Personal comments

The communication culture in Poland was interestingly different from that of Finland. Polish people had more small talk in day-to-day relations than Finnish people, while still being more no-nonsense and down-to-business in business settings. This was an educational paradox that widened my personal perspectives on variations in communication habits between cultures.

Living in a student house is a great way to know how local student live, it is a way to become one of them... Besides that the accomodation I had let me know better all of my classmates (their culture and their own style of living!)

Accomodation in "Sabinki Student Hostel" was OK. We had to share the room with another exchange student, but Polish student shared it with two students. So we can say that we were overfavored...
