Hello! Im going to Brno from Spain, to Masarykova University, and I'm totally lost with the webpage. I'm trying to look for information about the subjects... I'd be grateful for any help!

Hi, I am going to Mendel University in Brno in september 2012 for first semester. I read many good comments from international students about Brno. Hope and believe it will be good experience. We may meet and do some activities together in there if we arrange before go to there...

By the way, is there any advice about where to stay? In a dormitory? Or in a house? Or somewhere else? Or let it flow and see what is going to be? :) 

Ewa M. Geschreven 12 jaar geleden

Ahoj :)
I'm going to study at Masaryk University.

Hey !

Going to Mendel University in september for a year, studying agriculture:) Hope we have a great time !

Halil, i think u should stay in a dormitory, at least i am and from what ive heard, its the best choice  :)

Halil Zengin Geschreven 12 jaar geleden

Thanks for advice G K :)

In here I met someone came from Mendel University, he said the same with you, I may stay in dormitory too. Your department and business faculty (my faculty) are on different places I think. May be dormitories are different too. By the way, when will you came there?

G K Geschreven 12 jaar geleden

Havent made any travelling arrengments yet but i think about  18. september when orientation week starts

Ewa M. Geschreven 12 jaar geleden

Matej, there is no need to worry that much about the Learning Agreement now, because (as my friend who studied at MU in Brno told me) after arrival it will change anyway.

So I'd say that now we should choose courses that more or less are interesting.

I hope that the bureaucracy won't kill us! x)

Oh, and staying in dormitory is highly recommended, as I read and as I heard :) (at least Vinařská Hall).

Halil Zengin Geschreven 12 jaar geleden

Did you fill any online application form G K ?

We just prepared learning agreement that is all.

They didnt send us any password and username, but they ask to fill online application form...

G K Geschreven 12 jaar geleden

No actually my coordinator  sent my learning agreement by e-mail (and also by post) today (it was the last day)  :D  So i havent recieved anything yet but im hoping to get some feedback durining this week. But after you sent your learning agreement did you get any e-mail from Mendel Uni  ?

Halil Zengin Geschreven 12 jaar geleden

No I didnt, waiting :) My coordinator said me they will send but they didnt.

(If I understand right) It was the last day for learning agreement and last day for online nomination.

Yep, last day for both. I hope we get our usernames and passwords soon :)

Halil Zengin Geschreven 12 jaar geleden
