Work / From Malaysia and I'm about to study in Poland ...advice please [4]

Glad to hear that..thank you... :)

Glad to hear that..thank you... :)

Make it 2000 zł, you'll still be able to save at least 1200 zł.

Important part is do you cook for yourself? Eating out twice a week is different then eating out 7 times a week, three times a day, cooking for yourself saves you at least 500zł.

thanks so much Sokrates. I'm learning to cook here in Malaysia. so pretty much I'll be cooking for myself. I'll do as u suggest, hopefully by the time I reach there I can find a house mate.

if u have any other information that u can share with me, please do not hesitate to reply or PM me..thanks.

Work / From Malaysia and I'm about to study in Poland ...advice please [4]

Hello there and greeting to everyone reading my post. Well just call me PK...abbreviation of my name.
While I am writing this message I'm in Malaysia...very soon( to be precise on the 1st September 2010) I'll be flying to Krakow,Poland. I am about to be a medical scholar in Jagiellonian University Medical College under the 6 years MD programme in English. I'm a Malaysian Government sponsored student actually and will be receiving a monthly allowance 800 Euro = 3256.85 PLN.

To be honest guys, I'm in a sort of dilemma. I aspire to study in Poland, obtain my degree successfully and at the same time enjoy myself there and in other European countries during my 6 years time there. But at the same time I would like to acquire a few skills there( which I don't really prefer to discuss unless they are important) and get involved into some things that I had in mind...particularly working out under a personal trainer maybe...

So my question here is that will my monthly allowance be sufficient for me to do the things that I mentioned earlier and at the same time save some money maybe around 500-1000 PLN per month??

see guys, though I have a few other scholars who will be following me but I wish not to rent a house with them...so pretty much I have to find some other international or local students to live with...So i guess by now you guys should have guessed the amount of money that I'll have to spend per month which will have to cover my rental, transportation, mobile phone and internet connection, good food(since I love tasting new flavours), water and electricity bilsl, some household appliances(which I can manage with my house-mates-to-be hopefully), groceries and ect...and not to forget for my entertainment and travel and tour.....

Initially I thought of getting a part time job somewhere near my medical school but I don't want to jeopardise my studies as I really need to focus on my studies and ace it as I want...

wow..guess its a freaking long post...I'm open to any kind of response and reply..feel free to reply or PM me....thanking you in advance. :)
