What made you decide to study in Czechia?

Dreams. Yes, my dream to reach the limits made me come to Czech Republic, an average middle class person like me can only dream of Europe. Czech Republic opened me a portal to achieve that dream.

Did your studies meet your expectations? How did you find the study programme, instructors, university facilities? Were there any differences from studying in your country?

Easy to learn syllabus is what makes me interested in studying, I found the university and the program which I am doing now through an agency called Europe Study Center. There are lot of differences when it comes to studying in the Czech Republic. The facilities offered by the campus will provide a stable atmosphere for studies as well

What was the biggest surprise with regard to studying or living in Czechia?

While researching about Czech Republic, I saw many posts mentioning the attitude of native people to that of foreigners in negative ways, after reaching here and from personal experience I would rather says the natives are very welcoming.

What was your most memorable experience or what did you enjoy most as a student in Czechia?

Water Skiing was a one of the experience in my life time I would never forget. The trips that we use to go with our buddies and mentors, whole dormitory coming together and having events and food sharing.

How do you think your time in Czechia has helped your studies and/or your career?

The time is worth a while along with my studies I was also able to travel to a few neighboring countries like Poland, Austria, Germany, Belgium, France and Italy. Now I am preparing to visit Lithuania as part of my ERASMUS internship.

Do you have any advice for students thinking about studying in Czechia?

Certainly, I would recommend Czech Republic for the prospect students, as most of the other mentioned the living cost in Czech Republic is comparably lower, but I would rather say be more futuristic getting a job and settling in Czech Republic will be a much more greater opportunity.
