Only the living situation. If I had known that all the things that were said to be there, weren't there, I would have brought those instead of having to buy them there. In my opinion:

Personal recommendation:
The CESP programme for foreign students is a bit to easy when studying at university level. This is according to the people involved to support the people that want to travel most of the time and to help them pass the courses. A bit surprising is that people who do make an effort can receive the same grades as people that are hardly ever in class and do the work at the last minute. FINAL COMMENTS
When coming to Prague the first time, it is helpful to bring a small phrasebook and a book about the city/country to help you find your way a bit better. The university also helps you with this aspect by giving a tour of Prague and you can also be assigned to a personal buddy that can help you settle in and arrange accomodation etc. This is especially helpful the first couple of days when everything is new. The buddy is Czech and hence is the perfect opportunity to meet and socialize with a Czech person. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
before you go you should try to sign up for the buddy program..that really helps the first days, since somebody takes care of you..somebody who at least knows the language.. 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. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
On the CESP there were not much work to do. If you are interested mainly for academic skills go somewhere else. If you are interested generally to have a great experience in your life go to Prague. FINAL COMMENTS
There are a lot of opportunities (and cheap) to travel within Czech Rep. or abroad. The best and most fun way is to get together with other students that you will meet. Do not ever take a taxi from the street because they will rip you off. Prefer to call certain companies or prearrange the price.

Personal recommendation:
I would recommend this university for people seeking a fun semester where they can enhance their social skills. If you are looking for an academic experience go somewhere else. FINAL COMMENTS
Reside at the dormitory, much of the social life happens or at least origins there. The czech republic is beatiful and take the opportunity to see cesky krumlov and olomouc(is said to have the prettiest girls in the CR). By train its not far to budapest, Vienna and Krakow and just enjoy. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Prague is a wonderful city, it is worth going. From an academic point of you, the University of Economics of Prague offers not a lot of courses for foreign students that are the same level than at my home university in St. Gallen. But the courses gave me some insight into the Czech transformation process, EU enlargement etc. which you can not get anywhere else but in the specific country. FINAL COMMENTS
Prague is fun, especially when spring starts. There is a lot to see, to do and people are friendly. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Very nice university, new buildings, interesting courses, good mensa, good parties organized by the buddy system. Very nice teachers FINAL COMMENTS
The best trip of Buddynetwork ist the Moravian Wine trip! (not to be missed) for about 1000 kc you will spend a great weekend! Near jarov dormitory there are restaurants like don vitos pizzaria (right over the street), and tram station nr. 9 biskupcova there is cocafe, where all students enjoyed eating. If you travel somewhere try Studentagency which is really cheap! (Bus station Florenc in Prague) To stay in dormitory - try to get A or B if you dont want to share a bathroom with too many people (if you try to speak good czech - dormitory manager is more friendly to help you with anything you need/want) Be nice to Ladies/Men in the Reception of jarov dormitory (you might need them some day and your paties depend on them letting you celebrate longer - ps: invite other czech students living near you too, so they cannot complaint and terminate your party so) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Go for it ! You'll enjoy Prague, which is an amazing city with so much to discover ! FINAL COMMENTS
Tips: - know basic Czech language; - take the opportunity to travel in the countryside (Moravia) and to neighbour countries (Hungaria, Poland); - suscribe for courses with a project to do rather than with a final exam. You'll learn much more : cross-cultural communication, work and exchange points of view with people of different culture, be in touch with local companies...
