Type of housing: On campus

Personal comments:
I had little black tadpole like things in my bathroom all semester, pretty disgusting. The carpet looked like it had been peed on on several occasions. It was pretty disgusting. My school told me I'd get a towel, cooking utensils and someone to clean my bathroom once a week, I recieved none of these although some other students did. Overall, it wasn't too bad, you adapt pretty easily. It could've been worse.

If you are not familiar/ have had no exposure to with Slavic Languages prepare for a some huge culture shock. Most of the admin here spoke English, and most Czech students were willing to jump in and help if they saw you struggling.
