Univerzita Karlova

Staff were very helpful and friendly at the University. Czech people could be describe as generally quite reserved and quite difficult to get to know, but you will meet some really nice locals. Prague is a beautiful city but is becoming more and more commercial. Be aware of the centre for rip off prices and rudeness. Also sleaze is on the increase with the influx of the rich western tourist. Despite that Prague still is a vibrant city so much to do. I have met people from all over the world who I will stay in contact with forever. Prague created a community in the true sense of what the European Community and of course, the Erasmus programme set out to achieve. Bonding and interacting from all over Europe and the world. It was such an amazing experience. I would recommend it to everyone. It will really change you life!!

Be careful with pick pocketers, especially in crowded trams.

You can travel to all central and eastern europe easily from there, don't wait until the end of the year to start moving inside and outside the country

There's really no formula to studying abroad. It's really all up to you (the individual) to decipher what sort of journey you want to have. Obviously, your curiousity has brought you to this page. My only advice is this, wherever you go in life and on this planet, be like a 3D journal, each day an empty page. And let your surroundings, your thoughts, the people you encounter along your journey to color your pages with life, experience, and beauty. In the end, you can only look back and see a masterpiece.

Travel! It is quite cheap by bus and many central European cities are only about 5 hours away.

Go to Berlin -- 4 hours from Prague. Europe is still cold in May, so bring a warm jacket.
