Personal comments

The housing was organised quite well to a really cheap price. The only negative points were the cleanliness and the neighbouring oil raffinnerie.

Most teachers spoke better German than English! The level of English was quite different from very good to satisfying, but almost everyone spoke enough English for everyday communication.

Final comments

For a list of courses ask one week before the start of the semster in the International Relations Office in Bratislava. The old town is very beautiful but small. Public transport is comfortable and I would recommend to buy a travel card for three month. It is cheaper with an student´s confirmation by the University.
