Sometimes it was frustrating when I wanted to speak with polish people and they didn't know any english or spanish and I didn´t speak any polish, but also I met people who spoke english or spanish, and they tought me some polish words that helped me sometimes.

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Why?

For me is always better to live by my own, otherwise living on campus you have to attach to the rule schedules.

Is good enough, it´s in good location, the only thing is the cleanliness, you have to share bathrooms with more students and there's where the cleaning problems come from.

Music Bar 9 (best one for me), Pasja, black gallery. For sure go have lunch at the Stare Mesto (The old town) It´s a beautiful square full of restaurants, and a little market to buy souvenirs.
