Housing

Personal comments

Is good enough, it´s in good location, the only thing is the cleanliness, you have to share bathrooms with more students and there's where the cleaning problems come from.

Academic

Course recommendations

We didn't have the opportunity to choose our courses, that was already set by the agreement between the universties, but they were great, both practical and theoretical courses. About other international students, there weren´t other international students, just the students from my university and the local students.

Final comments

Poland is a great country, is my favorite country from East Europe. Also it has great sights you most visit, first of all Krakow, the most beautiful city in the country, and also places such as the salt mines, the wawel castle, Aushwitz-Birkenau Museum, all around Krakow. Also is the place where you can meet the most beautiful blond girls in the whole world.

Personal comments

Use public transportation such as buses and the tram if you go by yourself, if you are going back home after a nightclub time, be sure to take a normal taxi, don't get in a fancy car 'cuz they are two or three times more expensive. During the day you can walk, is great sightseeing and safety if you are near downtown.
