Why?
Personal comments
There are two dormitories; make sure that you are in the NEW one... the old one is terrible! awful neighbourhood and far away from the university and the style from the communist time...

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
i would not go back because the courses are really bad (you learn nothing)-and it can be very gray and sad were the university is (outside of town-petrazalka). i had problems with accomodation. just took it because it was not too far from home (vienna).I would not recommend going there if you are from somewhere else.
