Life in Krakow
Like many of the Jagiellonian University's departments,
the Centre for European Studies is housed in more
than one building in different locations around Krakow.
The administrative offices, reading room and some
of the classrooms for the Study Abroad program are
located in a
turn-of-the-century building on ul. Garbarska,
overlooking the walled orchard of the Carmelite monastery.
The building also contains a computer lab with 16
desktop computers as well as access to the Internet
for laptops using wireless or ethernet connections.
Many students eat lunch downstairs in the "Pigoniówka"
restaurant. The Study Abroad program also uses classroom
space on the main square of Krakow, in an early-16th
century townhouse.
The main offices and classrooms for Polish-language
students (as well as Euroculture and Double-Degree
students) are located at the Przegorzaly campus on
the outskirts of Krakow.
Housing:
All students will coordinate their housing directly
with the Center for European Studies at Jagiellonian
University. Student accommodation is available in
dormitories (Zaczek and Nawojka). The dormitories
are about 15 minutes by foot from the classrooms and
offices on ul. Garbarska. Due to space limitations,
CES cannot always guarantee that your housing preferences
can be fulfilled. Please submit your request for housing
as soon as possible. The cost of University housing
is about 45 euro per month. The housing fee may be
paid by the month to the dormitory or it may be paid
as a lump sum to the Centre for European Studies office.
Many students also choose to hire furnished flats,
mainly in central Krakow.
Meals:
Students are responsible for all meals.
