555555 11 Jul 2015 #1Good morning! I am an international student who got accepted in both universities however I soooo confused which one should I choose to start my undergraduate program in. I understand that Warsaw is much bigger than Wroclaw but I've also heard that Wroclaw has a better students life. I need opinions about the 2 universities and the 2 cities asap plz.
Polsyr 6 | 760 11 Jul 2015 #2Both are great towns but for foreign students I recommend Warsaw over Wrocław due to having a larger expat population.
jon357 74 | 22,033 11 Jul 2015 #3A very hard call. Wroclaw is a bit cheaper, Warsaw has more people and a degree from their is more prestigious. Both have good student life. Warsaw does have more people from different countries...
OP 555555 11 Jul 2015 #4Thanks guys from your answers. Is the residence permit process also the same in each city ?? what I understood from you is that Warsaw would be better Wroclaw
jon357 74 | 22,033 11 Jul 2015 #5what I understood from you is that Warsaw would be better WroclawIn my opinion yes, however Wroclaw is great too. It depends what sort of things you like really.Is the residence permit process also the same in each city ?Identical.
OP 555555 11 Jul 2015 #6Thanks Jon! Could you also please state some advantages and disadvantages of living in both cities or studying in their universities ? so I can just take the final decision.Thanks again in advance
Nathans 11 Jul 2015 #7Life in Warsaw is more expensive, pace of life is faster, and it's a little more competitive. If it's your first time in Poland and you prefer to take your time to get familiar with Poland / Polish people / life in Poland, I'd suggest Wroclaw. Otherwise, if you feel strong about your abilities, are into quick professional life, need a lot of diversity then Warsaw might suit you better. Regarding the weather, overall Wroclaw has more warm days and less snow than Warsaw.
OP 555555 12 Jul 2015 #8@Nathans,Thank you soooo much :) that really helped ! I hope it's easy to communicate in English in both cities as I don't speak polish at all but willing to learn it as soon as I get there.
OP 555555 12 Jul 2015 #10@WulkanI speak English, Arabic, a little German. Will I find troubles with communicating with English mostly?
