Because it was really great, all students lived in the same place, we had seperated flats with four big rooms,kitchen and two bathrooms, if we had any problems, people from reception were coming very fast and solving them

Final comments

If You go there for spring semester dont bother to take any kitchen supplies because people that are leaving they just will give it to you.usually fridays are free so you ar able to travel for few days and as Czech Republic is just in the middle of Europe, everything is pretty close to it. And better go Erasmus during fall semester so you acn prolong your stay :]
