Erasmus Experience in Brno, Czech Republic by Meritxell

Why did you choose to go to Brno, República Checa?

I choose to go to Brno because there is one research group at the medicine faculty who is expert in the machine that I need for my PhD thesis.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

I stayed there for 3 months and I recieved 350 euros each month. It's absolutely enough to live there. Of course I mean for the food and all the basic things. If you want to visit different places you have to put some money.

Would you recommend the city and the University of Brno to other students?

I would recommend the Masaryk University because I think that is a very good Unicersity. The city is not what I expect but it is not bad.
