How a graduate from Ungheni can get a tuition-free place in Romania

The Romanian Universities Fair, now in its fifteenth edition, stopped in Ungheni on Saturday, 4 July — part of a tour through four cities of the Republic of Moldova. Beyond the stands, the stakes for an Ungheni graduate are concrete: the Romanian state offers thousands of tuition-free places each year, some with a stipend, at universities across the Prut, and Iași is less than 50 kilometres away. Here is what the «Romanians everywhere» programme offers, how to apply and what to watch for.

«Paparudă, rudă, vino de ne udă»: firefighters close out the children's summer at an Ungheni library

At Branch No. 2 of the Ungheni city library, a week of summer activities ended on Friday with a demonstration by Emergency Situations firefighters — the truck, the gear and the water jet — followed by the old «Paparuda», the rain-calling ritual. It looks like holiday play; it is, in fact, one node of a national prevention campaign through which IGSU has trained more than 121,000 children since the start of the school year. It reached the children of Ungheni too, days after an orange-code heatwave.

America Turns 250. What Connects It to Ungheni — from an Oscar to a Fire Station

On 4 July, American Corner Ungheni marked «Freedom 250» — 250 years since U.S. independence. Behind a one-day reception, however, lies a story few people in Ungheni know: a screenwriter born in Ungheni wrote «The Apartment» and won an Oscar in Hollywood; in 1877 the Russo-Turkish war passed through Ungheni station, and an American officer wrote about it; from the old market town people left for New York and Philadelphia. And over the past three decades, America has left concrete traces — from bus stops and a fire station to an «American Corner» in the library. A documented inventory of what has been confirmed and what remains legend.
