Housing

 
All students have the option to live in the Bratniak, a student hotel and dormitory located less than one block from the Jagiellonian University. The Bratniak offers students a comfortable and secure place to live and study, and will provide breakfast to students and faculty members on weekdays. To secure student's safety, the Bratniak closes its door at 11 p.m., and has a receptionist on duty 24 hours per day. The Bratniak is not accessible to persons with disabilities.
 

The program arranges housing, weekday breakfasts and weekend day trips for one flat rate, depending on room type. Each hotel suite consists of two double rooms and a shared bathroom for the suite occupants. Room preference will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, upon receipt of the $500 deposit. Housing arrangements will be made based on availability at the Bratniak or at another comparable, nearby facility.

Meals

 

Breakfast will be served in the Bratniak dining area each weekday and is included in the cost of housing. Students are responsible for their own lunches, dinners and all weekend meals. Prices in Poland are still very reasonable by Western standards and are subject to modest fluctuation, depending on changes in the Polish economy. Students can enjoy a hearty lunch or dinner for the equivalent of $8-$15. Elaborate meals are more expensive, but a student can savor the wide expanse of Polish cuisine without taxing the pocketbook.
