Housing
Type of housing: the first month was spent with a host family
Arranged by: Host university

Personal comments
The housing was good because I had 2 roommates, one was Czech and one was polish. Unfortunately, they put all of the Americans on the same floor and this kept us in a group. In general, I think this hindered the experience by making it more difficult to meet Czech friends.

Palacký University feels like a family

Overall
There are 8 faculties at the university - Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Health Sciences, Sts Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology and Faculty of Physical Culture, where I study. Faculties are kind of autonomous and they differ in some things, which is sometimes interresting to compare. Faculty of Physical Culture provides many fields of study, for example Sports education, Coaching, Sport management, Education in protection of the population, Adapted physical activity, Physiotherapy and Education in leissure activities and sport. Our teachers are very friendly and helpful. They remember our faces and names, so it feels more friendly and promotes mutual trust. My field of study - Leissure and sports is very playfull. We have many practical courses such as skiing and snowboarding, canoeing, climbing, summer nature survival, horse riding and many more, which gives us real memories and we learn, how to survive in discomfort conditions and how to organise courses for our future clients and provide them deep experience. There is also opportunity to sign in to licenced courses beyond basic education, for example Fitness coach, Massage, Health physical education and many more.
Student life in Olomoouc is rich and various. You can visit many sport centers, theatre, cinema, or go to pub for beer or stand up comedy or you can go dancing to a night club. There are sometimes cultural events at the city square.

Make an effort to interact with young locals and never waste anytime. I never napped or sat home...there is always something to do when studying abroad and it should be taken full advantage of or you will regret it.

You are limited to an American group and the program is very small. This has its benefits but can also be very suffocating.
