Personal comments
The thing is that I lived on polish side of the river Oder and studied on german side. This unique opportunity gave me good language skills in mostly german language since all my courses were provided in german as well as the exams. But I also learned a lot of polish language and culture, enjoyed it a lot and saw a potential interaction between these two cuntries. I passed border of the european union every day on my way to school.It was a very exciting and valuable excpirience.
