Accommodation

If you would like to be accommodated in a dorm, you should think about booking it 2 or even 3 months before arrival due to a small number of available rooms comparing to interested students. A single room costs aprox 200-250 Euro per month.

Our university cooperates with 2 dorms.

• Student Depot Polonez 
• Sofa Room4You

We would like to strongly emphasize that we are not an intermediary between dorms and students. We provide assistance only.

Living costs

The Polish unit of currency is the zloty (PLN), made up of 100 groszy (gr). You can check the current exchange rate by clicking on this link: www.nbp.pl

Banknotes come in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 PLN, and coins in denominations of 1, 2 and 5 PLN and 1, 2, 10, 20 & 50 gr.

The cost of living in Poland is relatively low compared to e.g France, Great Britain, Germany, Spain or Italy. The cost of living varies considerably between the cities and the rural areas, with Warsaw being by far the most expensive location.

Public transportation

Poznań is served by an extensive public transportation system operated by the Municipal Transport Company (MPK) which makes it possible to reach the desired part of the city reasonably quickly. The city transportation system operates 24 hours a day and comprises bus and tram routes and the Poznań Fast Tramway (PST).

Using public transport is advisable not only because of rush hour traffic jams but also because of its low cost.  As a result the public transportation is popular with Poznań residents. You can find more at mpk.poznan.pl.

Buddy system

Are you afraid of being alone in a completely new place all by yourself? Maybe you have problems finding accommodation or your landlord speaks only Polish?

Before arrival you’ll get your own Buddy. He/She will help you with every problem that might occur during your stay in Poznań.
Buddies are students of WSB University in Poznań that have voluntarily agreed to help Erasmus students.
