Personal spending habits
I found Poland to be much less expensive than living in the UK. Food cost about the same in the end because I ate out alot (laziness and not-so-great kitchen), although some of the restaurants I at which we ate were amazing. I didnt use the phone much, but texts were cheaper. I actually bought a cheap phone there, but most people just bought a Polish SIM card. The University accommodation was roughly 1/3 of what I pay in the UK for my flat. A Polish beer (0.5L) is about £0.50 to £0.80 (and tastes much better than anything in the UK)!! -some places even have a weekly free beer night... Clubs were cheap to enter for students. With your Polish student ID you get 33% on travel (which is cheap anyway), so a 3 month metro/bus/tram pass was about £15. Trains had similar discount (and don't forget to reserve seats).

Personal comments
Always carry your Polish student ID; 33% transport, entry to clubs... You can usually find a cash machine ("Bankomat") at metro stations. Remember though, some UK banks charge for withdrawls abroad.

Personal comments
Polish is very difficult! Luckily most students and staff speak (embarrassingly) good English (also in some cases; German, Spanish, French or Russian). I learnt basic phrases in Polish because I think it is rude to visit a country and not try -this was always appreciated. Outside the University, most young people can speak English, so in restaurants/pubs/clubs etc things are quite easy. It helps that the people are generally very friendly. Communication was never a big problem.

Academic
Course recommendations
I just had my Final project to perform during my stay. I did not need to take any courses, although I was invited to take any that interested me. I had my own space in the lab with internet access (I recommend you take a laptop).

Personal comments
Organisation could sometimes have been better since I only had a relatively short stay. However, I completed my project in time and it was well received by my home University in the end. However this would obviously depend on your work and supervisor.

Housing
Type of housing: dormitory room
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: dormitory room
Why?
best way to meet people (local students and other erasmus). cheap. organised by the staff. great parties!! the dormitory was specific to the faculty.

Personal comments
i recommend the dormitory for the above reasons. the facilities could be better/cleaner, but for me this was outweighed by the fact that the people were all so friendly. the room itself was great and i was lucky enough to share with a local student rather than another erasmus student.
