No problem at all to communicate with all students as English is the international language.
But it was more difficult with the local people who can hardly speak a word of English.

As the courses were given in English, there were only a few Czech students taking part to them. I think this is a bit disappointing because the University the main place where we could meet czech students.

Personal comments
The accomodation was actually a pretty small room shared by two exchange students. In each room there were also a private bathroom and a kind of kitchen.
Although the flat was not so nice, the advantage was that all exhange students lived in the same building, which allowed to build very good relationships with everybody.
