Doubts - Is moving to Jordan something that you regret? by JO/EU
Was your move to Jordan a sure thing, or was it accompanied by doubts? How do you see it now, what makes you stay even when you would rather leave? Or has it become your home sweet home ?
MsKali79 - Don't apologize, everyone in your situation has the same experience. Not everyone is ready to admit it to themselves, or out loud, yet. Jordan is a beautiful country to visit. I am glad you are returning home with your little family, ... Read More

I mean that the classroom discussion will inevitably be in Arabic, as the majority of students first language is Arabic. Of course there are always exceptions, but this is my experience. I apologize for saying "presentation" in my first ... Read More

I have heard that I have to do a physical there, too. As you know, it is a different story with each person you ask. I asked for an English translation while at the embassy, but told there was none. The counsellor has been extremely helpful, ... Read More
