Travel / Getting from Krakow to Warsaw [99]

Merged: Public transportation - is it easy to get around (specifically Warsaw <-> Krakow)?

Hey guys!

So I'll be in Warsaw soon for school and was wondering how the public transportation is. I know driving is brutal.

What's the best way to get to Krakow from Warsaw and back? Train or bus? And how often do they come. I'll be going from Warsaw

to Krakow often (maybe every or every other weekend) so I'm kind of curious. Also, are there any express trains to get to Krakow and if so, how much

are the fairs?

Thanks in advance.

Study / Need advice on MA programs in Poland [13]

Hey dutyfree, if you're on Facebook, check out the schools group/page.

When I was looking for info about SGH - The Warsaw School of Economics (Master's in IB), I found a group and asked some questions about it. A lot of the people were really friendly and informative.

Study / Need advice on MA programs in Poland [13]

I was planning to attend SGH in Warsaw and heard it was a great school - in Poland and Europe.

I live in Canada (but born in Poland) and have my Bachelors (Honours) in Econ and wanted to try something new, ie. live in Poland. From what I have heard, it looks to me like a great school so I applied.

Merged: SGH - Warsaw School of Economics a good school? Looking to take the English MA in IB

Hey guys (and girls),

I'm currently in the process of trying to decide on what to do; stay in Canada or move to Poland for two years to take the English Masters in International Business at SGH in Warsaw.

Just a quick background, I was born in Poland but have been living in Canada for about 23 years (I'm 25 now). And every time I go back to Poland (which is usually ever summer or second), I always say to myself that I would love to live in Poland again sometime. I just feel "at home"... if you know what I mean.

So, a few questions:
Is SGH a good school to take a Masters program? I know every case/person is different but is it hard/easy for a graduate to find a good paying job (if you know anyone that has went there)?

I keep seeing people post salaries in the 3000-4000zl range here which is quite low compared to the salaries here. But I know some things a lot more expensive here than there and our economy is a lot different as well. For an entry job here (with a University degree), monthly pay would be 7,000zl and up. I have a BA Honors in Economics from a Canadian University and I speak English really well. My Polish is OK as I can get by.

Another question about the degree(s) from SGH, is it recognized in other EU countries? I'm having trouble finding out whether the English MA I want to take would be recognized here as I would return after the two years.

I'm not going to lie though, I also want to go to Poland for the "experience" of living abroad. I love the night life and atmosphere of the beautiful cities.

Any suggestions or advice would be great! :)
