Wroclaw University of Technology (WUT)

Politechnika Wroclawska, Wybrzeze Wyspianskiego 27, 50 370 Wroclaw, Poland
4.25 / 5 based on 42 reviews.
Description:
The Technical University of Wroclaw (Politechnika Wroclawska) was founded in 1945 when a group of Polish academic teachers, mostly from Lvov, arrived in Wroclaw. The city was still burning from the last siege of World War II. They established the University in the buildings which had housed the Technische Hochschule Breslau since 1910. The first class began on the 15th of November 1945 and ever since this day has been celebrated as the University's anniversary.
The University campus is situated 1,5 km from the City centre and occupies a large area splendidly located on a bank of the Odra river.

HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because I prefer to have my own place and don't live in a shared room.
Personal comments:
The dorm is quite good, you live in an international atmosphere and the price is really cheap. The bad point is that there aren't individual rooms and sometimes share the room with other people can be hard.

Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
One opportunity that you cannot lost is the Opener festival: four incredible days of concerts, it is not in Wroclaw but anyway is not so far. You cannot leave Poland without try a milk bar, this is a kind of typical polish restaurants with the traditional food. There are many in Wroclaw. If you want to visit one of the coolest discos in Wroclaw, you have to go to P1, but be careful, on Sunday you have to dress in a correct way.

How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it

Personal comments:
I went to Poland to improve my English level, when I arrived there I realized that only young people speak English (actually like in Spain) so I had to look for other ways to practice my English. It wasn't difficult to find the opportunity: International students. I started to get on with students from other countries (Germany, Portugal, Italy, Slovakia, Turkey) so at the end of this experience I am quite satisfied with my progress.
