6500 gives 4595 net. As they wrote, you would have to pay around 2500 per month for average size apartment. With 2000 per month left for family of 3 you will have modest live and trouble to save anything.

Study / Universities in Poland, will studying here be cheaper than in North America? [4]

If you're Caucasian race then you should not feel any racism in Poland. It can be different if you have African or Middle Eastern face. In second case you will feel less staring in bigger cities.

Work / Moving to Poland, will I be able to find work with a masters in Economics and an MBA? [19]

Work / Moving to Poland, will I be able to find work with a masters in Economics and an MBA? [19]

I think that your qualifications are useless in Poland without knowledge of Polish language.

Life / How do the Polish feel about air pollution in their cities? [35]

I think that same important is weather wind can easily travel through the district from out of the city. If higher buildings block air, then stink cannot easily leave.

Work / Moving to Poland, will I be able to find work with a masters in Economics and an MBA? [19]

Why are you telling us about your professional experience? In order to move to Poland you should buy plane or bus ticket. Ryanair is the cheapest option. You are right that you don't need Visa. Passport or ID is enough. Take warm clothes, because usually winter is colder in Poland than in Italy.

News / Poland has the most dangerous roads in Europe [34]


I think that finishing express ways in Poland can improve this ranging by 30%. In 10 years we can see who was right.


I said exactly opposite. The lack of 2 lanes roads made it hard to understand that one should never overtake.

News / Poland has the most dangerous roads in Europe [34]

I agree, but in my opinion improving standard of roads is simpler. And about people in Poland dangerously overtaking. I think that it's easier to constrain yourself from doing that on one lane road, when you know that this should be done on 2 lanes roads only. But until recently, there was nearly no 2 lanes inter city roads, so it was hard to understand that one should never overtake.

Georgia - 155

So, as you see Poland has similar quality of roads as Romania and Serbia, but 2 x more cars. When you look at map, Serbia has one long highway across the country. Taking into consideration size of Poland, it would need few of them and in 2011 - the time of publishing ranking none of currently constructed highways was ready.

News / Poland has the most dangerous roads in Europe [34]

you must have really dangerous roads if you have to turn when you see dangerous driver. And of course it has to do a lot with roads, because on two lanes expressway, lanes are divided and you cannot hit the car going opposite direction while taking over a car.

Genealogy / How can the surname Drzewiecki be both Jewish and Catholic? [37]

From my understanding Drzewiecki comes from drzewo - tree, so It's not any Christian saint and it is a Slavic word, so perhaps the name was popular between Jews living in central Europe.

You should ask more specific questions. No, there are no foreign universities doing research in Poland. But there are PhD programs in English, some having cooperation with foreign university, giving chance for students to work for some time (0.5 - 2 years) abroad. They are not many though.

Law / Do I need a work visa before moving to Poland? [29]


People earning this much in Karków have to share apartment. It's not enough to rent one for yourself. So if your girlfriend earns too and can host you, then you will survive.
