So last year I got a full ride to study the master of choice in a certain country (not saying names for the sake of privacy) I am currently located in the EU where I did my bachelor's, and the prerequisite of this scholarship was to learn the language first year then do the two years master.
I wasn't sure about moving to this country from the beginning but my family encouraged me to try out the opportunity and not to let it go. So I went, first I lived in an all girls dorm (everything is paid for) but the rules and regulations there were ridiculous (I'm 25) they would not let us go outside after 8:30 pm and if we were to stay somewhere else during the weekend we had to sign a form and get it approved by the head of the dorm, no guests allowed, no food in the room and every night they did head checks and if i was sleeping then they'd call me continuously like 3/4 times on my phone. So I gtfo of the there. I'm not a religious person and I indulge in the sweet things in life, my mother and godmother are but they respect my choices as I respect their beliefs.
After moving to an apartment, I lived with two adult women who weren't religious but due to their cultural aspects were opposed to drinking and men and were mainly family focused. I never hung out in the living room and basically stayed inside my room 24/7. they invited their family over to the place for 3 months and when I mentioned my friend would come to stay with me they kicked me out of the house (even with a signed contract)
My language centre was a bust, I was constantly harassed by men (sexually) and taken advantage of in terms of pricing for being a foreigner, the women didn't like me cos I am a good looking individual and would often treat me badly like I'm a threat.
Finally I gave up and moved back to the EU (I'm not from here) and am now trying to find a job and eventually make enough to pay for my own masters. My godmother has not spoken to me since the day I decided to move back
