Don't judge a book by its cover
Anastasiia Morozova rated 5 out of 5 stars
My university is small but it is a great place to learn. Though it is little, personally, it benefitted me a lot as teachers had the opportunity to get to know their students and students had the opportunity to talk to teachers outside of their lesson time and comfort zone making them very approachable. They are always positive about it which had only helped me.

It is indeed a very good University with wonderful, wise and helpful lecturers. There are obviously some things which should be improved but overall in comparison to the other Universities in Poland and Germany, it's great. I can definitely recommend it. It provides you with great amount of knowledge, good atmosphere and amazing people.
