o univerzitě
Čím byla tvá univerzita výjimečná? Jak vypadaly prostory ve kterých jsi studoval(a) a univerzitní vybavení?
Central European University is modern and multicultural. There is no majority of Austrian students, so almost everyone is considered an international student. Also, they treat you equally. CEU is a liberal, free, inclusive and professional, high-quality institution. The equipment is modern, and the services are generous.
Co tě první napadne, když pomyslíš na svou "adoptivní" univerzitu. Čím byla výjimečná? Jak vypadaly prostory ve kterých jsi studoval(a) a univerzitní vybavení?
The academic year consists of three terms - Autumn, Winter, and Spring. During the Spring term, there are not that many courses (in comparison with the previous terms) - many students work on their thesis or have internships. Exams are usually done as final papers, or written assignments (open-book exams). You have to choose at least 50% of credits from your "Department" (in my case - Public Policy), and the other 50% from other departments. The variety of selection of courses is huge, and interesting, with current topics covered, with a focus on our CEE region. You can choose the courses as Audit courses - you do not receive credits, and usually, the amount of work is less (you have to agree with the instructor whether it is possible to take the course as Audit). There are different timetables, courses have 2, 4 or 8 ETCS (and differ in requirements and its difficulty).
Jak vypadá studentský život na univerzitě?
Life is very vibrant and active. There are many student associations you can join (hiking, biking, bouldering,...). You can also choose language courses (paid or free - depending on the language). There are also many special lectures, seminars, and leisure activities (sports day, meditation, yoga, singing,..) or events and parties. You are treated equally as full-time students so you have access to all activities.
Studoval(a) jsi v angličtině, nebo v jazyce hostitelské země? Jaké požadavky jsou v oblasti jazyka kladeny univerzitou?
English is the main language of instruction. C1 level is required. For a daily life, German is useful.
o městě
Jak na tebe město působilo? Jak byste jej charakterizoval/a? Co je zde zajímavého k vidění?
The city is quite calm but also has a nice vibe during the sunny days (especially during spring and summer). People spend their time outside a lot - there are many opportunities to go to parks, along the Danube, to do sports outside. I recommend museums (Albertina, Mumok, natural, historical, Jewish), parks, Donauinsel, Alte Donau, Donau kanal, swimming in the Danube, Kahlenberg, third wave coffee places, Burg kino, Prater.
o financích
Jak lze podle Tvojí zkušenosti vyjít se stipendiem? Kolik procent výdajů Vám pokrylo? Jaký je Váš názor na ceny v zemi obecně?
The rent is quite similar to the rent prices in Prague. Also, the rent has got more expensive during my stay. A large part of the grant goes to the rent directly. Prices in groceries are very similar to Czech prices - I would even say that some products are cheaper, plus given the huge variety of products. I love the selection of bio, vegan, and vegetarian options - they are also cheaper than in Czechia/Slovakia. The products in the grocery DM are cheaper too. The only thing more expensive here is beer and wine. Food in the restaurants is more or less the same. I recommend to have a part-time job or use savings.
Poraď prosím spolužákům, jak ušetřit - Kde nakupovat? Jaké služby lze v rámci úspory financí využívat?
I recommend the app "Too good to Go" - you can buy food/vegetables/bread from supermarkets or restaurants there at a discounted price, large "surprise" bags. I love the Bio Denns Markt (only bio products). You can save money by bringing your bike here - the infrastructure here is great. I used public transport only a few times. I also bought many things on Willhaben (something like "bazoš")

o ubytování
Jaké ubytování sis zvolil(a)? Doporučil(a) bys jej ostatním? A pokud ne, jaká varianta ubytování je podle Tvých zkušeností nejlepší (kolej, ubytování v soukromém bytě, soukromá kolej, sdílený pokoj a podobně...)?
I chose private accommodation. I found it on WG-Gesucht (a website used by locals). I struggled with finding it despite of the fact that I started looking early on. In the end, it was a great experience, I was lucky with my flatmates. They were great (it was 6 of us in a huge flat with a great location). I recommend speaking German when looking for accommodation.
o zážitcích
Využil(a) jsi Erasmu k cestování po tvé zemi/Evropě? Jaké jsou tvoje nejlepší cestovatelské zážitky? Co naopak nedoporučuješ?
I tried to travel around Vienna, mostly on my bike. I recommend having a bike in Vienna. It is a great way of transportation to discover the city, get around it, and get to know it. I did some bike tours to nearby places.
Jazyk a kultura: jakých kulturních odlišností jste si všiml/a? Jak jste se vypořádával/a s národním jazykem? Byl to i jazyk vašeho studia? Máte pocit, že jste se v jazyce díky pobytu posunul/a?
English is the main language of instruction. C1 level is required. For a daily life, German is useful.
závěrečné hodnocení
Proč právě sem? V čem je lokalita výjimečná? Proč bys své kamarády do své země/ města poslal/a ty?
My experience at the CEU was really unique. I have met many new and interesting people, and I have had amazing lectures that helped me in pursuing my knowledge. Also, I got to know about many interesting opportunities for a future job. I loved the support from the CEU, I felt welcomed here, and everyone was friendly and ready to help. Vienna was not a love at first sight, maybe second:) when I got to know the city, its streets, and my friends from the university.
