Study in Warsaw - Warsaw in numbers

Vision of myself Coming to the Academy of Fine Arts with the Socrates/Erasmus programme I really didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone tried to help me either with accommodation or working out details of my syllabus. The professors were open to dialogue (they did not impose their vision of art) and let us experiment in searching for a path most rewarding for each of us from a creative point of view. My exchange semester allowed me to form a vision of myself as artist. I decided to become a full-time student at Warsaw.
