Yes, it's true also for students at university. A tradition which I hope is decreasing in popularity.
Is it customary in Poland for students to give the teacher a gift at the end of the term? If so, is this true for college students or just lower grades or both?

Study / Going to Medical School in Poland (University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn / and others) [51]
I don't think they have an English Divison, so probably there are very few students from abroad.
However, in some universities in PL you can study medicine in English. Good quality and much cheaper than in the US.

Almost all Poles going to the UK return sooner or later.
However, most of the Poles who went to the US in the 60's-80's, never returned to PL.
longterm this causes a huge braindrain in Poland.

You usually get what you pay for.
If something has been transported all over the world, and is still much cheaper than local products, you don't want to eat it.

If you speak fluently, I guess you can get excellent reading skills, and good writing skills, in 6 months.
But it's obvious that it's difficult to get an academic job if you can't read and write well.
