Work / Salary for a senior software engineer in Poland [195]
@fappper
You'll be paying ZUS, state health insurance and this covers your needs. You'll also (and you need to check this) probably have private cover. Doctors here are very used to dealing with allergies.
Depends on how you live. Certainly you'll be able to save some.

Law / Can a student go in any other Schengen country with a Polish National Visa (D) [46]
Schengen is one zone for travel. There are no passport checks within Schengen (they can check ID however they can't make any sort of immigration control at airports etc since there are no borders) and if you've a visa issued by any Schengen country it's good for travelling in all of them. Schengen visas don't give the right to settle in other states, however you can visit without borders.
Has that changed?

For an Erasmus year, Poland is a great choice. There's certainly plenty in Warsaw and the whole point of the Erasmus scheme is to broaden horizons and get experience of living elsewhere in Europe.

A very good quote about the current government:
"There is little to be gained by trying to decipher Kaczyński's plans, goals, statecraft, or ideology...What happened in Brussels was not part of any larger plan...Unlike Orbán, Kaczyński is a paranoid fanatic, not merely a cynical opportunist...It has become clear that Kaczyński will not rest until he puts Tusk in prison. This obviously poses a problem for the EU."

I think so. Both are student cities however Kraków is also very very touristy whereas Wroclaw is less so and the student scene is more visible. It has a reputation for being a good place for students.
This is spot on.
I'm a long way off student age myself however I know all three places well and Wroclaw is a better option than Kraków. Forget smaller places in the east - great for a quiet weekend away however they tend to be places that younger people come from rather than go to.
Would it be better choice Wroclaw rather than Krakow?

there are plenty of cheap places to socialise in, as well as plenty of cheap/free activities in English.

There are still plenty of activities and plenty of nightlife in Wroclaw that is geared to a student's budget. In fact there are thousands of students there.
These are places people are more likely to come from rather than go to.
It's more the attitude there, even of educated people. I wouldn't mind living there myself (and have a weekend dzialka very near) however a younger person, particularly a student, would almost certainly be happier in a city with a large student population.
