Why Moving Abroad to UNYP Was Totally Worth It
March 19, 2026by: Laura Holičová - SlovakiaProgram: Bachelor of Communication & Media
I came to UNYP wondering if I would even make friends, but the community here exceeded all my expectations – by the first week I already had people I still hang out with regularly. Starting my 4th year in Communication & Media, I’m so glad I made the decision to move abroad and try studying somewhere completely different. The teachers and staff are incredibly supportive and approachable, treating you like an adult and encouraging open discussions where you can share your opinions, even if they differ from others. The courses are engaging and interactive, giving plenty of opportunities to develop practical skills. Beyond academics, there are numerous clubs, activities, and events that make campus life lively and fun.
Wonderful experience!!

Great place to meet interesting and important people
September 17, 2025by: A S - Czech RepublicUNYP is very welcoming and supportive of students; it is not only a safe environment but also a great area to share your ideas and converse on intelectual matters. The homework is vast but informative and all organised to act as a consistent study system for future exams.
Very good experience this past week.
September 15, 2025by: Midya Mahmoud Ali Agha - SyriaProgram: Bachelor of Psychology
Even though I missed the orientation week due to travel issues, I felt welcomed on my first day of studies and met a lot of great people. The instructors are great and very helpful and supportive. The campus is in a nice area in Prague and easy to navigate.
Best experience ever!
September 19, 2024by: Lauren Rosenberg - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
Going into college, I knew I wanted to study abroad no matter where in the world it was. Two years into my college career, I could not have been more thankful that I was given the opportunity to do so in Prague. The city itself is beautiful and has a wide variety of cultural experiences from its historical landmarks and local cafes. Right in the heart and center of Prague is The University of New York in Prague, which is where I attended school for my spring semester. Immediately upon arrival I felt welcomed from the students waiting at the airport to pick us up, along with orientation the very next day. UNYP provided multiple opportunities within the first week to meet new friends and familiar faces. Studying at a new school in a new country can be intimidating, but UNYP did the most to decrease those nerves. Throughout the semester, I was able to build relationships with my professors and learn about their stories; UNYP being a huge international school means students and professors come from all over the world which is super cool. I even met a professor who lived about an hour from me at home in the US! The atmosphere of the small school allowed me to feel comfortable and be friendly with my peers. Outside of UNYP, I had the opportunity to travel around Prague, as well as to many other countries around Europe. In total, I made it to about 12 different countries, from taking weekend trips to spending extra time in Europe even after my semester ended. I could share about my experience forever; my good memories and friends are never ending, but then we would be here for hours. Overall I had an incredible experience from the girls I was living with, getting lucky to spend my semester in the beautiful city of Prague, and having a great school like UNYP to provide a great education and further advance my studies in and out of the classroom. To anyone thinking about studying abroad especially at UNYP, do it!

Nee york university in Pragur is a great university with many options. Drudents are provided plenty events throughout the semester that provides opportunities for students to meet new people, culture and get to know the city better

