Erasmus Experience in Bydgoszcz, Poland by Cemil

Why did you choose to go to Bydgoszcz, Poland?

I've heard that life is not that expensive in Bydgoszcz and I chose to go there. So I could save my money and travel, and I actually did it, but I can't say that I would do it again if I have another chance. Disrespectful people, bad night life, freezing weather, bad entertainment, etc. But if you only want to save your money and travel to different places, this would be a good choice.
