The summer that changed my life: Notes from a student who fell in love with Warsaw

by: Nya Feinstein - United StatesProgram: Warsaw: Security and Society in the Information Age
10

My experience in Warsaw was the most formative, inspirational, perspective-changing, and enjoyable experience of my life. The city is alive with a juxtaposition of the rich past, beautifully historic Polish culture and a present focus on progress and innovation. Around every corner is a new experience, a beautiful view, and a żabka store (trust me, you'll know what I mean). The course itself at Collegium Civitas was beyond incredible, featuring knowledgeable professors and engaging material. Even as I write this, over a year after returning, I consistently think back to lectures and have used the knowledge gained to shape my ongoing research and future plans. Speaking of which, the publication through the internship at the end of the course gave me valuable research experience and has propelled me forward in my academic pursuits. Of course, none of this could have been possible without everyone at SRAS - you will never meet a more highly organized, experienced, and caring team who place education and experiences as their number one priority. This program gives students the chance to explore their interests in the very interdisciplinary realm of international relations, and I firmly believe that anyone with a love for learning about global studies will find a home here. If you don't know what you're looking for - this is your sign to study in Warsaw! You'll find it, have a great time, and you may just find yourself along the way.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Warsaw

Study Abroad in Warsaw

There are about four major universities located in Warsaw: the University of Warsaw, the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music, Warsaw School of Economics, and Warsaw University of Technolog. International students will benefit from studying at any of these universities, but it is best for students to align their university choice with their major in order to make the most of study abroad in Warsaw. Outlined below are some of the most popular subjects of study in Warsaw, but this is merely an overview of the broad spectrum of courses that will be available to international students in Warsaw, as almost any topic is fair game.

Music. Most well known for being the birthplace of namesake and celebrated romantic composer Fryderyk Chopin, the Chopin University of Music is an exceptional place to study abroad in Warsaw for students in the process of earning a music degree. Though most noted for its composition program, performers and conductors alike can also find plenty of beneficial courses of study in Warsaw.

History. There truly is nothing that compares to the feeling of studying a portion of history where it actually took place, and living and studying in Warsaw will award students with many opportunities to do just that. As a pivotal city, and country for that matter, during WWII, students will have access to a number of historical landmarks and artifacts during any study abroad program in Warsaw. Warsaw is an especially fascinating place to study history abroad (particularly the events surrounding WWII), as it was completely destroyed during World War II and then completely re-built into the sprawling metropolis that it is today. The opportunity to literally walk through history cannot be taken advantage of enough by any study abroad student, no matter where they choose to travel to.

Archaeology. Working somewhat symbiotically alongside the history department, there are an impressive amount of research and archaeological study abroad program opportunities available throughout the city of Warsaw. Several universities lead research expeditions to outlying countries too, even as far as the Sudan, Egypt, and Peru, and there is also considerable funding from the EU and other governmental agencies for these types of programs.
