Information on studying at Torun University and rental costs for apartments

Hello to you all,

I'm currently considering to study in Copernicus University Torun to get a MBA degree. From what I've seen from the Internet, it really does look great and I visited the university's website to know more about Torun. However, it would really great if someone around here who is living / lived in Torun could give some information about the city.

- What do you think about the university, the academic stuff, are you satisfied?

- Are there many foreign students in the city? Would I find a hard time finding foreigners at the university?

- How much does a non-fancy studio apartment rent cost, assuming it would not be far away from the city centre. .( Or any web-site about rentals in Torun would be appreciated)

- I did take some time and read some topics about racism. Should I be worried about racism in Torun? (Let's say I'm a gay, black Turkish Muslim.)

- Do young people play bridge (the card game)? Could I find some bridge partners in Torun?

- And the music? Are there any blues/jazz bars that any good? Are these genres any popular? Are there any good music studios that I can jam with some friends?

I'd really love to get in touch with any of you who lived / lives there so please send me a message.

Kind regards,
çeşitliolaylar

I'm not sure about the MBA that they run, however the university is OK and you'll find other overseas students there. It isn't a hugely cosmopolitan place - even one of the more conservative cities, however there are a couple of gay bars and the student population is quite a mix.

As for music, Bydgoszcz down the road might be a better bet.

You can usually get a game of bridge in PL (they play their own version of Italian Blue Club) however a lack of Polish language would be a handicap.

For studio flats, they aren't expensive and you might have a look at Gumtree.pl

Thanks for the info Jon!
