o univerzitě
Čím byla tvá univerzita výjimečná? Jak vypadaly prostory ve kterých jsi studoval(a) a univerzitní vybavení?
I visited the International Institute of Social Studies (part of the Erasmus University Rotterdam) as a visiting researcher and third-year Ph.D. candidate. The ISS is a great place to study - warm, friendly, and inclusive. Everyone is trying to include you in their work, projects, and interests while also being respectful of your schedule and work-life balance. I've met some great colleagues there and am looking forward to seeing them again!
Co tě první napadne, když pomyslíš na svou "adoptivní" univerzitu. Čím byla výjimečná? Jak vypadaly prostory ve kterých jsi studoval(a) a univerzitní vybavení?
I would highly recommend this institution to not only other Ph.D.s but also other master's students. Since my position as a visiting researcher was a bit different than the usual student exchange, I can only speak from my experience. The atmosphere is very friendly, and the level of your studies doesn't matter - they treat you as equals and respect your opinion, which I really liked.
Jak vypadá studentský život na univerzitě?
I can't answer that since I didn't take any lectures. My stay was focused on academic collaboration on a research project.
Studoval(a) jsi v angličtině, nebo v jazyce hostitelské země? Jaké požadavky jsou v oblasti jazyka kladeny univerzitou?
Since the ISS is very international, the language of communication is English. Advanced level is recommended to be able to full participate in all opportunities this Institute offers.
o městě
Jak na tebe město působilo? Jak byste jej charakterizoval/a? Co je zde zajímavého k vidění?
The Hague is a calm and friendly city. It's not too big, and getting around on foot, by bike, or on public transport is easy. Public transport can get expensive, so many people use bikes as their primary means of transportation. It is quite international and English language-friendly. The Hague is also a seaside city, so during warmer months you can enjoy sunbathing or surfing at the beautiful and clean city beach.
o financích
Jak lze podle Tvojí zkušenosti vyjít se stipendiem? Kolik procent výdajů Vám pokrylo? Jaký je Váš názor na ceny v zemi obecně?
My scholarship was provided through the Erasmus+ program, and it sufficiently covered plane tickets, accommodation, public transport tickets, and everyday expenses. Groceries are more expensive than in Prague, but not significantly, and the public transport tickets can pile up and rack up the budget.
Note that the accommodation in the Netherlands is generally very expensive. I secured a spot in the student dormitory (but the demand is usually very high), which is good for the pocket and for developing friendships. Contact your Institute's accommodation office or DUWO - an organization through which you can search for student accommodation in the Netherlands.
Poraď prosím spolužákům, jak ušetřit - Kde nakupovat? Jaké služby lze v rámci úspory financí využívat?
I would recommend biking as the biggest asset in saving money. Also, there are plenty of shopping centers where you can buy groceries at a discount. A good option is also searching for your local farmers market, which is usually cheaper and has a bigger range of fresh produce - but bring cash!

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 got the accommodation in the student dormitory. One big positive thing that surprised me is that as a student, you get a welcome package with the basic stuff you will need during your stay in the dorm - a plate, a bowl, a mug, a set of sheets and linens, a pot and a pan, one set of cutlery, a pillow, and a duvet. This is all provided by DUWO, and it's really useful since you don't have to worry about bringing your stuff.
o zážitcích
Využil(a) jsi Erasmu k cestování po tvé zemi/Evropě? Jaké jsou tvoje nejlepší cestovatelské zážitky? Co naopak nedoporučuješ?
Since the Netherlands is well-connected with trains, I used that and visited nearby cities. To plan your trip, use app 9292, which will help you plan your trip in the country. You can also buy train tickets through it. To get around the city (or country), use OV Chipkaart. You can make your personalized card, or you can buy an anonymous card at almost every train station. The OV Chipkaart covers you for the busses, trains, trams, and even bike renting through the Netherlands. Just remember to scan it at the entrance and exit - if you don't scan it at the exit, they will charge you as you took a longer trip because the charge is by the distance.
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?
Since the ISS is very international, the language of communication is English. Advanced level is recommended to be able to full participate in all opportunities this Institute offers.
závěrečné hodnocení
Proč právě sem? V čem je lokalita výjimečná? Proč bys své kamarády do své země/ města poslal/a ty?
I focused on this Institute because its area of expertise is closely connected to my research interests. If you are interested in human rights and socially sensitive and inclusive research, this is the place for you.

Před odjezdem bych býval(a) rád(a) věděl(a), že...
...I will get my utensils and linens, so I don't bring my own and save some space in the suitcase.
Nejvíc mě překvapilo, že...
Nejtěžší pro mě bylo....
...openness and friendliness of the people and warm vibe of the city.
