Nightlife if very cheap. Even when they ask more than what they offer it in the catalogue. But take it easy! In that way u spend more than u would in your country and u don't understand it.

Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?

Personal comments
Local people don't speak English so in everyday situations sometimes it may be a little difficult to communicate especially in the beginning. Concerning the university, the teachers and students where more than understandable but the receptionists and generally the rest could have been better. (actually in the dormitoy they HAVE to be better)

Personal social experience
Personal comments
Just avoid the big cinema megaplexes and visit the small cinema's that dot the city. Certainly visit the opera a few times and, of course try the beers and home-made high-spirits.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Dorms in Slovakia are in a terrible condition and they are not very cheap.

Personal comments
It is better to find a room with somebody in a private house although in Slovakia rules are not very clear for private owners and they may think, for example, that they can hold a key and use it at any time.
