Academia de Studii Economice din Bucuresti

Best pubs: Club A, Twice Opera, theatre, Palace of parliament, Atheneum not to be missed 1st December is the National Day of Romania, big party at the Piata Universitatii

clean, modern, directly in the city center, close to means of transportation

their are various local language courses, I had the possibility to use the local language in every-day life (e.g. talking with relatives, friends), not so much at university

taking money from the cash dispenser can be very expensive; taxis are really cheap, but not all (some charge relatively high prices)

I really enjoyed my stay at Bucharest although there were some problems at the beginning to get familiar with everything (bureaucracy, other living standard). I improved my knowledge of the language, got to know better the culture and people and met a lot of new friends from all over Europe. It is true that there are some negative things to say about Bucharest itself (traffic chaos, noise) but there are a lots of places to relax like parks, etc. Sports can be done at a very cheap price, but travelling and visiting the country is the most interesting thing. The university is not really modern but there is an excellent atmosphere among the students.
