Final comments
If you are going to do any traveling in Europe while studying abroad book your plane tickets early. During the summer it is very humid and hot. Pack shorts and T's. There are various local pools that are fun to go to where you can interact with locals at.

Dont eat around the city center, everything is way to expensive because of tourist reasons. Find your way out to Praha 3 and beyond where you will find authentic food that is cheap but quality.

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.

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.
