Erasmus Experience in Warsaw, Poland by Sandra
Why did you choose to go to Warsaw, Poland?
I have never been there before. My friends told me about Poland a lot. Beautiful Krakow, Warsaw nightlife, small and calm Wroclaw. I wanted to jump into different culture, to learn something new. I can confess after my third day I wanted to go back home, but then everything changed. I stayed and I do not regret. That city (I was in Warsaw) is magical for me... Oh, Poland, what you've done with me...
How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?
Three months. Approximately 900 zlotych I spent each month (including Internet, and other fees). Another 1500 zlotych I spent for myself. That was enough to eat, to explore good places in the city.
What is the student lifestyle like in Warsaw?
It is all about partying all the time/ eating tasty foode/ chatting/ driking/ chilling.
Would you recommend the city and the University of Warsaw to other students?
Not for everyone I would recommend Poland. That place is not for everyone, but for those who understand.
What is the food like?
Tastes so delicious.
Did it cost you to find your accommodation in Warsaw?
Yes, because I paid deposit twice.
How much does it cost to live in Warsaw?
Depends on... your way of living.
Is the language easy to get to grips with? Are there language courses available at the University?
Yes, there are courses, but I did not attend it. Polish was too hard for me.
What's the easiest or most economical way to travel to Warsaw from your city?
By plane. By train also but it takes time.

Everywhere, look for something at Rynek.
