It's not easy to travel by train in Poland because it's really dangerous.You must travel with friends and not alone.If you want to have some help or advices, you can ask at the secretary at polish university or to erasmus students.

Personal comments

It was a great chance to learn Polish language (To bardzo trudny jezyk), and, having into account that in the future the relations between Poland and the European Community will increase, I decided to take profit from it. I followed a course of Polish at the University, and my teachers at the course as well as polish friends helped me to learn this difficult language and to be able to speak it fluently at the end of my time there.

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Home university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

The residence is the best choice because you can feel the erasmus environment living with people from all over the world. And is difficult to feel lonely!:D

Personal comments

The residence where I stayed was a bit old but well equipped for a student. Was really close to the faculty but a bit far from the center, anyway you could rich it in 20 minutes by underground. The staff was really friendly and warmful always ready for help you.
