Studying economics here changed my perception of reality. It could be only more specific. Also because of the disorganization some of the content was doubled and we have to go through it twice.
Good choice

I will always remember the years spent at the Cracow University of Economics with great joy. I learned a lot there, not only theoretical but also practical.
