 Hi, I'm Leila. I'm from Israel and I study international management. I'm in my first year and I'm the president of the Student Council. Definitely this one course I have, it's issues in the contemporary business environment. You study like a real-life situation of how to take a company abroad in the different forms and different functions you have to consider and I find it really interesting. The advantages of living in a student residence would definitely be the price and what you get with the amenities and a shared kitchen and everything. You can even get a kitchen that's not shared and the 24-hour front desk. Definitely the social part of always being surrounded with people your age who are also students and you can even just pop in for a quick dinner. It's super fun. I would recommend it definitely because it's so clean and it's so nice to be in a new city that has so much history and it's beautiful. What I would highlight about living in Prague would definitely be meeting so many new people who are from so many places and it's something you don't get in a lot of places. At first I was a bit nervous because of all the metros and the trams and the buses and all of that but I got used to that very fast, especially with Pierre-Dily Tachka which I really recommend using. In terms of settling in, everybody is nervous at first, there's nobody who isn't and what really helps actually is the welcome week. I found that the activities they do really do make you connect to people and find your friends. I'm still to this day friends with people I met on welcome week. I do find it quite easy to keep the balance between my social life and my academic life at PCU. I feel that the professors are quite considerate and they really like especially in your first year lend your hand. If I had to describe the experience in one word it would definitely be exciting. If I had to give any advice for new students it would definitely be to not be nervous. Everything will go just fine, it will run smoothly and it will be an amazing experience.
