy should budget at least 750 Euros/month for living expenses, more if they are studying in one of the more expensive cities.

Oh, well, I didn't know that, I thought that applied areas within the city as well.
What is the cost of living in Netherlands, then?

What about Poland/Romania? Poland seems cheap. Do you think tuition for Accounting would be expensive?
Ahh there are so many to choose from :/...

Cost aside, may I ask what you intend to do with an accounting degree from Poland or Romania? Do you want to emigrate to one of those countries? Given that accounting procedures and business laws are different in each country, you should really study accounting in the country that you want to live in afterwards...

I didn't know that business laws changed so much in different countries that you can't use your knowledge and work on other studies, for the heck of it I'm still only 17 haha.
I really like biology and the human/animal bodies, but I don't think I would do a good doctor of any type as I'm a really picky person and I get terrified when my mom unpacks the just bought, fresh chicken to put it in the stove, let alone working with people's lives. Meat and blood terrifies me. I know I'm talking out of nowhere and doctorate doesn't consist of that only, but I don't feel really good with it. I think I've seen to much Grey's Anatomy.
I also really like business and want to go far in it, I like travelling and closing big deals in different countries and seeing that business would fulfill this desire better than biology would, I would lean towards that, and Accounting and Finance, which I would like to study both (probably major in Accounting and minor in Finance), and since I've heard that accounting is MUCH more versatile in business, and everyone keeps telling me that, it's even on the internet :P (Should I major in Business Management? - Yahoo! Answers, Should i major in accounting? - Yahoo! Answers, Accounting major? - Yahoo! Answers). But really, is accounting powerful in the US only :/? If I'm really good at it, can't I be accepted to work in the US/UK/AUS whatever after I graduate in Poland?
I don't mind moving to Europe either, as long as it's Western/North/Northwestern Europe, I'm really not a fan of the east.
Sorry for messing your brains, it's just that it's a big time for me and I feel like I am running out of time every day.
Thanks!

Bump.
And also do these countries in Europe offer scholarships and financial aids to international students or are these offered in America only?
