Univerza v Ljubljani

for sociology, little is available in english.. but a bit more every year. but you can pick up classes in all universities around town. i ended up studying economics, international relations and diplomacy (EXCELLENT CLASSES AND EXPERIENCES AT FDV), popular culture, protection of environment, tourism, and any classes, but only with books and meeting teachers now and then. the quality is different for each classes and faculties... you wont meet any local student in economic faculty, but in social sciences you will make dozens of friends.

More classes in English in certain faculties... I actually did not study what I was supposed to, but ended up studying a lot of fascinating things, I had a speech in front of foreign affaor minister at the national parliament... I now have solid backgrounds in different fields, I dont regret anything. My home university is happy with it.

that I would give up learning Slovene so fast. I would be ready to come back here and fully learn it tho, provided i have time for it.

They make it very easy and convenient for foreign students. It is one of the world's best welcome organization. They will make you go out, travel, meet people, discover things, until you do it yourself.

Fantastic system of coupons to go and eat 3 course meals in maxican restaurants for 3€, macdonalds for 1.5€, chinese for 2€... etc, with 100 restaurants to choose from. food in supermarket is same price as western europe. Its OK, as a cooking Frenchman I didnt suffer as I did in England or Norway. Mobile phones is slightly cheaper. Housing is same price as Western Europe for the same quality, but I settled with less and was happy with it. Nightlife is way cheaper, which makes you drink 10 vodkas in a club instead of 3 beers in your home country. so the money spent is the same but its more fun. I travelled a lot around (many countries very near!), but it was rather cheap though. and Hitch Hiking is a true alternative, Ive used it to go back to France, to go to some croatian islands, to visit places in Slovenia, go and have a pizza in Italy... Overall, its slighlty cheaper than France, but you are very tempted to spend more. You wont have any big financial trouble though.

It is the best independent way to choose who ull live with, and have your own place our of student craze.
