Abstract: The problem of youth migration for education in Moldova existed during and after the Soviet period. Since 1991, many young Bessarabians decided to study in Romania for various reasons [1]. The present paper reveals the results of a survey on Moldovan students from three universities in Bucharest: Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies, University “Politehnica” of Bucharest, and the University of Bucharest. 65.1% of the students surveyed were influenced in their decision to study in Bucharest by the prestige of Romanian university centers, 86.55% believe that getting a bachelor's degree in Romania helps them to find a job easier in an EU country; 50% of students are interested in attending Master courses in Romania while 29% of them want to continue working in Romania, 50% - in another country (preferably in an EU country) and only 21% intend to return to Moldova.
