travel: you can reach many interesting destinations via train

Make sure you love architecture, history or at least have an interest in nightlife. If you posses one of these, you'll have a great time!

There are a lot of opportunities (and cheap) to travel within Czech Rep. or abroad. The best and most fun way is to get together with other students that you will meet. Do not ever take a taxi from the street because they will rip you off. Prefer to call certain companies or prearrange the price.

Prague is fun, especially when spring starts. There is a lot to see, to do and people are friendly.

When coming to Prague the first time, it is helpful to bring a small phrasebook and a book about the city/country to help you find your way a bit better. The university also helps you with this aspect by giving a tour of Prague and you can also be assigned to a personal buddy that can help you settle in and arrange accomodation etc. This is especially helpful the first couple of days when everything is new. The buddy is Czech and hence is the perfect opportunity to meet and socialize with a Czech person.

Prague has a good location for visiting cities like Vienna, Cracow, Budapest. And it is very international oriented place.
