thanks for the tip, mandi. maybe it is wise to ensure that the university is accredited by some reputable accrediting body.

it would be so helpful if there are readers from the europe or US to share some information on which accrediting body is reliable and reputable. not everything in the net is true :(

take it easy, rezymalik. searching for a university is like searching for a flat -- it takes up a lot of energy. but never give up.
