My semester in Poland was truly an unforgettable experience. Living in a new country for several months taught me so much about myself and the world around me. At first, it was a little overwhelming with the new language, culture, and routines, but over time I found my rhythm and grew more confident and independent than I ever expected.
One of the best parts of the experience was the people I met along the way. I made amazing friendships with students from different countries, and those connections made everything feel warmer and more meaningful. We shared so many laughs, supported each other through the tough days, and explored new places together. Those friendships are something I’ll always cherish.
I’m also really thankful to the university for being so welcoming and supportive throughout my stay. It made a huge difference to feel like I was part of a community, especially when everything around me felt new and unfamiliar. Even though it was a short period it was also wonderful to work with international relations office! They were always so supportive and kind during my volunteering period.
Looking back, this journey gave me much more than academic knowledge. It gave me memories, life skills, and a new perspective on what it means to step outside your comfort zone. Poland will always hold a special place in my heart, and I’m so grateful for the time I spent there.
