Course recommendations

The subjects of courses were interesting but I found them a bit traditional in the sense that professors were lecturing and students listening. I would wish more interaction and group works.

Personal comments

The place was also used as a hostel and it was very dirty. It was cheap and I guess I got what I paid for but if I went back I would prefer to live in an upper scale apartment.

Joe's Bar..the place to be. That was Hemingway's favourite bar, too. Then it depends on favourite music. Lots of Jazz Clubs, Rock Cafes...Enough to choose from. Cafe Cafe..a bit pricy but nice atmospere and good Cappuccino. Coffee is not enjoyable in Prague..anywhere you go.. Prague is a very beautiful city..a must-go.

Try to explore the whole country, because the capital alone does not say everything about a country, its people and culture.

No problem at all to communicate with all students as English is the international language. But it was more difficult with the local people who can hardly speak a word of English.
