KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Well it depends on the purpose of the stay abroad. As a student, it was good being in a building with others students. An apartement would probably be in the future more convenient, although I would not mind sharing the accomodation again.

Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
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.

ACADEMIC

My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
The teachers all took into account that most foreign students do not primarily come to study, but to travel a lot. Therefore, courses were not hard to pass at all. If you're looking for a challenge, this is not the best place to go. However, if you want to see Europe, this is a good place to go.

Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Was learning the local language a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my knowledge
How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: Basic phrases
Personal comments:
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.

Money from home
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
An ERASMUS grant

I worked during my study abroad experience
Personal spending habits:
The student dormitory was very cheap way to live. Travelling wasn't so expensive but I travelled quite much because Prague is so central in Europe and it's easy to travel from there. I spent the same amount of money for food but I ate more often in restaurants than in Finland.
Travel: was more expensive than at home.
Food, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
There are expensive touristplaces in the center (like restaurants) but it's possible to find cheaper ones a bit further from the center.

FINAL COMMENTS

Overall it was very good semester. I met a lot of new friends and learned a lot about other cultures although it did not really bring me a lot further with my studies. But still a time worth spending. The whole of Eastern Europe is wonderful to travel in.
