Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I prefer it that way, it's cos effective even though it's more expensive in poland, the accommodation conditions are far better.

Personal comments
I had to look for the flat by myself, so I did. I am happy because I gained new experience, even though at the beginning I had to struggle with my language deficiencies.

Personal comments
1. If you want to have spanish banking account they will charge you 30e - even though you want to have a student one, they charge everyone who is not 'spanish'.
2. they also charged me everytime when I had to withdraw money from my polish account there - and it was not 1e... sometimes 8 sometimes 9 - till now i don;t know why.
