"... so in that forthcoming moment the first person in line walked out of the balcony onto the balcony and formed a form."

Question about the HZB as a transfer student

I live in Germany through the military and I plan on studying in a German college. I have an American highschool diploma and an associates degree I know they all require HZB. Can anyone help explain what this really entails? From my understanding you study a subject and take a test based on that knowledge. Would an AA degree count in substitue of it?

Would I still need to take an HZB? If I did, would that mean I have to take extra classes somewhere?

I also have taken the SAT. I'm wondering if all of this combined would be an okay substitute or I would still have to do the HZB thing. For reference, right now I'm looking at applying to Leuphana.

How do you ap art students come up with such creative ideas?

I'm doing ap 2d art next year and I am a chronic over planner so I've already started doing sketches and concepts for my portfolio (I have a really busy schedule next year, I'm taking 5 out of school classes plus school in general lol so I really want to make sure I'm as ahead as I can). I'm not the best as technique but I'm a pretty quick learner but one thing I'm really struggling with is creative concepts. How do you figure out what to create with such good symbolism and cool compositions?

For ref, my inquiry is: How does childhood imagination transform everyday experiences. All the ideas I can come up with are "scenes." I do have ideas but I can't move past a certain type of idea. I would like more artsy stuff (?) I want my portfolio to focus on conceptual, symbolic imagery not literal scenes or narratives I want to use visual metaphors to communicate ideas and emotions instead of illustrating moments. I'm drawn to artwork that functions like visual poetry, where objects, forms, or figures carry meaning through symbolism, transformation, and composition rather than straight up storytelling. I see others do such cool things but all I can come up with is almost studies of everyday life through the eyes of kids and studies (mostly perspective) is something I REALLY struggle with.

I'm struggling to move beyond literal scenes and develop the kind of symbolic, concept-driven compositions that make other portfolios so compelling. I do know this, specifically art is something you have to just learn but I'm more looking for a process yall go through to achieve a cool concept for your pieces. Any tips?

Got back on reddit to ask a question, immediately got reminded why reddit sucks

I just wanted to ask about college and I'm being told that I should just go look it up and I'm not college ready because I'm asking questions. I am so angry at this stupid app and how people rage bate constantly on here. Please be kind. I respond as simple and kindly as I can and I GET DOWNVOTED? What is this distopian website omgg

Here's the convo, thoughts?

Guy: "UNYP like all private universities here are degree mills."

Me: "I'm still learning about this uni, how do you know its private? And what does degree mill mean to you specifically. Sorry lol, still learning" I thought I was asking an innocent question you know, trying to be respectful and curious.

Guy: "It's literally public information. If you don't know this then you are not university material." ATP I was thinking great, but how is that relevant. My questions are opinion bases, and how does that not make me uni ready??

Me: "uh sir I'm 16, you can literally just be helpful. Like I said, I'm still learning". I'm trying to keep my cool even though Im frustrated. I just wanted a quick explination, after all, they responded first.

Guy: "16 year olds cannot use google?" I was thinking, well yes but I'm here for opinions AND I was wondering a "how do you know" question, meaning its their own process. Am I crazy or do people not come on here to learn what others think about things??

Me: "why are you so jaded? I literally just asked for help" Now im frustrated at this guy's attitude. I don't understand why people here are so rude tbh

Guy: "If you are like this when somebody tells you facts then you are really not university material and especially not suitable for Czechia. Clearly you are used to the fakeass American smiles." Ill just let that speak for itself.

me: "what facts bro just said look it up"

Guy: "Yes, that's what university students are supposed to do." This angers me sm.

and then a rando pops in, upvoting all his crap and downvoting me and says:

Rando "sorry but he's not [jaded], he's right"

me: "Alright, I'm just going to move on because I'm not going to fight with Redditors, lmao. I hope you know that Google isn't always useful for finding information like colloquial terms, slang, or why people have certain opinions, but alright! Have a nice day, you two. I don't know why you have the time to keep commenting "I'm not going to help you" repeatedly instead of just answering the question. That baffles me, but whatever."

I was about to appologize for ranting then I remembered what subreddit I was on so yippie...

Ratschläge für eine internationale Psychologie-Studentin

Ich suche nach Empfehlungen und Ratschlägen zu Universitäten mit Psychologie-Studiengängen.

Ich lebe derzeit in Bayern und bin internationaler Studentin. Ich habe bereits einen Associate Degree und schaue mich jetzt nach Bachelorstudiengängen in Psychologie um. Mein langfristiges Ziel ist es, später im Bereich Beratung oder Klinische Psychologie zu arbeiten und schließlich einen Masterabschluss zu machen.

