I think Finland will be best as you don't have to pay the tution fee there.
Before you study abroad, you have to show you can afford to pay for the year. Any potential work won't be taken into consideration. Your work options are restricted.
At most you can work 20 hrs and that will be basic minimum wage. Foreign students are unlikely to find work.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