Great uni in the greatest city
September 07, 2024by: Petr Jirsa - SlovakiaProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
I loved my time at UNYP. The uni is not so big, so you easily meet new people and you will always know someone at an event or in the classroom. The uni is located in one of the most beautiful neughbourhoods in Prague, with many cafes and restaurants nearby. Plus the quality of education was very high, so I was very happy with my choice to go to UNYP. Would definitely recommend if you wanna meet new friends from all over the world and enjoy studying in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Once in a lifetime experience.
September 01, 2024by: Louie Iaccino - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
I wish everyone could experience studying abroad at UNYP, because it was filled with everything you could ask for. Between the people, teacher, administration and living within the city was all wonderful, truly made this process so much easier and better.
Met interesting people
August 29, 2024by: Anna Bořková - Czech RepublicProgram: Bachelor of Psychology
At UNYP I found some people that became my friends. Especially regarding the psychology bachelor's degree, I find that the people were most of the times, very outgoing, warm and welcoming. There are a few exceptional professors at UNYP who make learning about psychology fun and engaging. One more reason to join there class. There is a wide variety of courses to choose from, but one has to be careful with statistics, and some other courses, because those are sometimes taught by professors that do not have a background in psychology. Also the financial strain is a bit larger, so it is important to keep that in mind. On the other hand, UNYP has a plenty of options of going abroad on the Erasmus programme, and I must say, that the Erasmus programme in Spain, Madrid, was a total blast. In other words, if you would like to meet interesting people on this degree, this is the place for you (just beware of the exam week - all exams happen during the last week of the semester and it is not a fun experience).
Beautiful City
August 23, 2024by: Ryn Clark - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
The housing and school were in an excellent location. I was part of the summer program so clubs were not really an option. I would have enjoyed if there were weekly (Wednesday night) local thing planned. I do see most of the town on my own but I think an optional weekly check in would be cool since its only five weeks. The first few days with all the info was a nice intro but that was pretty much all the info we got and were left to figure it out. Which is cool, but since social groups were limited, a weekly hang organized by the school for the first 2 weeks atleast would be helpful if you dont get along with your roommates.
Time You Want To Spend
August 17, 2024by: Grant Frith - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
I was skeptical of doing this program at first. I did not want to do all of the this work and have it not meet my expectations. I thought, how good could a month in Prague really be? Spectacular, and better than anything I could have imagined, that is the answer. I truly push anybody who is thinking about doing study abroad to just take the leap. You will not regret your time and, if somehow you do, you will not leave without having learned some things. The people at UNYP (University of New York In Prague) were excellent at inviting us into their country and giving us advice. We learned how the transportation worked, customs of the locals, activities to embark on, etc. However, they also allowed us to primarily just do our own thing. They were always there for support if you needed. One of my friends on the trip had a weird sickness arise in the first few days. One of the student managers personally took her to multiple clinics and they even became friends. Additionally, classes were not too difficult if you just showed up so there was plenty of time to do anything you wanted to do. Just do the trip. Seriously, Prague is the most beautiful city I have ever been too. I do not regret a second I spent there.

Fruitful experience
August 16, 2024by: Chloe Chan - MalaysiaProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
I am overall satisfied with my semester abroad with UNYP as I got to immerse myself in an international environment, which opened my eyes to different perspectives as I talk to people from many countries.
The summer of a lifetime!
August 16, 2024by: Ellie Crist - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
I had the most incredible time studying abroad at UNYP. During my trip I was able to meet new people, both in the program and around the UNYP campus, learn new things, in my courses and from cultural experiences, and travel throughout the Czech Republic and its neighboring countries. I was also fortunate enough to get to know the amazing staff at the Center for Global Engagement, each of whom were always willing to help students with any questions or concerns about daily life, culture, travel, classes, or emergency situations. I wouldn't trade this trip for the world!

Amazing time in Prague!!
August 14, 2024by: Christina Clayden - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
I absolutely loved studying abroad at UNYP. The school was extremely helpful in setting up housing and roommates. They also had a preplanned orientation program that got you to know the students, culture, and city of Prague. They had a wide range of student activities and clubs to choose from and were helpful when picking your classes. Overall, it was a great experience!
I had a great experience studying abroad at UNYP
August 13, 2024by: Dan O'Connor - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
Studying abroad at the University of New York in Prague this past semester was one of my greatest experiences as a college student so far. Everything about my time in Prague was great: classes, housing, community, safety, opportunities to travel, and more. I would have a hard time trying to think of anything I didn't like about my time as a student in Prague, and I would absolutely recommend UNYP to other students.
The best experience of my life
August 10, 2024by: David Roseberry - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
I loved this program. The campus is in the middle of Prague and close to everything. Professors are understanding and personable which made my experience memorable. We also had a lot of free time for trips to other countries during the weekend. Such a great program!
Study abroad
August 09, 2024by: Braden Luther - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
Out of all the study abroad experiences I have heard about from my friends, my experience in Prague was high up on the list. Everything pre departure was so helpful and the way that school was layed out allowed me to experience Prague, Czechia, and travel whenever wherever I wanted to.
UNYP
August 09, 2024by: Christopher Dubom - United StatesProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
The study abroad program was definitely an experience. The living situation was great and the world of beer course was great. But the pre departure steps leading up need better communication. Please work on that for future semesters
Very difficult but wonderful
August 09, 2024by: Nicole Ivanchin - IsraelProgram: Bachelor of Psychology
Price of uni, housing, and not understandable health care. Those are incredibly hard. The studies are interesting and Czech Republic is wonderful. I don't regret it, but it's difficult, especially when you do everything alone, and try to work and study just to afford a better life
The best 4 years of my life
August 09, 2024by: Chiara Jurkovičová - SlovakiaProgram: Bachelor of Communication & Media
UNYP truly was the best choice I could have made for my studies. I never thought I could enjoy school so much, yet I walked in that building with a smile on my face each day. It was the professors, my classmates who became my closest friends, the environment, everything. UNYP was everything. I will always remember it as the happiest and best 4 years of my life.
What an experience!
July 23, 2024by: Amalia Vesely - CanadaProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
The University offers a wide selection of opportunities, activities and networking! Also Prague is such a beautiful city to live in and so easy to do some great trips from! I was very welcomed here and I enjoyed my overall study experience! Highly recommend when you want to study in English, get the individual attention and experience living abroad!
Great Option for Study Abroad
February 26, 2016by: Mark Anderson - PragueProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
UNYP has a completely new campus in the center of Prague and new high end student residences just 100 meters from the campus! The UNYP Student Council is incredibly active and organizes during the semesters parties, trips and other activities for all students. Additionally, UNYP launched its full service Study Abroad program for visiting students that include transportation, integration and accommodation services as well as tuition in a single price!


