Students speak Why Poland? Why Poland? This question had bombarded me prior to and after my arrival in Poland. It is those nice people whom I met as well as both the way of studying and living here in Poland that made this study exchange an excellent one. Polish students may seem to be shy at the first place; however, you will find them very approachable and helpful once you take a step forward to know them.
