And you will never want to leave

When you hear the Czech Republic, probably the first thing which comes into your mind is Prague, I know. But what about BRNO?

Living in Brno

Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic and the best city in the world. Every foreign student I asked loves Brno. And there’s no wonder. You can find here everything you need. There are many cultural events such as film and music festivals, concerts, sport events, festivals of food, beer, wine, local culture; cinemas, shopping centres, gyms and sport centres, cafés and restaurants, pubs and discos but what is the most important: there are plenty of nice and friendly people who are always willing to help you with everything you need. (Of course you can also meet mean and rude people but that happens at every place in the world).

Erasmus Gala!

[Polish]

Cracow, the 7th of December 2013. On a first glance it would seem like any other day, the only difference being the falling snow. However, nothing could be more misleading! This is a very special evening, when the members of ESN UEK and International Programmes Office, Alumni, the honorary members, Erasmus students and fellow members from organizations such as AIESEC or ESN UJ, had a chance to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of ESN UEK section as well as the 15th year anniversary of Erasmus Programmes in Poland. In order to mark such an important day, the board members of ESN UEK, with the help of many current and former members of the section, decided to organize a magnificent gala, which honestly did not differ too much from an Oscar Ceremony 🙂

Erasmus Gala!

[English]

Kraków, 7 grudnia 2013, sobotni wieczór. Wydawać by się mogło, że dzień jak każdy inny a jedyną odmianą – padający śnieg. Jednak nic bardziej mylnego! To właśnie w ten wyjątkowy wieczór członkowie ESN UEK wraz pracownikami Działu Programów Zagranicznych, Alumnami, Członkami Honorowymi, Erasmusami oraz zaprzyjaźnionymi osobami m.in. z AIESEC czy ESN UJ świętowali jubileusz 10-lecia istnienia sekcji a zarazem 15-lecia programu Erasmus w Polsce. Aby uczcić to ważne wydarzenie Zarząd ESN UEK z pomocą wielu obecnych jak i byłych członków sekcji zorganizował wspaniałą Galę, niewiele odbiegającą od m.in. gali rozdania Oskarów 🙂

Welcome to Vaasa – Finland’s sunniest city!

Vaasa is located on the western coast, 420 km from the capital Helsinki. With 65.000 inhabitants and of those 12.000 students, makes Vaasa the one of the best study cities in the country. Of the inhabitants there is 71 % Finnish speaking and 23 % Swedish speaking people. For you guys who have never heard that Finland has two main languages (Finnish 90% and 5.4% Swedish), I will now inform you, we who speak Swedish we are not from Sweden; we are just as much Finnish as the people who speak Finnish! And just to base this fact on something real, there is a city not far from Vaasa named Korsnäs, which is the most Swedish speaking region in the whole world! (Yes! more Swedish than any place in Sweden, I find that quite cool! :))

Polak, Węgier dwa bratanki, i do szabli, i do szklanki!

We are András Király and Dávid Timár from Corvinus University of Budapest Hungary. We strongly recommend you to spend one or two semesters in Budapest, at our University.

Why?

There are lot of reasons, let’s begin with the University. Corvinus is the best and oldest university in Hungary focusing on economics and business. Predecessor in title of Corvinus was started in the early 1910’s as an independent department of economics in the National Academy. After World War II, it became fully separate and independent, by the name of Hungarian University of Economics. In the communist era the university was renamed after Carl Marx. The final and current name – Corvinus – was given in 2004, after a great fusion between the economics, business, social sciences departmens and the College of Public Administration and the former University of Horticulture and Food Industry [http://portal.uni-corvinus.hu/index.php?id=44616].

Therefore, our university has the best economics programmes, recognized by the labour market. A degree from here is a good entrance. The education is of high-standard, lot of very well-known international professors, economists, politicians come to hold here for some lectures. The latest “big name” visitor was Ban Ki-moon [http://www.un.org/sg/biography.shtml], Secretary-General of the UN!

DIJON – the capital of French cuisine

[POLISH]

welcome

Welcome to France! The official welcome!

Why this choice?

Long time I wondered where I should go on the Erasmus program … Our university has a rich offer. I focused on France. I started studying French, and what is more, I love cooking – so maybe this place will be my little paradise? 🙂
The decision about the city was quick. I do not like big cities, so I eliminated them. I met up with a friend of Beaune (village near Dijon), which, as every local patriot suggested  me Dijon…Why not ? I’m going!

DIJON – stolica francuskiej gastronomii

welcome

Welcome to France! Oficjalne powitanie!

Dlaczego Dijon?

Długo zastanawiałam się gdzie powinnam wyruszyć w ramach programu Erasmus… Nasza uczelnia oferuje szeroki wachlarz ofert. Skupiłam się na Francji – w końcu rozpoczęłam naukę języka francuskiego, co więcej uwielbiam gotować – więc może to miejsce okaże się moim małym rajem?

Decyzja odnośnie miasta padła szybko . Nie lubię dużych miast, więc je wyeliminowałam. Spotkałam się ze znajomym z Beaune (miejscowości obok Dijon), który jak każdy lokalny patriota zasugerował mi „swoje” miasto – Dijon… Dlaczego nie? Jadę!

Do you want to STUDY abroad? Do you want to meet AWESOME people?

If you said “YES” probably you took part in the International Day on 24th October at our University! What was happened? More than a dozen stands that were „a piece of other countries” attracted with colorful flags, interesting decorations and the smell of regional dishes!

Nevertheless, the main purpose was that we all could find out important information how to spend part of studies at foreign university. Well-trained volunteers answered your probing questions. They could be easily identified by the white shirts with a writing about this event. Our lovely Erasmus students also helped us! Who can tell more about the country than the inhabitant of this country? Thank you guys for your help! 🙂
