5 reasons to study in Poland

Poland is one of the favorite European destinations for foreigners. It hosts more than 57,000 international students from around the globe, and this growing trend shows no signs of stopping.
Why is that so? The low tuition fees are surely attractive, but it’s the sparkling student life that makes it unforgettable.

A great example is Juwenalia, an annual holiday celebrated around Poland that’s fully dedicated to university students.

3. Travel-friendly location
Geographically speaking, Poland is a gem. It is a bridge between Western and Eastern Europe, so buses and trains are great options to get around and explore. There are also good air travel options with daily direct flights from many Polish airports to most of European capital.
So if you’re studying in Poland, it will be easy and comfortable to visit some of the most beautiful cities on the continent: Prague, Vienna, Berlin, Budapest, Bratislava… Where to next?
4. Breath-taking landscapes
If you still haven’t added Poland to your bucket list, you are surely going to regret it once you learn about its stunningly beautiful nature!
Poland has more than 1,300 lakes all over the country and a great variety of striking landscapes. From North to South, its mountains and seaside have tons of interesting activities to offer. Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot on the Baltic Sea compose the beautiful “Tricity” and are known for their resort options, entertaining nightlife and fascinating history. Meanwhile, for those interested in skiing and trekking, Zakopane or “the winter capital of Poland” on the peaks of the Carpathian in the South, is the go-to destination.
5. Cuisine
When it comes to great food, Poland is not usually the first country that comes to mind – although you may know its great beers and premium vodkas from some night-long party.
However, typical Polish cuisine is tremendously tasty. Pierogi, Gołąbki, Rosół, Bigos, Żurek, Sernik, Paczki, Ptasie mleczko… From salty to sweet specialties, have a try to believe it!
