Versatility of Slovak university
I really like my university. Teachers are very loyal and friendly towards their students, awakening in them an interest in learning. As a double major, I have been fortunate to be exposed to a wide variety of subjects relating to linguistics, art, philosophy, and education. Therefore, I consider the main advantages of the university to be freedom in choosing the disciplines studied and encouraging students’ thirst for knowledge. Weaknesses, however, are high prices for food and accommodation and less high opportunities for further career development in comparison with universities in central and western Europe, but Slovakia itself is distinguished by a calm and fairly good level of salaries and a wonderful environment.
