University of Economics Prague review by vdouchie
Review by vdouchie, Université Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
Management Science, Erasmus 
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
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.

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
Nightlife as well as local restaurants are pretty cheap in Prague. It's also an amazing city for art events. Not to be missed : - an evening at the Opera - trip to Moravia (wine cellars), Budapest, Krakow... This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
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. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Be aware of basic Czech language. This could help in some situations : shops, local restaurants... In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
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...
