Why?

It was nice to live among other exchange students. It was easy to keep in touch with others and organize spare time activities together.

Personal comments

The housing was arranged well, all the exchange students had the opportunity to live in the dormitory. There were only twinrooms and that could cause problems to some people. I had a nice french roommate and we got along very well. The location was pretty good because of the public transportation. I found that exchange students' dormitory was better than local students' dorms, more space, more bathrooms..

Czech is really different, but for Slovaks it is okay there. I did not have any problems whatsoever with languages.

Czech is a difficult language and, to my opinion, impossible to learn in half a year. communication is sometime a problem, but with creativity and the friendliness of the Czech people, a solution was always found.
