No better place to study abroad than Florence Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

I had a very positive experience with Charles University and the ECES program.

On-site administration of your program

The AIFS staff in Prague did an amazing job of making each of their students comfortable and at ease with the transition to a new country. The preparation and help with pre-departure documents (visas, etc.) was very helpful and AIFS was always available to answer questions. The staff both in America and in Prague were very accessible and helpful. My expectations were met, I highly recommend this program.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I was in an awful run-down dorm. It was about a 20 minute tram ride outside of the city. I was very upset/disappointed about the housing conditions. <br /><br /> The Kolej Komenskeho was not very central, it was a hassle to get to and it was very run down. The staff was also quite unfriendly.

Lots of places to eat out, grab a sandwich etc. I did not particularly like Czech food, but there were lots of other restaurant options available (mexican, sushi, italian, etc)

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I felt very safe walking around Prague. The city is very well lit and night and there are always people walking around Prague 1 (the main city hub)

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

I only participated in the 2 week Czech Language Intensive so I was only taught a broad overview of the language.
