Cost of Living
Practical arrangement before the
exchange period
I booked my air tickets two months in advance.
Visa applications takes time.
All the documents that are required for a student are given on the
Poland’s Embassy website.
Academic learning
It was a different and nice experience for me as I was living abroad for the
first time.
I think this whole experience has made me a more confident and
independent person.
During the free time I used to travel to neighboring countries and also
used to attend the various activities organized by Erasmus Student
Network of University of Warsaw. It was nice to make some international
friends and interacting with them and knowing their culture.
Intercultural encounter/incident during
the stay
I learned that I can live on my own i.e. living independently in a new city
or a new country.
If I talk in general the communication gap is there in most of the countries
throughout EU, but with the help of Google translator any one can survive.
Value of the exchange period to your
intercultural competence and learning
I learned some polish and some Chinese as I had a Chinese roommate.
Knowing about culture of china for me was important as my family does
business with China.
Tips to peers planning on going to the
same place
Plan everything in advance and start applying for visa 3 months in advance
from the exchange date because booking visa slots takes time.
