Those people don't really plan to stay in Romania. They intend to get their degrees then move back to Western Europe. Hell, most of my former high-school colleagues who became doctors or dentists, emigrated to Western Europe.

Agreed but what I mean is that 15 years ago you wouldn't have thought about studying medicine in East Europe, or building startups etc. And now people study in Romania, Warsaw is perceived as a great place for entrepreneurs and so on. It's just my personal biased impression but it feels good.

Fair enough, this is a sign of clear progress for Eastern Europe.
