Bucharest - School Report Question and Answers

Do expatriate students socialize with local students at the school? Are both groups successfully integrated into the school culture?

There is a huge division between the Romanian students and the non-Romanian students. The school is supposed to have only 30% Romanians but it's the majority in the middle and high schools. If you don't speak Romanian or are not Romanian you can't be friends with about half the kids, and the Romanians are often pretty nasty to the other kids especially if they aren't rich. - Dec 2014