Obwohl ich Deutsch lerne, glaube ich nicht, dass meine Deutschkenntnisse bis zum Zeitpunkt der Bewerbung stark genug sein werden, um ein komplettes Psychologiestudium auf Deutsch erfolgreich zu absolvieren. Deshalb suche ich hauptsächlich nach englischsprachigen Studiengängen.

Außerdem würde ich gerne relativ nah an meinem Wohnort bleiben. Eine Fahrt mit dem Auto oder Zug von etwa 2–5 Stunden wäre für mich in Ordnung. Für eine besonders gute Möglichkeit wäre ich auch bereit, etwas weiter zu gehen, aber ich möchte möglichst nicht sehr weit wegziehen.

Eine Universität, die ich mir angesehen habe, ist die University of New York in Prague (UNYP). Ein Teil des Reizes besteht darin, dass das Studium auf Englisch angeboten wird und man einen Doppelabschluss erhalten kann. Das erscheint mir nützlich, da die Wahrscheinlichkeit besteht, dass ich irgendwann wieder in die USA zurückziehen werde.

Allerdings habe ich online viele negative Kommentare über UNYP gesehen. Manche Leute stellen es so dar, als sei das akademische Niveau nicht besonders hoch oder als würde man dort hauptsächlich für den Abschluss bezahlen. Mir ist es wichtig, tatsächlich etwas zu lernen, daher klingt das für mich nicht besonders überzeugend. Ehrlich gesagt wirkt die Universität auf mich anhand dessen, was ich gelesen habe, auch etwas fragwürdig.

Hat jemand hier tatsächliche Erfahrungen mit UNYP? Ist die Kritik berechtigt oder wird sie übertrieben?

Falls ihr UNYP nicht empfehlen würdet: Gibt es andere englischsprachige Bachelorstudiengänge in Psychologie in Deutschland, Tschechien, Österreich oder anderen nahegelegenen Ländern, die ich mir ansehen sollte?

Ich versuche außerdem, meine zukünftigen Berufs- und Weiterbildungsmöglichkeiten im Blick zu behalten. Da ich möglicherweise später entweder in Deutschland oder wieder in den USA arbeiten werde, mache ich mir Sorgen, dass die Wahl des Studiengangs die Anerkennung von Qualifikationen, die Zulassung zu Masterstudiengängen oder spätere Berufslizenzen erschweren könnte. Falls jemand Erfahrung mit diesem Thema hat, würde ich mich sehr über Hinweise freuen.

Die Kosten spielen ebenfalls eine Rolle. Ich komme aus einer relativ großen Familie, daher sind sehr hohe Studiengebühren für mich nicht realistisch. Universitäten mit moderaten Kosten, Stipendien, finanzieller Unterstützung oder anderen Fördermöglichkeiten wären deshalb besonders interessant.

Über Empfehlungen, Erfahrungen oder Ratschläge würde ich mich sehr freuen. Vielen Dank!

Advice for international psych student? [DEU]

I'm looking for advice and recommendations for universities that offer psychology programs.

I'm currently living in Bavaria, Germany, and I'm an international student. I already have an associate degree and I'm now looking into bachelor's programs in psychology. My long-term goal is to work in counseling or clinical psychology and eventually earn a master's degree.

While I'm learning German, I don't think my German will be strong enough by the time I apply to do a psychology degree taught entirely in German. Because of that, I'm mainly looking at English-taught programs.

I'd also prefer to stay relatively close to home. A drive or train of around 2-5 hours would be fine, and I'm open to going a bit farther if it's a really good opportunity, but I don't want to move extremely far away if possible.

One university I've been looking at is UNYP (University of New York in Prague). Part of the appeal is that it's taught in English and offers a dual degree, which seems useful because there's a good chance I'll move back to the United States at some point in the future. However, I've seen a lot of negative comments online. Some people make it sound like the academics aren't very strong or that it's mostly a place where students pay for the degree. I want to actually learn things so this doesn't sound great. It also sounds kinda dingy tbh

Does anyone here have actual experience with UNYP? Is the criticism fair, or is it being exaggerated?

If you wouldn't recommend UNYP, are there other English-taught psychology bachelor's programs in Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, or nearby countries that I should be looking at instead?

I'm also trying to think ahead about licensing and career options. Since I may end up working either in Germany or eventually back in the United States, I'm concerned about choosing a program that could make licensing or graduate school more difficult later. If anyone has experience with that side of things, I'd really appreciate hearing about it.

Cost is another factor. I come from a fairly large family, so extremely expensive tuition isn't realistic. Universities with reasonable tuition, scholarships, financial aid, or other funding opportunities would be especially helpful.

Any recommendations, experiences, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
