International students stories

Hi, My name is Sırrı and I’m from Turkey. I was in Kalisz two years ago and I spent a really great time there. I promised myself to come to Kalisz again. As you know, studying abroad and living in another country, in a different culture is not as easy as it sounds but I felt like at home in Kalisz. The city is small that’s true but we found a lot of things to do together. You can find everything you need easily. The professors were so nice and always tried to show us more than our classes. They arranged some visits to local hospitals and other health centers. International Relations Office staff organized some meetings, trips, and other events for us. I’m really looking forward to visiting the city and reviving all the good memories again. Don’t hesitate to go to Kalisz!

Hi, I’m Seyda. Kalisz was my second home. I had a lot of Polish friends. They were all very polite and valuable people for me. I spent a fun time in Kalisz Aqua Park, the city center, municipal parks, and forests. I want to finish with a joke: “Kalisz is the most beautiful city in Europe” at least for us.

International Relations Office staff was really helpful and I am really thankful for it! They also organized different activities and trips for us and it was really fun. We spent a lot of time together. The knowledge gained at the university was really useful. I loved my teachers. They always had new things to show us. I am so grateful for that.

Hello, my name is Aysel. I spend two semesters in Kalisz, Poland. For me, the Erasmus+ Programme means not only studying but also having great fun, making new friends from different countries, tasting the dishes of European cuisine, and learning some dances. Kalisz is a really good place to study. Although public transport connections are not satisfactory. The Erasmus Coordinators as well as International Relations Officers helped us to solve some problems with some study programmes or at the dormitory. Kalisz was like a second home to me. I will never regret it! I miss all of You!

Hello, my name is Anelia. This was my first mobility and I was very scared at the beginning. Kalisz made a good impression on me. A large percentage of the inhabitants are very friendly and smiling. This mobility gave me the opportunity to meet some students from different countries but mostly it helped me improve my language skills. I want to thank my coordinators in Kalisz for everything and I hope to meet them again. This mobility was a very exciting and unforgettable experience.
