Hi! My name is Nastya, and I’m a second-year student at National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” from Ukraine.
I stayed in Kalisz during the winter semester of 2024/2025 and I’d like to share a little bit of my own experience here.
The Erasmus+ programme gave me so many unforgettable memories and a wonderful experience. It helped me grow more as a person and find out new things that I enjoy and am good at. Also, another amazing thing is that you can meet here many new people from different countries and backgrounds. It was a pleasure to get to know all the students who studied with me and realize that we actually have lots of things in common despite being so different at the same time.
Regarding Kalisz itself, I want to say that I really liked this city even though it’s quite small. It was even better than I expected when I came here and experienced its atmosphere and beauty in reality. I don’t regret choosing this place as my new home for 5 months at all. Plus, it’s not a problem to get to other Polish cities from Kalisz, so I strongly advise to travel around Poland and visit places like Krakow, Wroclaw, Warsaw, Lodz, and so on. Each city has its special charm, and I’m happy that I got the chance to visit many of them during my stay in Poland.
I’m grateful to all the organizers of this program for giving me such a wonderful opportunity to try something new and get so many incredible memories.
Thank you, University of Kalisz! You’ll hold a special place in my heart for a long time!
