Personal comments:
The place was also used as a hostel and it was very dirty. It was cheap and I guess I got what I paid for but if I went back I would prefer to live in an upper scale apartment.

Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The 5 story disco,Mecca,Radhost fx, and duplex are clubs not to miss out on. The cafe on campus was the cheapest and the best quality of food. The mexican places to eat there were decent also. Visit as many clubs as you can, Prague has an amazing night life, and a fantastic university environment. Prague castle was also great eye candy.
