Budget places
I can share my experience, which is limited to "not joining" a budget group. Since I live abroad, I apply for a distance learning program. After completing the test, I was notified that I had been credited and sent a contract with its attachment and an invoice for the last semester. Reading the agreement and the annex to the agreement, I find that the budget seats are a bluff, because there is no point in either of these documents that would legally confirm the possibility of obtaining a budget seat in the long term. In addition, I had other questions, including the possibility of terminating the contract, because it was important for me to find out when applying for the budget. I sent a reply letter with my questions and attached to it an unsigned contract and its annex highlighting points that were unclear to me (as if logically,because I can't come in person and discuss them). I waited a week for an answer - I did not receive it, I wrote a repeated letter. Only a week and a half later, the LBK secretary replied to my letter in two sentences that she could not answer me and that the clauses of the contract were not changed, ignoring the other questions I had that were not related to the change of contract clauses. Receiving such an answer without any basic courtesy phrases, I was surprised that an educational institution that positions itself as an elite university can do so. And it is no longer even a question of budget funding, but of an attitude as such. I might also choose paid studies if I was convinced of the opportunities offered by this "university". Unfortunately, I realized that the priority for this educational institution is profit, so I rejected the study application. I wish good luck to those who study at LBK,but "not joining" this school was enough for me.
