Again Vesharad was the best, I really enjoyed myself there right on the river. Space could have been better but it was a great place with other international students.

Course recommendations
Better communication between both host and home Universitues is needed, in order to make sure that the academic aspects of both degrees are upheld and kept to a good standard.

Personal comments
Transfer of subjects and credits became confusing for both Universities. Academically Charles University had very good standards, however the level of English was not always equal. Clear set targets and plan for the semster ahead would have been useful, ie what will be required from each student, course set up, exams, assesments etc.

The only people that go to the 5 story club in Prague are foreigners, so don't go there. Don't eat by Prasky Hrad if you want to have money when you leave. It's very expensive. Go to JJ's pub!! owned by an amazing guy who is from Ireland, but its a local Czech spot.
