I attended a Polish course at university but it was not like expected. I learned to less to survive due to the fact that the course focused on grammar. The whole semester was a real improvement for my English.

hardly everything is a bit cheaper in Poland than in Austria. The only thing is the price in housing. It was higher for me, because in Austria I still live with my parents.

I would advise to go to eat out all time you can: it's cheaper than shopping and food is not THAT bad...

Course recommendations
Most of the teachers were pretty well in English but the content of the courses had sometimes not really much to do with the subject.

The courses are quite easy. "Philosophy" and "Social exclusion" was quite interesting.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Cheap and really great: you can choose a location both close to the university and to the market place, the appartments are really huge for an average of 200euros a month each in co-rental

Don' t use Ober Haus to find a flat, the best is coming one week before and have a look in the nowspapers with your tutor.
Ober Haus is extremely expensive