I love Prague
February 21, 2016by: keeley gambinaProgram: Semester Abroad with The University of New York in Prague
The biggest area I felt i had trouble with was immersion into the culture and having an active social life while abroad. My program consisted of students from my U.S. school living together, taking classes together taught by a professor that came there with us. I would have loved to have met more students from UNYP. Perhaps if UNYP in conjunction with study abroad programs could host events or provide opportunities that could encourage more overlap I would've felt that I met more people in Prague. Everyone at UNYP speaks english, meaning communication and activities would be easy to coordinate. We just didn't have much opportunity to meet or interact with other UNYP students because our program was a bit closed off beyond using the UNYP facilities.

For me, studying or working abroad offers professional and personal growth—exposure to global ideas, unique job experiences, and opportunities to build connections worldwide. Others are drawn to the adventure itself: trying new foods, learning languages, and immersing themselves in history or nature. However, I knew I still wanted to stay in Europe.

I’ve always had this burning passion for diving into different cultures and learning new languages. It’s like each culture is a unique book filled with stories, traditions, and ways of thinking that are so different from my own. This curiosity isn’t just a hobby for me; it’s a driving force that pushes me to engage with diverse perspectives. Every time I meet someone from a different background or pick up a new language, I feel like I’m adding another layer to my understanding of humanity. It’s fascinating how people perceive the world through their cultural lens, and I love being able to share in those experiences. Independence and personal growth On top of my love for cultures, I’ve always been an independent person. Living far from home has really tested my ability to adapt and thrive on my own. There’s something empowering about figuring things out without relying too much on others. Whether it’s navigating a new city or tackling challenges that come my way, this independence has played a huge role in shaping who I am today. It’s not always easy—there are definitely moments when I miss the comfort of home—but each challenge I face helps me grow stronger and more resilient. Adapting to new environments adapting to new environments is another skill I’ve honed over the years. When you’re thrown into unfamiliar situations, it can be daunting at first. But I’ve learned to embrace change rather than shy away from it. Each new place I’ve lived has taught me something valuable, whether it’s how to communicate effectively in another language or how to appreciate different customs and traditions. This adaptability not only enriches my life but also enhances my interactions with others, allowing me to connect on deeper levels. In summary, my passion for exploring cultures and languages, combined with my independence, has significantly shaped my journey in life. These experiences have made me who I am today—curious, resilient, and open-minded.

I was drawn to studying abroad because I wanted to experience a completely different culture and see more of Europe beyond Spain. I’ve always been fascinated by Central Europe, especially Prague, with its mix of history, culture, and vibrant student life. Studying at the University of New York in Prague also sounded like an incredible opportunity to meet people from all over the world and study English, which is so important these days. Plus, I knew it would be a challenge that would help me grow and become more independent.
