Study / American Studying abroad in Wroclaw [3]

I am going to be studying abroad in Wroclaw for a year and I have a few questions about my stay. The first question is, do a lot of people in Wroclaw speak English? Another thing I would like to know is how much money would be ideal. I am going to be here for 10 months. My study abroad program will be giving me 900 zloty a month for food which can be used at restaurants and the schools cafeteria. I was hoping to take anywhere between 3000 - 4000 USD with me for the trip. I will have to buy my own textbooks for classes and everything else. I know that I want to go to a few places while in Europe, Madrid and Amsterdam. I probably will go on a couple more. Would this be enough money for that?

I am also curious about the nightlife for students? Are there any good clubs or pubs that a majority of students go too?
I am really excited about Wroclaw and I just want to know as much about the area as possible before I leave in September.

Study / American Studying abroad in Wroclaw [3]

Alright that's good. And I don't have to worry about accommodation. I'll be staying at university provided housing at Wroclaw university. Only bill I believe I will have to worry about on a month to month basis is a cell phone if I even opt to have one. I have my mac computer so I will be able to communicate back home with iMessage and FaceTime as longs I have wifi.

Merged: Estimate for how much money for 10 months in Poland (Wroclaw)?

I will be spending 10 months in Poland for a study abroad program and I would like to know how much money would be a good amount to have. I will not have to pay for accommodation. I will also be receiving a stipend of 900 zloty every month which is supposed to be for food but I can use for other things as well including going out which I probably plan on doing about 3 or 4 times a week. I might get a very basic cell phone although I won't necessarily need it because my laptop can handle all of my cell phone capabilities. I also want to travel to a few place while in Poland including; Madrid, Amsterdam and maybe a few others. Could someone give me an estimate to how much money would be ideal for 10 months without having to pay for accommodation and food?
