Experience in Warsaw, Poland by Magdalena
What is it like to live in Warsaw? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?
In my opinion, Warsaw is a place to live not only to visit. At first sight, you won't rather fall in love with it, but I can't imagine, that someone, who chose Warsaw as his Erasmus city, is going to regret it.
What is the student lifestyle like in Warsaw?
You can find party every night. It's also great spot for travels to other places.
How much does it cost to live in Warsaw?
It depends... From 1500 to 3000 zł I suppose. Your scholarship should be enough. Unless you are going to buy alcohol every night.
Is it difficult to find accommodation in Warsaw? Is there any advice you can give?
You can always find something, but sometimes it takes time to find something good. I think the best option is to choose dormitory at first and then move out, when you find something better.
What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?
Dumplings ("pierogi").
What places would you recommend visiting in Warsaw?
Jewish museum Polin and Copernicus Science Centre.
Is it good to eat out in Warsaw? Can you tell us your favourite spots?
The best idea is to explore it by yourself. There is many wonderful places and price are not so high.
Is the nightlife good in Warsaw? Where is good to go?
All the best places are in the center. "Opera" for example is one of the places where 80% of customers is foreign. Personally, I would recommend "Sketch NITE".
What advice would you give future students heading to Warsaw?
Have fun, but don't make a mess in my wonderful city. I love it.
