Hi people! I will be in Banska Bystrica too for a year from september in Matej Bel university. I see that spanish are there! From what I know, there are ways to spend good time at a lower cost. It isn't a big city but apparently there are many students, bars and ski stations close to Banska Bystrica. The facebook page seems to be abandoned... So, what will you do in Banska Bystrica?

Four people share a bathroom and a toillet. Shampoos, shower gels, toilet paper etc. are NOT
provided. Cleaning ladies clean bathrooms once a week as well as your rooms.

Do we have in dormitory a kitchen? If yes, how is it equipped?

Yes, you do. Each floor (= 16 people) share the kitchen. In the kitchen you will find a fridge with
a little freezer, table, sink, chairs, cupboard and a cooker. There are no pots, plates, cups, cutlery,
etc. Some former erasmus students donated some of the kitchen stuff for the future Erasmus, but it
is still not enough for everybody...maybe in a few years... ;)

Can I wash my clothes anywhere?

In the dormitory there are 2 waschine machines which students can use. For usual wasching
programm you will pay 1,5 euros or 2 euros, but this price you have to pay in 50 cents coins! That’s
why 50 cents coins have a special value for our foreign students. ;) Instructions on the waschine
machines say that you don’t need to use your waschine powder as it will be added automatically.

There is internet in your room, but you need a cable to get connected. There is wifi on the main

get a special card for it, or SLOVAK ISIC and charge it up.

Is ISIC (International Student Identification Card) I got from my homecountry valid in
Slovakia?

No, or rather not really. It does not have a chip, so it is not possible to use it for buses and trains, but
you can still get some discounts at shops or ski resorts etc..But we STRONGLY recommend you
to get a SLOVAK ISIC, because it will make your life easier and you will have all advantages like
Slovak students. You will get 50 % discounts while travelling, you can use it as a bus card in the
city, as a canteen card in our canteen, as a library card, etc... ;)

It costs around 20 euros.
