Erasmus Experience in Prague, Czech Republic, by Stefania

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

I didn't study at university, but I recommend the city.

What is the food like?

It consists of mostly meat and potatoes.

How much does it cost to live in Prague?

It depends on your life style. Living in a dormitory is cheap, but you have to be lucky and live in a proper dorm. A friend of mine lived in a dormitory where he had bedbugs in his room, and it caused him big problems, so it would be cool if you could check it before moving in. Otherwise, you can live in a flat but it is becoming more and more expensive; usually a rent for a single room is not less than 300€/month. Then, you have to pay for food, transportation and everyday purchases, so I think the average cost per month is around 150-200€ + rent.

What's the easiest or most economical way to travel to Prague from your city?

By bus, but it takes also a long time (12 hours).

What good cultural sites are there to visit?

There is a Castle.
