I am expressing an opinion that i have limited experience in. Your experiences dont invalidate my experiences. My experiences make me an authority on my experiences. They certainly dont make you any more or me any less an authority.
Using a proxy is not the same as eliminating censorship. The law changed in August, the department that was responsible for censorship was dissolved in in December/January, non of those times equal a year.
Yes you can find housing for $400-$500, it might not be anywhere YOU want to live, but the vast majority of the world population is not you (its more like no one BUT you). Yes there are people that would describe MISY as the best. As i said they are still a third tier school, though amongst all the bad apples in the barrel they are the least rotten.

I genrally agree with the earlier posters. Non profit schools can make their mission about education. For profits by definition HAVE to make their mission about the money. When money and education clash, money wins at a for profit. In regards to ownership, for profits ultimately have one person or family that determines what happens. its their school they get to do what they want with it. Non-profits are usually run by boards and group organizations. They can at times disagree, and as such decisions dont get made, and the school can "coast" for a considerable length of time until the board "changes". Teachers seldom change a board, its usually the parents if anyone.
I usually prefer working with a non-profit, for profits can look great until there is a problem, and they can get ugly fast. Non-profits tend to be safer.

If you can live on the local economy Yangon can be a cheap place to live.
