St. Pölten Was the Turning Point of My Life

Coming to USTP was more than just starting a degree, it was the beginning of finding myself. I came in unsure, a little overwhelmed, but quickly found a place where I felt seen, heard, and challenged in the best way. The professors didn’t just teach, they believed in me. I still remember the moment my lecturer told me, "You have something unique, use it." That changed everything. I went on to lead a student media project that got recognized at a national event, something I never imagined doing before. Campus life felt like a family. From late-night study sessions to creative workshops and international friendships, it was a mix of hard work, laughter, and growth. St. Pölten gave me more than an education, it gave me confidence, purpose, and unforgettable memories. If you’re looking for a place that will help you find your voice and push you to grow, this is it.

university in crisis

the chemical engineering study is a demanding university, always picks up in the ranking of the best university in the country, although in my career there are deficiencies in the reagents of laboratories because of the economic crisis that we live today since most of the reagents are imported

Harassment, discrimination, assault.

Months before I was due to graduate, I faced harassment from two Physics and Astronomy department heads due to having a disability. I submitted a harassment complaint and instead of resolving the situation, the dean of the science faculty, the vice provost student experience and vice provost EDI retaliated and I had to deal with assault from an associate dean. The math courses, physics courses and computer science courses I took were universally poorly taught, and poorly administered. There is no support for students with disabilities and those who are othered are treated harshly and unfairly.
